I have owned 3 of these bags since the early 80ʻs they are well built and stand up to much abuse and can handle heavy weightOne bag has seen well over a million miles of air travel. The velcro however does wear out after a bit.

Yes the straps are sturdy, the stitching is very good.I used this 2x in my international flight already being that we are only allowed 50 lbs anymore, using this bags allows me to fit in whatever presents my nieces and nephews wanted me to bring them. Very good buy. I am buying more because my sister in law took mine to fly back to London last year.

Yes, the shoulder strap is very sturdy, adjustable, and the carry handle is joined with a Velcro grip and is comfortable to carry. You can load this bag as heavy as you need......mine has met its match by being stuffed to the gills! Good bag for the money!

I bought the bag and returned it immediately. It was so flimsy, it can't even stand up straight on its own. Additionally, the stitching appeared to begin unraveling before I even used it. If you want something for "heavy weight", I'd keep looking. In my opinion, this bag probably wouldn't last a month, especially with heavy weight. From the reviews I've read, the clips for the shoulder strap breaks quite easily and is one of its many cons to this bag. I bought the High Sierra Cross Sport Duffel Bubba Pacific, Blue Velvet from Amazon for nearly the same price. Much better quality, see if that fits your needs (it is quite a bit smaller in size though). I bought the bag and returned it immediately.

Yes, it seems to be very sturdy, but I mainly used the handle straps to carry it. I packed it to capacity when I sent my daughter to camp, and it worked better than I had hoped...

It might be able to hold a heavy weight, the strap alone, but I wouldn't rely on the clips that connect the strap to hold and the strap has no pad, so be ready to walk with a lot of discomfort!

I'd have to agree with Manuel, I wouldn't trust a screw and a strap for a 9 pound piece of expensive equipment. It seems sturdy enough for my use but my camera isn't even close to that weight. Besides, the shoulder padding slips around as you use it and I would think with that weight you would want something padded that was going to cushion your shoulders and not move around.

It is not sturdy. However, it fits my needs and holds a lot of clothes. I am careful when rolling it so I'd has held up well for me.

It's pretty sturdy. I pert use it for hiking and usually carry 15 to 20# in it. I would say safely would carry 25#. If your looking for super sturdy, I would recommend army/navy surplus. They have a great selection and do carry sylish backpacks as well.

Yes it does have 2 shoulder straps, and it is holding up fairly well, take great care in the overhead lockers on a plane, it wont take too much banging about, good luck.

I never had a problem with the strap. It holds comfortably on my shoulders.

Yes, it can handle that much weight. I weigh almost 200 lbs and it works well with me and it could accommodate a lot more.

In my opinion, the strap is pretty sturdy. My computer weighs a lot more than my husbands and I have no problem at all maneuvering it around. I hope that helps!

Very sturdy. I believe it can hold all of that. I wouldn't go any heavier with the weights.

It is a little lengthy, but I would not foresee a problem. The shoulder strap is very sturdy and I suspect he would be able to handle it.

It seems very sturdy. My husband is a pretty big man, and he has had no problems.

No there isn't a shoulder strap. But if it's full it might be a lot of weight for a shoulder.

I carry my two 6 pound miniature dauchunds in it and have no problems with sturdiness. Straps are strong and does not create a lot of movement for dogs either.

Probably not. It's petty wide to carry with a shoulder strap. Maybe use wheels somehow but it is not heavy empty

Yes. It's extremely sturdy, with strong bars - they don't bend. We've had it for years now - still works and looks like new. You can hang pounds of clothes on it, and it folds easily.

It's VERY sturdy. I weigh 250 lbs. and use it everyday. It could hold much, much more.
