Yesteryear I bought a large nylon duffel from Cabelas called the Ripcord.
It is OK, but has no stiffeners on the base, and just a straight zipper on top.
I just received my new Overland Journal Gear issue Friday.
Vehicle-Dependent Expedition Magazine: Overland Journal
The Gear issue is chalk full of cool stuff for camping/overlanding/expedition type stuff.
Well any issue is, but this one focuses a little more on the subject.
Inside the new issue is a good article on duffel bags.
I found a good one made in the USA called Bad Bags.
BAD BAGS Adventure and Travel Luggage - The Best American Duffel Made
The one that was reviewed has the horseshoe type zipper on top allowing you to access the contents of your duffel much better than a traditional straight zipper.
Has anyone heard of this company?
I think I am going to order one from them.
These are the design I am looking at, just a carry one.
I do not need one with wheels on it.
BAD BAGS, Inc
I will have to measure my current one, and pick one from this outfit just a tad smaller.
I found the large Ripcord one to be just a little to big for my needs, even for packing for one week I still had a lot of extra room left over.
The Bad Bags design I am looking at also have compression straps on it.
It received a very good review in the Journal.
