I've taken the Base Camp Duffel-XXL on international climbing trips and high-altitude expeditions, and it has never let me down. The capacity is massive - it swallows down suits, double boots, ropes, hardware, and still has room to spare. For big mountain objectives where organization matters, the wide D-zip opening makes packing and repacking at base camp incredibly efficient. No digging around in freezing conditions. Durability is where this bag really shines. The laminated material shrugs off rough baggage handling, truck beds, and rocky terrain without flinching. The compression straps keep everything tight and stable, and the detachable shoulder straps make it surprisingly comfortable to carry, even when fully loaded. What I appreciate most is peace of mind. When you're flying across continents for an expedition, the last thing you want to worry about is your gear bag failing. This duffel feels expedition-proof. If you're heading somewhere serious - this is the bag you want.

We have been buying the same Duffel bag for years! We travel a lot since we have homes in two countries, so we carry a lot of things back and forth. These are the best for that! They are super spacious and super light! As our kids grow, they take our bags, so we keep buying them. We have them in green, blue with gray, red, yellow and our favorite: in black.

This product is heading to Tibet soon. I had a different cheap duffel on my last trek and the seams opened up in flight. This duffel is super sturdy, peace of mind....

This bag is bomb proof and I dont think there is anything else like it on the market. Its my go-to bag for carrying gear on all adventures.

I had to pack for three seasons where I spent two weeks in Svalbard and then went to Kenya and Tanzania for another two weeks. It held everything I needed. It also stood up to being checked on nine separate flights, multiple taxis, rental vehicles, and six different safari vehicles. Getting clothing in an out of it was easy as was packing and repacking it. I would highly recommend buying any other color than black if you have any gear or clothing that is black since it will disappear inside. If you need absolute waterproof capabilities, know that it will likely leak where the zipper is if it is left out in a heavy downpour. For light rain, it shouldn't be an issue. I will use mine again on an upcoming five week trip to India and Mongolia where it will once again be packed with for both arctic and jungle weather.

We used this duffle to send our 18 year old son off to a month long camp. Everything including clothes, towels, sheets, blankets and a pillow fit in there perfectly! Others arriving had to have 2 hard suitcases seeing those don't hold much. After unpacking the duffle folded up in its enclosed pouch like a champ.

Using it daily to transport footballs and gear to camps. I have been using it for family vacations as checked luggage for 4 of us. I stuff it to the gills, ends up right around weight limit of 50 pounds.

Bought this bag to store all my gear in. And definitely worth the purchase. Super strong and easy to pack. Might have to get a second one.

I use this bag to transport my turnouts, scba mask, extra jacket and hoodie, boots, and radio strap. I takes some Tetris skills, but love the bag.

This is an amazing bag! Just traveled around the globe with it and it withstood 9 flights and 28 days of traveling. It is also easy to pick out at baggage claim! I highly recommend and would by it or any of the sizes again. The North Face name does not disappoint!
