The military duffle (duffel) bag was probably the most successful bag every made. The original Mini Duffle is made from actual retired US military duel bags, but now you they are available in a variety of colors. Also new to the design is a draw-string liner.

A common comment I hear is “it’s made of fire hose it must be waterproof.” Well, not necessarily. There are basically two types of fire hose; single-jacket and double-jacket. Fire hose is similar to very heavy canvas but is woven in a spiral making it round instead of flat like a typical fabric. A single-jacket fire hose is lined with rubber of a flexible plastic which makes them waterproof. On a double-jacket fire hose only the inner hose is lined with rubber or plastic. The outer jacket of a double-jacket hose is what we use for most of our products, not only because it’s more flexible but it also shows the marks and character of used fire hose. Our trash cans are great examples of how we use single-jacket hose. The more ridged hose is perfect to hold the shape of the trash cans.
