Mercury Tactical Gear Code Alpha Mini Monster Wheeled Deployment Bag, Basic, Black

Great for military moves, holds a lot, although the wheels like to cripple but still roll

I used this as a Dive bag and have NOT been kind or gentle with it. Took it to Philippines and grand Caymen. it's been thrown around put away wet and abused. it's held up well no issues with wheels or anything like some reported. Only comment is that zip on bag is just asking for trouble if you plan to check it as luggage, it will rip off

I'm particular about my luggage/travel bags. Really particular. After weekend traveling just twice with Code Alpha, I know this is going to be the go-to traveler for me. The bag is big. It's probably bigger then what you picture as a big bag. I drive from Pittsburgh to the Erie Penninsula once a week. This bag is big enough for a weekend's worth of everything I want to take. Erie winters require down-coats, insulated boots, multiple snow pants, sweaters. I don't have to take multiple bags, everything fits with space left over. Empty or full , it doesn't lose its form. The sides and top don't collapse down. You can see everything in it at once without propping up the sides. it's really well constructed. Zippers are rugged. Impressed that there are three wheels, not just two. Nothing about it says "junk". I'm 6'2". I don't have to bend over at all to wheel it on its side. There is a lower second handle on the right side to hold while wheeling. I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a really big carrier. I would buy it again but I don't foresee it wearing out.

Really nice bag. Good quality. Big. So first thing is I got this bag to be the sole luggage piece for a family of four. It definitely does the trick. The feature that attracted me to this bag is the three wheel design. It works marvelously. Be advised that this bag is huge. Mini it is not. This bag is on the bleeding edge of crossing the size restrictions of most major airlines in the USA. Get a nervous attendant checking bags on a discount carrier and you might be over the mandated 62 linear inches when the bag is fully loaded. This is true even though the bag's stated dimensions total less than 62 linear inches. At the time of this writing, the dimensions stated on Amazon are incorrect. The long edge is 31" not 33" as indicated. I attached a photo of the tag on the bag and also verified the actual dimensions myself with a tape measure. This bag is also quite heavy weighing almost 10 lbs itself. While it offers extra room compared to my previous bags, I am unable to fill it up to the brim with our family's clothes, shoes and toiletries without crossing 50 lbs. Expect some unused room in the bag to keep it under 50 lbs. Also, invest in a good scale so you can be sure you're not on the high side of fifty when you get to the airport. I was stoked to find that the center divider, while not fully removable, is attached by Velcro on one side. You can collapse it down if you'd like. Others mentioned that a telescoping handle would be nice, as the bag lacks this. I agree. Others also mentioned that it would be nice if the bag easily sat upright, as is only rests on its long bottom. I also agree. I am exactly 6' tall and had no issues with it hitting my heels while I was pulling it around the airport. The time this it most frustrating is when you're traversing the line to the bag drop as you'll have to keep bending down to pick is up as you move through the line. So far I have taken one trip with it and think I like it. The value of this particular piece is very high. Try it out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I wanted to love this product. I really did. I needed a bigger bag to be the bag of excess capacity on family trips. I was hoping this would fit the bill given the type of luggage it is and its reviews. It is better designed than many bags of its type, the casters are good and the wheel base is better than most, (so there is less of that annoying spinning off of wheel base that wrenches your arm and forces you to essentially bring the bag to heel like a learning puppy.) However the bag's zipper failed catastrophically, the tines actually broke in the middle of the zipper, on our first trip with the bag. The zipper could not be used at all. The bag was was not over stuffed and not abused on a flight but in a stack of luggage on a train in Europe when it happened. The bag's zipper was reviewed favorably here but mine failed right on my first use of it, on the fourth day of our 17 day trip. I had to wrap the entire bag in duct tape for the rest of the trip. The wheel base is also too wide to get through turnstiles in Europe conveniently.

FANTASTIC bag for my 11 y/o son to take to sleep-away camp. He was gone for 2-weeks and was able to fit almost everything he needed in this bag (he put a couple of items in a backpack, which he had to bring to camp anyway.) The wheels made it very easy to move around. The bag also fit the airline's size requirements so we were able to check it without paying an over-sized bag fee. (However, we did take a few things out and put them in my suitcase just so we wouldn't go over the baggage weight limit). ... We used this bag again for a family vacation and I was able to put all 3 of my kids clothing in this 1 bag, which was so much nicer than bringing a suitcase for each of them.

I purchased this bag because I am a YouTube explorer and I do extensive traveling for the videos I produce. I needed a back that not only would fit two days worth of clothes but also provide room for my camera equipment. I also really didn't want to have to buy another one if for some reason the bag failed on a trip. I've used this bag on my last four trips and also its big, it works well and is extremely durable. I don't use it for flights, because that's not the kind of travel I do, for me its all road trips and staying at historic places without elevators! That means its gets bumped around a lot going up and down stairs. The stitching, fabric, straps and rolling hardware are all 5 star quality.
