Know before you buy
Yes, at 135 liters, this bag is very large and well-suited for long-haul trips or expeditions. Please note that its dimensions (15"H x 34"W x 17"D) exceed standard airline carry-on limits, so it will need to be checked.
The duffle comes with a dedicated storage pouch that can be used to compress smaller items or organize gear inside the main compartment. When the bag is empty, you can fold the entire duffle into this pouch for compact storage.
The base is constructed from 1000-denier recycled polyester, which is significantly thicker and more abrasion-resistant than the 600-denier material used on the body. This design ensures the bag can withstand being dragged or placed on rough surfaces.
The bag features a PFC/PFAS-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish that causes water to bead off the surface. While it provides excellent protection against light rain and splashes, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
The shoulder strap is padded to help distribute weight more evenly across your shoulder. While it is helpful for transport, the bag also includes padded grab handles at both ends, which are often more practical for maneuvering a bag of this size.
Yes, the duffle is equipped with compression straps. These allow you to cinch down the contents to prevent gear from shifting during transit, keeping the load stable and balanced.
