Abstract An all purpose travel bag has a carrying strap and a sack with top, bottom and side zipper closures for the compartments herein. The front of the bag is made of transparent plastic. The bottom of the sack is divided into three compartments intended to house binoculars, a camera and film, respectively, closed at their lower end by a common zipper. Over these compartments are five others of unequal length and/or width. The two outer ones are closed by vertical zippers on the sides of the bag and hold passports and an umbrella. The three inner and smaller compartments have zippers at their tops and hold a thermos bottle, magazines and a radio, respectively.
