High-end, high quality duffel bag
I always buy black bags and luggage because I feel like it never goes out of style. Despite my better judgement, I decided to get the blue/black version of this bag because I figured it would stand out more in a crowd. Being able to quickly differentiate my bag from everyone else could come in handy one day. Then I remembered that I don’t typically fly anywhere and usually drive, so I should have got the black like I wanted to begin with. The blue/black combo is not bad, but for some reason it just looks less expensive when you pair those two colors together. It still looks good though, just slightly worse than all black would look. You may feel different, but that is my opinion on it.The bag itself feels very well made. Every single material used on it feel premium quality. I don’t think there is a cheap feeling thing on it. Whether it is worth the price is up to you, but I can tell you that you likely won’t find a better quality duffel bag anywhere. It is on the smaller side of most duffel bags, so check your size needs carefully before ordering.

Almost a perfect travel bag
Overall I do like this travel bag, and it will work well for my upcoming overseas trip … but there are a few issues that keep it from being perfect (especially at this price point). It may be helpful to explain my travel habits because some of my observations may be unique to how I travel. I travel overseas at least once a year, typically for 2-3 weeks at a time, and I fly to the mountains (from sea level) for several weeks throughout the year to ski and hike depending on the season. When I travel, I travel light – I carry the bare minimum, and being able to breeze through security and customs without having to worry about checked baggage is a life goal. So my opinion of this bag is formed from that perspective.First, the pros:The measurements are just a fraction over the typical carry on size limits for most airlines – this bag is about 1/2 inch wider and longer. However, because it’s a soft sided bag – as opposed to a rigid carry on suitcase – I’ve never had an issue with carrying a duffel that exceeds those carry on limits, so have not doubt this will be acceptable. The bag itself is rugged – the zippers are heavy duty and feel solidly built, and the soft side material is thick and durable to withstand the wear and tear on checked bags (if it’s checked as opposed to carried on).Additionally, the bag converts easily to a backpack, and the straps can be hidden which makes checking the bag a cinch without having to worry about straps getting hung up in the conveyor belts. There are a number of daisy chain loops for attaching items to the exterior, and the end pockets have a number of organizational pockets for the odds and ends of gear (power banks, books, etc.) I tend to toss in my bag.Now for the cons -The interior main storage compartment needs some dividers. It’s voluminous enough to justify some kind of divider to help organize gear. I typically pack clothing in compression/travel bags but being able to separate clothing from other gear like shoes, etc., would be ideal. Additionally, this bag can hold a lot – like 50+ liters worth – and that can get heavy (for size comparison, I backpacked through Denali NP for 6 nights in the back country and my pack was 65 liters). So given the capacity, why is there no shoulder carrying strap in addition to the backpack straps? And there’s no belt with the shoulder straps to help distribute weight. I do have shoulder straps from other bags I can use (the daisy chains will aid with that), but for $350 (at the time of this review) a shoulder strap is a no brainer add on.Finally, there’s the weight – this duffel is almost 5 pounds. Now to be fair, it’s durability necessitates some bit of heft, but out of the gate I’m starting at 5 pounds. Throw in a few day’s worth of clothing, an extra pair of shoes, and other travel essentials, and pretty soon I’m hauling 25-30 pounds (so a waist belt would come in real handy!).In a few weeks I’m heading to London for a 14-day stretch and am planning to put this bag through the true test – i.e., actually using it. If the performance changes my opinions I will certainly update my observations.

Great, versatile piece of luggage for when a roller doesn’t make sense
Our family has accumulated a whole range of polycarbonate roller bags for our typical travel. Those are great for short trips getting through the airport, but for more off the beaten travel, we wanted something with a little more versatility — and a little better utilization of space. A duffel seemed to make sense. We have other Travelpro items and have had good experiences with them, so we decided to give this a try.Overall, it is a very impressive bag. It feels very well made — like super heavy duty Cordura-like material — with zippers that move smoothly and feel like they will last. It’s got a billion little pockets and compartments, but importantly has a very large main compartment that opens very wide for easier packing. This proved to be a perfect bag for taking our kid off to college. It fit a lot of clothes and other items, with no wasted space on roller wheels. As we were driving on this trip, space utilization was key to make everything fit in our trunk. This bag worked perfectly for our game of trunk Tetris to make it all fit.I like the fact that it has stowable backpack straps. I don’t think we will use those frequently, but it was nice to be able to put this back on our backs as we were unloading lots of other items from the car. I imagine that if you have it loaded down with tons of heavier items, it just might be too much as a backpack. YMMV on that front.The only downside I see if the price. It’s a lot. But I suspect we will have this around for many years to come. So if it saves us from needed to buy a replacement in 5 years time, the price becomes a little less painful. But I do wish it was $100 bucks cheaper. I’d think they’d still make a pretty margin on it at that level.Otherwise, no complaints whatsoever.

High-Quality Duffel Bag, But Pricey
This duffel bag is rugged, well-constructed, and has excellent organization with plenty of pockets and a roomy main compartment. The stowable backpack straps are handy with heavy-duty material. However, it is on the heavier side and a bit larger than strict carry-on specs, which may limit airline use. The lack of a shoulder strap is a noticeable omission at this price point. While the quality is clear, the price feels high—even for premium features—so value depends on long-term durability and specific travel needs.
