Know before you buy
While the bag is highly water-resistant thanks to its taped seams, coated nylon fabric, and WaterTight™ zipper, it is not fully submersible. It will effectively protect your gear from heavy rain and snow, but it should not be submerged in water.
Yes, the bag includes removable, padded shoulder straps that allow you to carry it comfortably as a backpack. You can also configure the straps for courier-style carry over the shoulder.
The interior is white-pigmented to improve visibility. This makes it much easier to locate smaller items or gear tucked into the corners of the bag, especially in low-light conditions.
The Carrier Duffel 50L is designed to be exceptionally lightweight, weighing in at just 0.54 kg (1.19 lbs). This makes it an excellent choice if you are trying to maximize your gear weight while staying under airline baggage limits.
The Carrier Duffel 50L features a minimalist, single-compartment design to maximize internal volume and durability. It does not include internal dividers or pockets, so we recommend using packing cubes or small gear pouches to keep your items organized.
Yes, the NC400r-AC² nylon ripstop fabric is very easy to wipe down. Because the material is coated and highly water-resistant, mud and dirt generally do not soak into the fibers, allowing you to clean it quickly with a damp cloth.
