It is plain and simple with no breakable parts like zippers, wheels, snaps, or buttons and built with as few seams as possible because seams are where all duffle bags start falling apart. Therefore, there are only two really big pieces of leather with a solid piece sewn on each end of this travel bag. And we sew the leather at only 5 stitches per inch, so there's more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear. I designed it to be versatile. Buckled smaller at the first hole to be smaller or expanded way out jam-packed, buckled at the last hole. The dimensions are ideal to be able to fill it up and be around a 50 lb. limit. You could fit a dead body in it, like a deer or wild hog or something. This beast of a leather duffle bag is for big travel where a lesser man's luggage just won't do. I know you could get one with wheels (that will soon break), but why? Get this and add a little exercise to your day. Seriously, don't be afraid of using your muscles. It's good for you.
---Cows are waterproof, right? It's because the top part of their hide has tightly woven together fibers. So the skin still has all of the grain (Full Grain Leather). No scars have been shaved or sanded off to leave only a little bit of the grain there (Top Grain Leather). Therefore, it's the strongest cow leather there is, and that's what we use. And we use thick full-grain. It's then lined with pigskin, which is tougher than cowskin. This pigskin lining adds incredible strength combined with the cowskin. Our custom 316 Stainless Steel hardware is amazing (please, please google it). It's the metal of choice when your life depends on it. The thread is strangely strong industrial marine grade UV resistant polyester thread. And thick. No other leather duffle bag will last as long as this one.
---We design and make our leather duffle bags to last. From the quality material to the craftsmanship, we put our best into everything we make. So if you are looking for a leather overnight bag with an adjustable shoulder strap, a leather weekender bag, or a large duffle bag like this one, we make them. Not good quality, but great quality travel bags are from Saddleback Leather Co. You will feel fulfilled carrying our high quality leather bags.
Now that I've had this "BEAST" for a few years i can speak from experience on the various uses I've put the bag trough. I used it as an organizer for the trunk of my car, packed a full-blown first aid trauma kit including AED in it for special events I work, and currently using this as a travel duffel bag. The pictures of this bag do not do it justice. You need to take out a tape ruler and layout the dimensions on the floor to get a good idea of the size and even that won't prepare you for the actual size and weight of the bag. Once you start loading it up with gear you may need two people to carry it! Great bag but careful of the size and weight after packing. . .this thing is huge!

I love my Saddleback products. iPhone, iPad, satchel, classic briefcase, utility duffel, waterbag and yes the Beast duffle. There is no better value in leather products anywhere. That said, over the last year i just haven't found a good use for the bag. Life is cyclical, my needs may change, I might start using a smaller tripod and who knows? Dave cautions potential buyers that it's big. A week of casual clothing will fit in the duffle. Two weeks of groceries will fit in the waterbag, Be mindful, the waterbag can fit far more than a grown man can carry. The Beast is beautiful. If you travel with a large volume of clothing, this would be a great bag. Perfect for a couple or for conferences that require formal wear. For me, two weeks in Scotland with winter gear is my most likely use. Enjoy it, just understand this may not be an "everyday/every use" bag.

Wife, daughter and myself recently went on a Mexican coast trip. We had just purchased the beast Duffle bag a few months back. We put the Beast to the test, on the way back from vacation. The bag with our clothing and all the extra shirts for family members and other miscellaneous items we bought while on vacation were in the bag. When we checked in at the airline the bag weighed in at 38 kilograms about 84 lbs. The bag did not break a sweat, carrying the bag in backpack style was a plus. While waiting in line to check in I would lift the bag with the side strap because it was too heavy to carry it the whole time while waiting in the check in line, the side strap handled the weight very well. I would definitely recommend the Beast duffle bag. My wife and I are very pleased we bought the Beast Duffle bag. This wasn't our first purchase from Saddleback, we love all our products but the Beast is a must have for families who travel.

I got this as a high school graduation present, along with the dopp kit, and took them along with me to South Africa and Tanzania over the summer. A month long trip and The Beast didn't let me down, carried all my gear for climbing Kilimanjaro and Safari, and even weighed less than the bags that my grandparents packed. I love this thing to death and take it out whenever I get the chance. Well worth the investment if you're planning on taking long trips out of country, or if you want to sneak a lion cub or two back into the states (they'd fit with room to spare). Not to mention the coffee color is absolutely gorgeous.
