Shopper How long is the bag and does it close when the poles are in it?
RUTH G the bag is 28 inches and yes, it closes securely. The poles are shorter than the bag.
TALMADGE B The bag measures 34 inches to the edge of the cinch strap that is on the end.(Not the shoulder strap). If your poles are shorter than that you can just fold the end over and then tighten the cinch strap.
CATHLEEN P bag is 36 inches long and it does not close - I use it more to hang the poles safely in our garage - not so much to travel with.
JANICE P I don't have the dimensions of the bag only because I am answering this at work and my bag is at home but it is VERY handy to carry them in... it does hold the poles if they are not fully extended and the strap is easy to put over your shoulder.. the bag is a vinyl cloth
NEIL K I do not have access to the bag at the moment but I can tell you that YES it does close when the poles are in it. Hope this is helpful.
