Know before you buy
The bag offers 30 liters of internal capacity, which is plenty of room for a change of clothes, gym gear, or a few days' worth of essentials. It is designed to be a lightweight secondary bag rather than a primary suitcase for long-haul travel.
Yes, the bag features versatile carry options that allow you to use it as a standard duffel or carry it over your shoulders like a backpack. It is a great feature for when you need to keep your hands free while navigating through an airport or city.
It is constructed from 70D nylon, which is chosen for its ultralight weight rather than heavy-duty load-bearing. While it is strong enough for clothes, towels, and groceries, it is not intended for carrying heavy electronics or sharp, jagged gear.
The design is intentionally minimalist, featuring one large main compartment and an exterior stash pocket for quick access to small items like keys or a phone. It does not have internal dividers, so you may want to use packing cubes if you prefer to keep your items separated.
The duffel folds into its own integrated pocket, resulting in a compact package that measures approximately 17 x 15 x 5 cm. It is small enough to tuck into a larger backpack or a glove box until you need it.
