Know before you buy
Yes, the Scout Duffel features detachable straps that allow you to convert it into a backpack. This makes it much easier to carry if you are navigating through airports or walking longer distances.
A 40L capacity is generally ideal for a long weekend trip or a 3-to-4-day excursion. It provides enough space for several changes of clothes, a pair of extra shoes, and your essential toiletries.
The bag is constructed from water-resistant recycled polyester. While it will effectively protect your belongings from light rain or splashes, it is not fully submersible and should not be left in heavy, prolonged downpours.
No, the Scout Duffel does not include a padded laptop compartment. If you plan to carry tech, you will need to use a separate protective sleeve inside the main compartment.
The bag features interior pockets designed for smaller essentials, along with an exterior zippered pocket protected by a snap flap. These are best suited for items like chargers, keys, or travel documents that you want to keep separate from your main gear.
