Using this duffle bag is a breeze. Unzip the top closure to load your belongings. You can use the outside zip pockets for items you need quick access to, like your phone or keys. When carrying it, grab the double handles for a comfortable hold. As for care, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid tears in the canvas. If it gets dirty, you can spot clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent mold or mildew.
