Condor Colossus Duffle Bag

I was surprised it was not bigger. I purchased this to use as a checked bag for an upcoming military training. I needed a checked bag I could put about 1 weeks worth of combat uniforms, socks, underwear, t shirts, toiletries, fitness uniforms, tennis shoes, and combat boots in. The bag though had to fold back up due to limited berthing in the room I was staying in. This looked like it would work well.I packed it up tonight. It is filled to the top but is holding 4 sets of army combat uniforms (blouses and trousers), 6 pairs of boot socks, 3 patrol caps, 1 pair of combat boots, 2 pairs of sneakers, shower shoes, toiletries, underwear for 1 week, and 4 fitness uniforms (shirts and shorts).I could zip it pretty comfortably. I was hoping to have a little more room so I could put my laptop bag in the top of this once I got it from the baggage claim at the airport, but I don’t think that will work.I’ll post an update on durability after American Airlines beats the crap out of it on this trip.UPDATESo this bag went with me to and from a month long army school and I beat it up pretty good and it held up great.It’s been across the country a second time for a 3 day drill weekend in another state.It still looks brand new. A good size for a long weekend. I like having the side compartment that I can put my combat boots in and also a pair of running shoes. Inside has enough room to put 3 combat uniforms with shirts and socks and a couple fitness uniforms.

I absolutely LOVE this bag. I was previously carrying an israeli duffle bag for all my gear at work. This bag from Condor is far superior. This is what I've shoved in this bag on a regular basis:-Full duty belt-body amor-trousers-shirt-combat boots-pelican case with firearm and mags-side pockets contain keepers, pens, notebooks, etcI love how this bag can be carried like a backpack....and there are handles on both end. My favourite part of this bag is the separate compartment for my duty boots....this way when they are dirty it doesn't gummy up the rest of my gear. When shopping for a gear bag I contemplated the 5.11 line but decided to give this bag a chance as it was significantly cheaper and designed purposefully.Highly recommended bag for all your travel gear needs.2015-11-13 UPDATEI absolutely beat the crap out of this bag and it still keeps on ticking.....I throw my rain soaked boots in the side pocket and my gear fits great....It gets tossed around in the back of my truck.....no complaints...everything is holding up nicely....stitches are solid, zippers are fine...and the colour has not faded or ripped. I've been recommending this bag to all my coworkers.

This bag was bigger than I thought. Item is described as 26 inches long but it is about 30 inches overall. The stated dimensions in the item description are for the main compartment ONLY. That's a plus! I bought this bag and also bought the Vertx contingency 85l thinking the 85l would be bigger but the condor Colossus is actually about the same if not slightly bigger!Other than the size and the good balance between quality and price, this bag is almost featureless. Besides the fact that you can wear it like a backpack, there's virtually nothing thay stands out with this bag.The main compartment is just one big cavernous region. The only organization in the entire bag is the 2 mesh pockets on the flap opening. The 2 long side zipper pockets, the 2 top/bottom zipper pockets, and the top boot compartment offer zero organization. Buy some packing cubes.The materials feel strong. When it comes to nylon gear, when you reach a certain threshold of textile strength, it's really the stitching that dictates quality. Both the 2 side and 2 top/bottom grab handles are bartacked and box stitched. The top/bottom grab handles are padded with soft material. The backpack strap connection points are also bartacked and padded. Those look like they will stay strong for many years. The piece of nylon that holds the D-ring that connects to the single shoulder strap, however, is only double (or triple, it's hard to tell on black) stitched. Not the worst, but I think this will be the first strap to fail out of all of them, tho, it will probably still last a long time. Just keep in mind to always grab the center grab handle when you use the single shoulder strap and this shouldnt be an issue.This bag also does not keep its shape when empty at all. The walls are not reinforced with padding or a stiffener. It's just a straight nylon bag.That being said, this bag is worth it. As long as you keep it relatively full, it should be comfortable to use. I'll be adding foam or a blanket to add padding to the bottom as I plan on using this as a kit bag for relatively large items. The Vertx 85l duffle I bought has 10x the amount of features that this bag has but it also costs as much as 1 months car payment. I also believe that they will probably last similarly long amount of years, tho, I do give the edge in almost all categories to the more expensive bag.Tl;Dr:It's cheap enough to buy 2. It's high enough quality to last years. Its not feature-packed by any means. Definitely a good storage bag.

