I bought the matching frogskin tote earlier this year and if the two the tote is superior. I really hoped the duffle would be as amazing as the tote and it is very good but there are a couple small things keeping it from being near perfect. I took this on a work trip this week as a checked bag that I could also carry on if I wanted and paired with a backpack I thought it would be a great combo. As a 6' man I find the handle straps ridiculously long. It comes close to hitting the ground and the bottom of the bag is at my ankles. I thought the longer handles might allow me to swing the strap over my shoulder but that's a bit tight as well. In the end the strap length is confusing and there is no way to really stow them when in back pack mode. I like the material and I will relegate it to road trip use where the straps are less important. If I could return it I would think about it and if you're torn between the duffle and the tote, get the tote!
