Second, cheaper or ultralight duffels have a tendency to fall over when full, which is something to be aware of when making a purchase (heavier models like the Osprey Sojourn Shuttle do not fall over, which makes them worth the extra cost in our opinion). Eagle Creek opted for a straight zip instead of the U-shaped lid of many duffels here (like the Black Hole above), meaning the Migrate is a lot harder to live out of and keep organized.

Mountain Hardwear offers some of the most serious outdoor duffels on the market, from the high-capacity Expedition above to the Camp 4 here. From our experience, the build quality isn’t quite up to Patagonia standards, and the REI doesn’t have that sleek, high-end look either. At the same time, it’s not waterproof (or even highly water-resistant) and definitely not a fully featured bag for travel. Time and time again, we’ve loaded an entire vacation’s worth of clothing and gear into the Osprey with ease. The duffel is beautifully constructed from end to end, and you get multiple color options from simple black to phosphorus green.On the other hand, most duffels with vinyl or laminate finishes (such as the Patagonia Black Hole) will keep your gear dry in a rainstorm, but their zippers and seams might leak with sustained exposure to moisture.

Duffels are available in 40, 70, 90 and 120-liter sizes – providing size options for any travel adventure, from a weekend getaway to a week-long mountain expedition. All deniers are not created equal, but this gives you a general idea of how two duffels stack up to each other in terms of toughness. Both bags offer comparable organization pockets, but the Base Camp’s medium and large models add an exterior compartment on one end that allows you to separate dirty clothes and shoes.It won't be particularly heavy (maybe 18kg max) but I have some bulky things and I'm over 6 foot so the size isn't an issue. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Some duffels like the Osprey Transporter omit carry handles altogether­ in favor of shoulder and backpack straps. The ergonomic design makes it suitable for all shapes and sizes; with fully adjustable shoulder and waist straps, the Ramada backpack will remain comfortable throughout your trek or camping trip.
