The Rothco Tactical Duffle (SKU 8136-BK) offers a convertible 2-in-1 design that standard military duffels lack—you can carry it traditionally with reinforced vinyl handles or convert it to a backpack using adjustable padded shoulder straps for hands-free transport during deployments or tactical operations. The 34" x 15" x 12" main compartment provides massive storage, while the waterproof bottom protects gear from wet environments. Three zippered outside pockets, an interior security pouch, and exterior ID holder deliver superior organization compared to basic single-compartment duffels.

Absolutely. With its extra-large 34" x 15" x 12" main compartment, this heavyweight cotton canvas duffle easily holds complete deployment kits including uniforms, boots, tactical vests, helmets, and personal equipment. The lashing gear rings and vinyl D-rings let you attach additional pouches or carabiners for overflow gear. First responders and law enforcement professionals use this bag for shift changes, multi-day operations, and emergency response deployments where durability and capacity are critical.

The waterproof vinyl bottom panel creates a moisture barrier when you set the bag down on wet surfaces—truck beds, muddy ground, boat decks, or rain-soaked tarmac. This prevents water from wicking up through the canvas and damaging sensitive gear like electronics, uniforms, or medical supplies. Combined with the rugged heavyweight canvas construction, the Rothco 8136-BK is built for harsh field conditions where standard duffels would fail.

The Rothco Tactical Duffle features adjustable padded shoulder straps specifically designed for heavy loads—not flimsy add-on straps. When you need to navigate stairs, climb into vehicles, or move quickly through facilities with your hands free, the backpack conversion distributes 40+ lbs of gear comfortably across your shoulders. The extra-long reinforced vinyl handles remain accessible for quick grabs, giving you tactical flexibility other convertible bags don't offer.

Yes. The dual-zippered main compartment is designed to accept standard padlocks or TSA-approved locks for secure transport during air travel, vehicle storage, or facility check-in. The locking capability, combined with the interior security pouch and exterior ID holder, makes this duffle ideal for government procurement scenarios where chain-of-custody and gear security are mandatory requirements.
