The Rothco Tactical Defender Duffle Bag keeps boots, helmets and other gear apart from your clothes on an extended trip. An expandable gear compartment holds the items you want kept separate, while two zip-up dividers with hard plastic inserts organize the 28 x 14 x 10 inch main compartment. When the load gets heavy, two hidden adjustable backpack straps convert the duffle to a backpack in seconds.

Why it works:

  • Boots stay away from clothes: Footwear and tactical helmets ride apart from the main compartment, in an expandable gear compartment built for items you want separate.
  • The main pocket, organized: Divide the main space as the trip demands, with two zip-up internal dividers with hard plastic inserts and two tie-down straps with quick release buckles.
  • Hands-free for heavy loads: Two hidden adjustable backpack straps convert it to a backpack, and handles on top, front and back plus a removable shoulder strap cover every other way to lift it.
  • Protection underneath: The contents are guarded from below by a waterproof PVC reinforced bottom.
  • Small items sorted outside: Two mesh zippered pouches in the top cover, a zippered pouch on each side and a front zippered pouch hold smaller items, and the bag is MOLLE compatible.

For travelers on an extended trip who want every item organized and their boots and gear kept apart from their clothes.
