Know before you buy
When fully compressed into its own pocket, the duffle measures 7.5 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches. It is compact enough to slide into a larger suitcase or a backpack without taking up significant space.
The bag is constructed from 100D Robic nylon with a UTS coating, which provides excellent weather protection against rain and splashes. While it is highly water-resistant and durable, it is not designed to be submerged in water.
With a 25-liter capacity and dimensions of 18 x 11.5 x 11.5 inches, it fits well within the standard personal item size limits for most major airlines. However, always check your specific airline's requirements before flying.
Yes, the shoulder strap is adjustable and can be removed if you prefer to carry the bag using only the top handles. This allows you to streamline the bag depending on how much gear you are carrying.
Because it is designed to be packable, the fabric is lightweight and flexible rather than rigid. It will take the shape of whatever items you pack inside it, making it easy to store in tight spaces.
The hidden loops are designed for lightweight accessories like carabiners, keys, or small gear pouches. They are great for keeping essentials accessible on the outside of the bag without cluttering the main compartment.
