ABSTRACT:
An improved tube shape duffle-type travel or sports bag features an oblong, softsided, expansible central compartment having access through the top thereof, and smaller end compartments on each on the opposing ends of the oblong central compartment. The opposing compartments have circumferential slide fastener openings therearound and has an expansible wall constructed in connection and cooperation with one end wall of the main central compartment providing a collapsible pocket, preferably made of waterproof material, which is capable of extending into the main and end compartments and expanding therein as desired, preferably for positioning soiled or wet clothing or assessories therein. The central compartment further includes opposed tubular expansion panels positioned between the ends of the central sidewall panel and the respective end panels of that compartment. Each expansion panel is accordion or back folded into a horizontally compressed position and is retained in that position by a circumferential slide fastener. Slide fastening the fastener allows the expansion panel to be extended to full length, thus expanding the main compartment. A four-point mounting on the bag carries both side handles and a shoulder strap.
