A big, single compartment bag for carrying heavy loads. Tough, simple, effective, and above all cheap!

The carry handles wrap around the bag adding strength. Most bags have an adjustable shoulder strap and a small zippered pocket inside. The zipper shield has a velcro base for name tags. The bags close with a zipper, which is covered with a velcro flap. The zipper features a ratchet lock preventing it from opening on its own, and it unlocks automatically as you pull the tab.

The bottom has a plastic stiffener to keep the bag in shape and protect whatever is inside. It's screwed on with six metal pads on the outside to protect the bag from abrasion - and allows you to slide it across the floor.

Some might have markings made by the previous owner, such as names (yes, despite the name tag velcro) and morale-boosting slogans. The latter might not be profane, but they will be in German, so they definitely appear as such.
