Split Roller 110L Gear Bag

Smaller than advertised

I just received the 110L split bag and am a bit disappointed. I like the look of the bag and it seems well made. The organization is nice, as are the support flaps. The real issue is that it's smaller than advertised. The bag is 31 inches tall on the exterior, not 32. The inside is 30 inches so you cannot fit a standard 4-piece fishing rod (31") straight, you need to angle it. You can force it in straight but it will not drop into the bag, it just gets trapped above the plastic pan and floats. See images of the rod and measurement of the bag.

An absolute tank.

I'm so stoked with this bag. It feels super sturdy (including the wheels and handle), and the exterior handles are in the right places. The compartments are generous and I still think it's insane that it'll hold a helmet in the top section- while having the big compartment storage as well. Love the fact that it has a non-mesh side to the top for shoes or dirty laundry. The material feels durable and the extra clips give me a little more faith than usual in the zipper. I travel quite a bit as a videographer and I couldn't be happier with the space it has. I've been using a military rolling bag for the past few years, but they don't have a telescoping handle. You'd be surprised how much of a difference that makes when you have to walk any distance with the bag fully loaded. Plenty of room for a week's worth of clothes and extras.

It’s a great bag,

Great bag, bought it to replace my old one that lasted 15 years, but it doesn’t look as resistant as the old one, I used it once and the side is already all wavy

I bought this, anticipating a trip where I would need a number of accessories. The suitcase was perfect. Easy to handle. Terrific design of compartments. Sturdy. I could not be happier.
