Bought it as an emergency checked bag, and very glad I did
"We bought more souvenirs than we expected, so we put those in my carry-on, and put all my dirty clothes in this duffel bag and checked it. It arrived in excellent shape despite the tags on it being kind of mangled, so I think it did well even while being roughed up by the airline baggage handlers. This had the added benefit of being able to throw it in the laundry with my dirty clothes and having it come out good as new to re-pack into its pocket."
