All bags work and work well if they are cared for properly. Just taking care of the bag and having it serviced isn't enough. You need to do something more to make sure this happens.
Have you ever seen those bags with the handles hanging off the side? That is an example of a bag that will not last very long because the materials are not very durable. Another example of a bag that is not very durable is a nylon duffel bag with long handles that don't zip up. This kind of bag is not very functional at all because the zip is always falling off.
The zipper on a nylon duffel bag is made to last. This is very important to know because if you lose your bag, you need to be able to find it in a hurry. The zippers on nylon duffel bags are normally zip up, pull over, and side zipper, so you can't lose your bag. They are also made from nylon so they are going to last as long as possible.
However, not all nylon duffel bags with handles are going to last. Here are some things that you need to look for in a bag to ensure that you will get a long lasting bag.
First of all, the bag should have double stitching. This means that it should be made with sturdy double stitching, and not just regular single stitching.
Secondly, the bag should have handles that are comfortable to use. The ones that are comfortable to use are the kinds that have clips. The ones that don't have clips are the ones that just have a handle, no clips, or buckles.
Thirdly, the bag should be made of nylon. Some people say that nylon is not very durable, but that is not the case with nylon duffel bags. Since this is a natural material, it will be less likely to tear on you. If the bag is going to be put through a lot of movements, and things, that might pull the bag apart, nylon is the better material to use.
Above you learned about nylon, which is very strong and durable. A buckles or clips are not as reliable, they will probably break or fall off. If you are going to have to carry this bag around a lot, or you have a backpack courier, or you are a student, nylon is the better material to use.
The last thing to consider is the weight of the bag. This is very important because, as we have already learned, anything that is heavy has a lot of trouble carrying it around. If you have a backpack, that will be a lot of trouble, if you have a heavy purse. That is why you have to use the best lightweight bag available. This way you can have your bag where you need it and you don't worry about it being uncomfortable.
