When Robyn Owen and her husband, Mike, set off with a one-way ticket to Kathmandu for a year of travels, “everything (which was quite a lot) fitted inside the XL duffel,” says Robyn. “It luckily didn’t come to that but I think it could have served as a pretty good emergency bivvy bag if I curled up. It is the perfect bag for traveling with lots of gear. Simple and durable.”
No matter what you come up against, the durable laminate ballistic nylon construction will be as dependable as ever.
Outdoorgearlab.com gives The North Face Base Camp Duffel five stars:
“The Base Camp Duffel wins our Editors’ Choice award for the sixth straight year. It’s the only product we’ve tested to achieve this distinction. It scored high marks in every category, especially durability and ease of packing.
“While it has been around forever, the Base Camp has undergone only minor revisions and is still at the top of the pack and in line with all the more expensive duffels we tested. It has nearly all the features you need and nothing you don’t. “
