Mountain Hardwear Expedition Duffel Bag - 3000 - 8000cu in
Can't take off straps --- bad design oversight

I bought this for travel on airlines. The straps are not removeable-- so when you check it in at the airport they put the duffle in a huge plastic bag so straps don't get caught in loading equipment or baggage claim. Not very eco friendly (which mountain hardwear totes this bag as) and not a very convenient way to carry your luggage. So, back to the drawing board-- if they redesign this with removeable or stashable straps, it would be a 5-star.

I Disagree, If this bag doesn't work for you it doesn't work for you. If you want a bag with removable straps you should have researched another brand rather than give this a poor rating based on your own personal situation. This isn't necessarily luggage. It's a carry all for gear.
