Its looks stunning profesinoal and very useful.

The FTL Max

Amazing bag! Can't wait to start traveling with it!

The FTL Max

Love the quality of this bag. Sleek, sporty and just minimal. Will buy again and again if they come up with bigger sizes

The FTL Max

This bag is elite! I travel often and my shoes would take up so much space in my suitcase. The shoe slot portion is such a space saver!! Keep up the great work friends!

The FTL Max

The perfect bag, look no further! Never thought I'd be in love with a weekender bag. Travel is effortless with this thing--perfect design!!

The FTL Max

Haven’t actually used it, but it’s packed for my next trip and I’m already impressed with the FTL Max.

Store owner replied: We love to hear that

Customer video review of The FTL Max

Love it! Already got a compliment on the bag saying "how much was that was it $500 dollars." The quality of this bag is amazing and truly feels like luxury without breaking the bank! I went with another company that was cheaper originally but then I thought to myself, we are always using duffle bags mine as well splurge on a quality bag! Good work to the founder and the team!

The FTL Max

My husband loves this bag. He is a firefighter with Houston fire department and also with Community fire department. He likes it so much I ordered more than one and in two different sizes. I liked it too and got me one as well. I have been looking for a water resistant bag. And this is a great bag. So glad I found y’all.

The FTL Max

Is a very nice and practical bag. Like it.

The FTL Max

Thank you so much to the FTL team for the support and the great product!

The FTL Max

Love the bag- great quality and nice embroidery. The shipping takes a very long time, I would order about one month before you need it. Shipping at checkout was inaccurate for me, but the bag is/was worth the wait!

The FTL Max

Very long time to get the bag. It was longer than the time intended when I ordered. I had to email to get it, but once I got it, it has been amazing.

The FTL Max

Just used it on my first overnight trip since I received it and was easily able to fit work clothes, dress shoes, workout clothes, toiletries and my laptop/charger. This all fit in the bag and bag fit under the seat as advertised. Incredibly happy with this purchase!

The FTL Max

Received my FTL Pro earlier today and it exceeds all expectations for a professional business travel bag. I travel frequently for business and have used garment duffel bags, backpacks, carry on rollers and briefcases. With this bag I now have the perfect 3-5 day travel bag that will allow me to pack efficiently for all possible functions. I will NEVER be forced to check a bag again. Looking forward to additional products in the near future. FTL builds bags that rival the quality of every major bag/luggage brand that charge 5-10x the price. Buy one, you will not be disappointed.

The FTL Max

Delivery was fast and bag is in perfect condition, much appreciated!

The FTL Max

Excellent customer service! Even though my order arrived later than expected, the owners were very responsive to my inquiries and worked really hard to get the bag to me before an upcoming trip. I emailed and had a call with them and they went above and beyond to try to expedite my order. It ultimately arrived just in time for my trip. The bag is great, it’s attractive, spacious and feels of great quality.

The FTL Max

My son loves the FTL bag. It’s perfect for his travel days and long weekend trips. Great quality product and excellent customer service. We will definitely be making a future purchase.

The FTL Max

Love the Max how ever love the packing style of the pro a bit more

Customer photo review of The FTL Max

Amazing quality and all around awesome bag. So far I’ve used it up and down the east coast for overnight trips, long weekends and was the perfect carry on for my recent trip to Alaska. Super high quality! Great bag and even better customer service! 20 out of 10 recommend.

The FTL Max

I bought this bag for 2–3 day business trips and had been looking for something with a dedicated shoe compartment. I’ve now used the FTL bag on three short trips, and it’s worked perfectly. The shoe compartment has been my favorite feature so far, and the bag itself looks incredible—I’ve already received a ton of compliments. The strap, zippers, and materials all feel very high quality. The laptop compartment is a nice addition, though it does push slightly into the main compartment. I chose the larger open compartment (instead of the garment bag style) and really prefer it. I’m able to fit my laptop and files, a pair of dress shoes, flip flops, a toiletry bag, and three packing cubes without any problem. Overall, it’s a really solid bag. I’m loving it so far and would definitely recommend it

The FTL Max

overall great bag. could be slightly larger. when shoes are in the compartment, takes up valuable space. overall great bag and will get plenty of use.

The FTL Max

Have not traveled with it yet. But great quality

The FTL Max

Awesome bag. I just used it on a vacation and it perfectly complimented my larger roller. They optimized it so it fits perfectly under the airplane seat, but it still fits so much stuff. The finish is also really cool, it's not leather, but it doesn't have a cheap pleather feel. It's smooth and luxurious. We'll see how it holds up over time, but I'm confident this will be a staple for all of my travel in the future. The green color is also a perfect match for my other green luggage.

The FTL Max

Excellent product. My new carry on weekender bag

The FTL Max

Amazing bag! Fits a ton, very versatile, pairs well with a carry on as a personal item. Lots of compliments too!

The FTL Max

Super high quality bag and very well designed.

The FTL Max

Fits my needs

Perfect carry on bag to add to your luggage

Store owner replied: <3

I really like the bag. It is substantial and fit nicely under the seat in front of me. With a carry-on and personal item I was able to travel with a full week worth of clothes without having to check anything. The only issue I had was the little snap that holds the handles together failed early on. It is bothersome because with out it, the handles flop around and are a nuisance. Otherwise, this is a great product.

Haven't broken it in on a trip yet, but I love the form and quality of the bag. I will put it through its paces here in the next month as I travel near and far. More to follow.

The FTL Max

Beautiful bag but I find the small fabric pocket with the zipper on top to be too small and when bag is packed this pocket becomes kinda useless. Also the bag gets a little unbalanced when a laptop is in side sleeve holder. Do like it other than that. Thank you!!

The FTL Max

The bag is nice. I’ve made on trip with it and found that while it does technically fit under the seat, it extends into your feet area significantly. Also a little trouble getting it off the handle of my other carry on.

The FTL Max

Bag is too small especially when a pair of shoes is added. Not the bag for me.

Customer photo review of The FTL Max

I have only had the bag for about 3 weeks and the green material is already peeling off like a cheap coating. Very dissapointing considering the bag is $300.

The FTL Max

I do not like the feel of the bag and it is not roomy like I thought from watching the video.
