Comment on Outdoor Products Mountain Duffel by Glibzorbnik

Got two bags for a recent 6-day trip to Walt Disney World. Since check-in luggage is now $15 per bag, we decided to get 2 large duffel bags for 2 adults and 2 youth. A plastic clip on the shoulder strap of one bag broke on the trip down; very inconvenient. On the way back the second bag got a nice slash, presumably from some baggage handling equipment, that penetrated the bag and cut deep into a nice down-filled coat.

Next time we’ll get luggage with heavier fabric and wheels.

Great size, with good design. Seams could use to be stronger. used it for about 5 flights and one of the corner seams is comming loose already. Compartment on bottom is a bit small to hold a pair of shoes. Other than that and the seams, I would still reccomend this bag.

I just received this bag and have not yet used it on a trip. I wanted to write this review now to correct a significant error in the description of the bag at the Amazon website. The bag is described as having a lifetime warranty. That is not true. When I received the bag, the tag from Outdoor Products clearly states the bag has a 3-year warranty, not a lifetime one. The lifetime warranty was one of the main reasons for me purchasing the bag, as I do a lot of international plane traveling, where luggage is not treated in the most gentle manner.

I have a trip coming up that will include 6 flight legs, and when I return, I'll try to update this review with how the bag performed in actual use.

Update August 6, 2010:
Regarding the warranty, I spoke to the vendor who said that the warranty is indeed a 3-year warranty, not a lifetime one as advertised. They told me they were in the process of changing the information in the description of the bag on the Amazon website, but as of today it still says the misleading 'Lifetime Warranty'. Beware if this is important to you.

I just returned from a trip that required 7 flight legs, and the bag seemed to perform very well, and came through unscathed. The two separate compartments makes it very convenient to separate luggage contents without having to dig down through a single deep duffel. Rating: 4 / 5

I own the “large” size Mountain Duffle Bag. It’s super lightweight, and made from 900 denier poly nylon so seems like a good value for the price. It comes inside of a small travel pouch that doubles as a mess or toiletry tote that would easily hold large shampoo bottles, etc. The duffle has a large “U” shaped top opening for easy packing, two large zippered end panel pockets, front side pocket, rip-grip carry handle, adjustable shoulder strap and two end straps. This duffel comes in small, medium, large and extra large, so be sure to pick the one that will work best for you. My “large” duffle is 30 inches long, 15 inches high and 15 inches deep. Comes with a lifetime warranty against defects.

I love this product and use it for all of my bill information/checkbook etc. It is sturdy enough, but not too heavy like the fireproof safes. It is good for keeping the kid’s curiousity at bay.

I bought this for my daughter who was keeping her important documents in a envelope. I’ve had one for years and like the fact that it is fireproof and has sturdy construction with a decent lock.

Comment on Coleman Road Trip Accessory Wheeled Carry Case by Johny Appleseed

I just received my Coleman Road Trip Carry Case for my 9949-750 Road Trip Grill LXE; it was received very quickly but without any instruction on how to pack the grill in it. After some trial and error I found that first I had to shorten the handle/foot of the grill by pushing a release button located on the lower side of the handle/foot; then with the grill still in it’s extended position, set the grill in the bag then collapse it into the bag working the bag around the grill. The pockets located in the bottom are actually quite roomy despite some of the other comments that I have read here, I am storing a set of cast iron grills on one side and a set of griddles on the other side and by set I mean two each. The out side pocket is very accomodating for the Coleman cover we bought for the stove between use while set up. Hopefully the bag will stretch some to allow packing and unpacking a little easier. I think it will serve it’s purpose as a means of transporting in the back of my pick-up.

I work in a furniture factory. Between the Smart Tool and the Bosch Protractor, we measure all angles digitally now. Quality and precision are way up. I bet we have 20 of them in the factory now. Tool and fixture makers, engineers and quality control all use them. Why be pretty close when you can be right on.

I purchased 2 of these grates to go on my new RoadTrip grill to take camping. They worked out perfectly!! I used them for “quickly” boiling a big pan of water for corn and for hot dish water and I used two at a time with my beloved Pampered Chef double griddle (I just covered the handles with aluminum foil). For anyone who wants to use the RoadTrip for more than a grill, this is a must have! They are also fairly lightweight and pack away nicely.

Purchased for trip to Eastern Europe, they tell you to pack light and secure. This bad did very well, packs easy, rolls great and has solid locks (needed for any trip overseas). I would endorse its use and purchase the bonus is it looks great as well!
