Great storage but too big for my needs.
I originally got this for general travel needs but then realized that on normal trips this would be considered oversized baggage and extra fees would be charged by the airlines. I returned it which the process was seamless and reasonably priced.

Awesome Gear Bag
This is an ideal bag for adventure travel. It's perfect for climbing, scuba, ski and bicycle trips that require large or odd shaped gear. Materials are super rugged and reinforced. The wheels are protected and don't snag on baggage handling equipment. It's a cavern. One downside of this much space which adds up to 72", almost every airline classifies this as oversized luggage and will charge even first class passengers extra for it. To the numerous complaints about the absence of a telescoping handle, it's peculiar whinging. This bag is 36" tall. a person with fingertips at 35" from the ground are at least 6'9" tall. The rest of you do not need a 2-3 foot long handle and your bag trailing five feet behind.

Missing the most common fewture
I do not recommend this bag as it does not has the most common feature for a rolling duffel. There is no pull-out handle and the only place to grab is on either corner when transporting it.

Not like the previous design
I have no clue why North Face "updated" the design and made it less functional. I wish I had the opportunity to purchase 5 duffels the previous version. Major drawbacks of the current version are the lack of a telescoping handle, a slanted main cargo compartment which makes packing and searching for items tedious, and the lack of end compartments. I am currently looking at other brands which seem to have better options but I'd much rather North Face bring back the previous version.

No handle and internal support is sketchy
The no extendable handle is somewhat of a setback but it's not terrible. I've found ways to work with it. My biggest complaint in that there is a support inside the bag that is a metal rod about 1/4 in diameter. The ends of the rod are decently sharp and those ends slide into a a small 1 inch pocket made of nylon strapping. Pretty much every time I use the bag the metal support slips out of the little pocket and goes around tearing up everything in its path. It's put holes in shirts, and rubbed scratch marks into various harder items of mine and I now end up putting cardboard in the bag to prevent it from tearing things up. The metal rod cannot be removed, it is riveted in on the back of the bag. If the sides were also riveted in it would be a whole lot better. Not sure why they went with such a janky way of holding the rod into place on the ends, but it simply doesnt work. The waterproof coating, hard/ durable plastic shell bottom, and size of the bag are great, but I'm too nervous to put expensive gear into it for me to recommend the bag to others. for the price I would have expected this to be better designed.

Everything You Need in a Heavy Duty Roller, Nothing You Don'
I'm a competitive equestrian, and use this bag around the country in various environments and weather. This bag is awesome - it has enough pockets and pouches to be useful and orgranized, while still keeping them low profile and out of the way for the main luggage compartment. The soft neoprene handles make it easy to pull behind, from airports to dirt and gravel competition grounds. Best purchase I've made.
