Rightline GearDuffle Bag, Black, Black, Duffle Bag

We have 2 of these and have put them to great use so far in rainy conditions. We put our clothes and camping bedding in them and strap them to the roof rack, and no leaks or issues at all! We even have left one just outside our tent with extra shoes/clothes that don't need to be in the tent with us overnight. Extra benefit: after a particularly dusty drive home once, we just hosed them down in the backyard to get all the dirt off before bringing them inside to unpack.

This bag spent three weeks strapped down on my Jeep’s rack during a tent camping trip thru Southern Utah hitting Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches NPs.The outside of this bag was completely covered with dust and dirt but my clothes inside were clean (well, the ones not being worn). There is a strip of Velcro between the outside air that did a pretty good job of keeping the zippers clean so they didn’t jam up to hard. The main zipper doesn’t feel waterproof, but I imagine the Velcro would stop flowing water...to an extent. I don’t think it would survive a full on submersion event, but it would definitely hold up for a while.The bag was rained on with a couple light rainstorms, but nothing too heavy. When I got home, a rinse off with a garden hose and it cleaned up just fine. It did a great job, survived some abuse, scuffed but no rips or holes. The rubberized material massively softens under sun, so check the tension on your lashings.

I'm not one to usually leave a bad review, but this bag did not hold up in the rain for me. I originally bought it for an upcoming camping trip and was hoping to strap it to my Jeep's roof rack. I luckily made sure to do a test run with it one day when it rained. I made sure all sections of the velcro was secured to the strips and the bag was properly closed. I left it outside for an hour and came back to finding my tested clothes inside completely soaked. My guess was the velcro and zippers didn't exactly stop the water from coming in. The walls of the bag seemed to stop the water at least.I gave it two stars overall because the bag does have a huge amount of space to fit gear/firewood which is what I originally wanted. The waterproof would have been a nice bonus. I just have to make sure I use it on non-rainy days or flip the bag over and strap it upside down to protect the zippers/velcro from letting the water in.

I put my children in this to get some peace and quite. It’s that big.

Road my motorcycle on a 3000 mile journey with this bag strapped to the luggage rack and sissy bar. The second day was 10 hours of what the news called a torrential downpour. This bag kept all of my things nice and dry the whole trip. Not one drop of water in the bag.
