Solid wheels that roll well (even on grass)We'll built handle that feels it will last many years. Extremely spacious with one large exterior pocket and two interior zippered mesh storage areas. I used this for a trip and it handled the whole family's ski clothing from helmets,gloves, base layers, and it could fit boots if needed. Come spring I will load this up and take it for beach day at the lake. Plenty of room for towels, toys, snacks, and everything else that makes for a fun day in the sun. The wheels make this far easier to load up those heavier items and luggage around for serious adventure. Love the color too as it doesn't show dirt and will stay looking nice for a long time.
This wheeled duffle is fantastic. Can fit so much stuff. Has some smaller pockets for organization but overall just large capacity. The best feature has been the side clasps- if the duffle is not full, use the clasps to cinch it down. This allows to pack light going and bring home some extra goodies. Or opposite- pack a full bag and return with a lighter load. Wheels are sturdy and a smooth roll. The handle extends and compacts easily. It lays flat and compacts for easier stowing at home between trips. Overall for the price point- I have similar bags- twice the price for name brand- and this one still has features I don’t see on the name brand bags. Color says brown- has a red undertone.
This REI Big Haul 30” wheeled duffle is the absolute best and most versatile luggage you can own. We have taken this duffle on numerous cross country (2500+ mile) road trips and air travel as checked luggage. The duffle allows some creative packing and over packing to work. There are two cinch points internally and four points externally to really compress your load without compromising contents. Two external zip pockets (with a key leash) provide quick access to accessories. Additional storage is available in the lid where another two zip pockets are located. This duffle provides more storage than my 30” hard suitcase. The outside of the duffle will surprise you with its strength and durability. It is made with rugged DWR ripstop nylon on the main compartment with ballistic nylon ends. Thought has been integrated into the wheel and rolling design. We have rolled this duffle over roadways, rocks, cobblestones, dirt, mud, snow and puddles while on trips without issue. The heavy duty oversize wheels are incorporated into a very sturdy chassis. The substantial handle extends and retracts easily and resides inside aluminum tubing within a molded plastic tub, making the back of the duffle rigid for stability. There are sturdy web handles (including daisy chain lash points for gear) on the front, sides and top end as well as a metal structural bar at the bottom for easy handling. Dragging luggage out of the back of an SUV or off a luggage carrousel at an airport frustrates most of us. This duffle has made those tasks much easier. We have tested this duffle to what would be the limit for other bags and it has survived intact and looking great. I highly recommend for all your travels.
The REI Co Op Big Haul has an incredible amount of space! My wife and I fit all of our clothes, boots and shoes and toiletries in one bag eliminating the need for a second suitcase. The oversized wheels roll smoothly. I loved the small pocket at the front of the bag to keep our wallet and keys handy! This bag was perfect for our roadtrip to Redwest Fest and made packing so much easier! Highly recommended!
This large capacity duffel bag is very roomy with two separate outer pockets and two inner pockets inside the main bag. Light weight with a sturdy and hard shell bottom. High quality and durable material would make this the perfect gear bag. Especially nice to have the wheels and extendable handle for airports. Great for hauling gear, non-fragile items, road trips, sleepovers. When not in use is very slim and easy to store. Packed the bag for my kid’s sleepover and it fit everything including sleeping bag and pillow - and it was still super easy for them to manage! Only issue with the bag: it’s too large for airplane carry-on luggage and soft duffel sides and top could limit what items can be safely stored as checked luggage.
First off, the bag rolls like a Cadillac. The big sturdy wheels make this thing glide across the parking lots, sidewalks, welcome rugs, and elevator thresholds. Plenty of room inside to pack things in. Two internal pockets for various items and two external pockets for quick grab items like keys or a wallet. It might be helpful to purchase some packing cubes to keep things separated inside the bag if needed because the contents will shift. Other than that, nice quality, sturdy build.
Just what I needed to replace the heavier standard check-in luggage!

Oh man, love this bag. It was between this and the patagonia roller duffel. In the store, the REI one seemed better built. And I was also concerned about the reviews about the patagonia wheels bending outwards. Turns out my sister has one of those, and she was traveling with me. Sure enough, the wheels were badly bent. I took it on a 3 week trip to Europe. Needed to fit stuff for 2 weeks of hiking and trial running. And also for a 1 week vacation in Italy. So much room. Easy to keep things separated between my 2 trips. 1 week in the chamonix valley at 2 different spots, lots of wheeling around. Then a week in switzerland. And finally lots of wheeling on cobbles in Italy. So easy to wheel around, and really glad I didn't go with a shoulder strap big duffle. Bag held up great through being checked several times. Fabric seems to resist wear really well. Only regret is I didn't get this bag years ago.
