Just used this for a weekend trip, it's big, and strong, and quite the looker. You all think I am talking about a man. You are wrong. I am talking about THE BEST duffle bag I have ever owned. It easily held all my clothes, my pillow, a twin size blanket, my shoes and had room too spare. And when I got home and put things away, I folded it down to about the size of a piece of paper and about an inch thick. Will definitely be purchasing another for a gift.
