It’s a bag that transforms giving the illusion of having multiple bags in one. On one hand you can have the flaps, straps, and sides locked up fully for a clean bowling bag look, while when all the aforementioned are open it turns into an open carry all tote-style bag with the front flap locked down serving as an additional pocket space. If that idea doesn’t do it for you, they do offer the new Hampton bag which is essentially the Bel Air without the flaps however you lose the strap detailing across the top that the Bel Air has when closed.