I think the only bag you could get maybe a little tougher would be Maxpedition (at 3 x the cost) but this bag seems plenty tough. Just as a reference point really. I am impressed with condor products once again. This bag doesn't look the same long shape as the photo. It's fatter. It's great and I bought two and might get more before the price changes. One bag main compartment holds five pairs of pants, five pairs of long wools socks, five t-shirts, 5 underwear. And there is room for more if needed and the top (or side compartment depending on you angle) has another 25% for more. Tuck away 2 backpack shoulder straps and one long strap and you have regular center strap/handle to carry it by. YouTube it. It's pretty nice.

Best gear bag I've owned!! This thing is cavernous but well organized at the same time. To give you an idea of what it can hold, here is a list of items that fit in it and still with room to spare.- 2 fully loaded JPCs (3 magazines each, minimaps attached and filled with eye pro, gloves, face pro, and headwraps)- 1 helmet- 2 extra shooting glasses- 4 additional soft-sided mesh masks- 2 suppressors- 1 rifle scope- 2 ptts- 2 radios- 2 headsets- 2x 1 liter bladder with hose- 4 bags of bbs (3000+ count)- 2 empty chest-rigsOcassionally also a pdw sized M4.With better planning and organization, more can definitely fit in there. If you plan on going to a full-day airsoft game the gear bag will carry everything needed for 2 people (boots/shoes not included). The thing also has backpack straps that you can stow away when not needed, a sturdy shoulder strap and handles that can be velcroed together. The bottom has a "rubberized" texture and feet pads that are quite at ease on any surface. Love the darned thing and it just makes heading out that much easier, it's literally a grab and go bag and cuts down on my prep time. Highly recommend

My fishing tackle has grown over the years. Never sure what tackle I need until I get to the water. Often changes throughout the morning, afternoon and night.This bag accommodates everything I need in one bag. End section takes all bait, maggots, worms, bread etc: Main section takes everything else, including net and telescopic handle, flask, sandwiches and tackle and a collapsible chair.One side pocket takes bank sticks and alarms, the other side takes a rolled up unhooking mat.Not cheap, but better quality than anything the fishing brands make, probably cheaper than Fox, Nash etc too. Highly recommended.

Was well impressed when I received the article, but that was very short lived. After I had packed the bag with approximately 20 Kg of clothing on the way to the coach the shoulder -strap failed. The plastic clip on the shoulder strap snapped therefore left with a FULL bag and no shoulder strap???? I managed to get a length of rope and passed it through the shoulder-strap links. BUT very uncomfortable carrying the packed full bag. Rope cut into the shoulder????So not really impressed with the durability of the bag. Maybe the seller can arrange a stronger replacement shoulder strap?????

I got this bag hopping itll hold all my armour, not all my gear, just the armour and the pockets.Helmet fits fine, so does the body armour with pockets for mags for pistol x3, grenades x2, holster, light, trauma kit, radio, water, admin pouch, cat, and even a patch/card carrier, and 3x2 g36 mags, and 1x3 mags, for ak, stanag, hk, oh and 1x LMG mag, batonette.That fits, at a squeeze so does the battle belt with all the other stuff, 4x40mm grenades, 1x tall and 3x hand grenades, dump pouch, 3 misc pouches, and a second holster for issue side arm because I carry something else, call it a trophy weapon.But boots are a no-no as are sapi plates.If you're looking for a bag to hold bar guns it all if you're going "regulation" this isnt it.Its a good bag, and if you're a speedsofter it'll do you well, nice an sturdy, but sadly, its not big enough to replicate the needs of service personnel.

good size for my airsoft gear and padding on the back is good when used as a back pack and when full to the brim u do not feel like your arm is going to fall off as u can still carry close to your body thanks to a good handal
