Using this duffle bag is a breeze. Just unzip the top closure and start packing your items. You can use the outside zip pockets for things you need to access quickly, like your phone or keys. When carrying it, grab the double handles. To keep it in good shape, avoid overstuffing it as it might damage the canvas. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent any mold or mildew from forming.
