Quick Overview

The Rothco Canvas Equipment Bag is a 22 oz heavyweight cotton canvas duffle for the gym, a workday with spare tools or a weekend trip, offered in a 19" size with 22 liters or a 24" size with 45 liters. It ships empty.

The bag is naturally water-resistant 22 oz heavyweight 100% cotton canvas, with military-styled print details on the front and contrasting color stitching. A full-length two-way zipper with a yellow web pull strap opens the main compartment, and 3 external zipper pockets hold a phone, wallet and keys. Dual carry handles with reinforced cross-stitching, a drag handle on the end and a removable adjustable shoulder strap cover the carry.

The 19" size measures 19" x 9.5" with 22 liters, and the 24" size measures 24" x 12" with 45 liters. The shoulder strap extends up to 56 inches and detaches at 2 metal clips. Black, Earth Brown, Navy Blue, Olive Drab and Woodland Camo each come in both sizes, as items 22334 to 22338 in 19" and items 2351, 2354, 23515, 23540 and 23541 in 24".

Before each use, run the main zipper and all 3 pocket zippers and check the handle cross-stitching and the 2 metal clips on the strap. After use, empty the bag, let the canvas dry fully, and store it with the strap unclipped in your car or a larger bag.

Field Application Steps

1. INSPECT ON ARRIVAL: Confirm the bag and the detachable adjustable shoulder strap are in the box, and that the size and color match your order. Run the main two-way zipper and the 3 external pocket zippers end to end. The bag ships empty.

2. PLAN THE LOADOUT: Match the load to the size. Gym clothes and small sports gear suit the 19" bag at 22 liters, and a weekend of clothes or spare tools suits the 24" bag at 45 liters. Set phone, wallet and keys aside for the pockets.

3. PACK HEAVY ITEMS LOW: Open the full-length two-way zipper by its yellow web pull strap and lay heavier items, such as spare tools, along the bottom. Pack clothing on top and keep the load to what closes without strain.

4. LOAD POCKETS AND CLOSE: Put phone, wallet and keys in the 3 external zipper pockets, using the leather pull straps on the front and back pockets. Close every zipper fully without forcing it over the contents.

5. CARRY TO SUIT THE LOAD: Lift the bag by the dual carry handles or pull it by the drag handle on the end. For shoulder carry, clip on the adjustable shoulder strap at its 2 metal clips and set its length, up to 56 inches.

6. STAGE IT: Stage the packed bag where you will pick it up, such as the car trunk, the gym or the shop. Unclip the strap at its 2 metal clips to tuck the duffle into your car or a larger bag.

7. UNPACK AFTER USE: Empty the main compartment and all 3 pockets after each trip or workday. Take out damp clothing and tools promptly so they do not sit in the canvas.

8. CLEAN AND STORE: Brush out debris, let the canvas air dry fully, and follow any care label on the bag for cleaning. Store it dry with the zippers closed and the strap kept with the bag.
