Hunt anything
AH legend
At $500 plus bucks, the only way I could justify that was if I traveled a hell of a lot more than I do now. ( the pelican 1615 air)
DLSJR: I have No doubt it can hold plenty and is also very secure (Bombproof). I like hard cases for travel with some items (firearms, scopes, camera etc..) but for clothing and other gear - a Canvas type “soft side” sturdy bag that you can compress a little seems easier and can “jam it” into tighter, smaller areas of my car or Otter Plane etc.. But, you’ve had experienced and success with that bag and obviously know what your doingHank, it actually works very well for ‘dragging around’. It has a pull out handle and wheels, so is very easy to drag around. To me, one of the biggest advantages besides being nearly indestructible is NO zippers but rather a hinged kid with five latches and TWO steel reinforced locking points. It’s big enough to hold 50+ pounds of clothing & gear but small enough to handle easily. It’s no problem at all on a Cessna Caravan, which is probably the most common bush plane used across Africa. I just got back from taking it to Cameroon and it was easy to travel with.
correct, the reason airlines dont like duffels is the straps. wrap them in plastic or but one without straps as I did and its no problemWe travel on a regular basis in and out of joburg with duffles, but we have them plastic wrapped, no problem,

V.V: that “rule” would eliminate All Canvas (soft sided) luggage - they have No ridged sides and barely a “stiff” bottom. Is this airline specific?
Is correct. I saw something on one of the airlines req's, requirements, changes, whatever..... that duffle bags, packs, etc. must have one rigid side and all loose straps must be secured as to not snag on conveyors or some sort of wording.Not good for flying anymore.
Airlines will not accept them. Need to have at least one rigid side and nothing hanging to get caught in the conveyor belts.
What are the dimensions?Hank, it actually works very well for ‘dragging around’. It has a pull out handle and wheels, so is very easy to drag around.

Exterior (L×W×D)What are the dimensions?
That looks like a very nice piece of luggage.
Hince, when I travel I always like to go souvenir shopping for myself and others back home. I think if the size was right this would be a lot more secure and better protect those fragile items I usually reserve for my carry on which limits several items I want to bring back.
