Capacious Lightweight, great Orange

I've put it through the wringer

I think the review title says it all. I got this as the carry-on companion to my 90 or 95L. Same color. The big one has been on East African photo safari three times and it's held up well while looking quite adventure-ready in the fiery orange red color. I used this small one a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surpised by how much I could fit inside.

The pack its self feels

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pack its self feels tuff and capable. I have been using for 2 works as my everyday work bag (medical). The carrying straps are robust and much more comfortable then the older addition of this bag, which where uncomfortable enough that I simply carried it with a duffel strap. I would give this bag 5 stars, but there is one downside to this bag. In the previous model there was a great side pocket on the outside that was wonderful for organization. For smaller items I want kept separate this was a Boone. Overall great pack.

Great everyday/weekend pack. It fits

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great everyday/weekend pack. It fits everything I need, is easy to transport, and keeps everything dry, as I recently experienced during a tropical storm. As a duffel, it is very easy, and "pack-n-go." When I convert it into a backpack, I need to remain cognizant of how the contents are placed because since there is no back support, items will collapse and drag in the back. For me (I'm 5'6), the pack as a backpack turns into a "C" shape, with the top of the "C" touching my shoulders and the bottom of the "C" resting entirely on my buttocks. However, I am NOT suggesting that the pack should have a back support because I think it would ruin the versatility of the pack itself. I rate this pack 4.5 stars.

Best Duffel Ever

I absolutely love this bag. Took it to Scotland on planes, trains, and automobiles. It was my primary luggage and held everything I needed for 2 weeks. I'm constantly amazed at how much I can put in this bag and still meet airline carry on requirements. It is my go-to duffel for quick trips or longer overseas trips where minimalist packing and convenience is required.

Nice, but Irritating

I liked the size and the weather protection as well as the ability to change to a backpack. I used this as my carry on 'stuff' bag because my other carryon was a very full camera bag. I also used this everyday in Alaska while I was dropping and adding back layers of clothes. What drove me crazy was having to change back and forth between the little end pouch where I stashed my small stuff to the main compartment opening where I needed to grab or put away a jacket. I honestly thought mine was put together backwards until I looked again at the website.

We needed a smaller duffel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed a smaller duffel bag for travel and this one is perfect!

Solid, holds up well to

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid, holds up well to travel, the backpack straps are convenient. Wish they wouldn't have entirely removed the standard duffle handles, but I had no trouble just using one of the four side bars. Works as a carry-on, though it's so portable I wish I got a size bigger just in case.

Stays put, holds what I

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stays put, holds what I need, and looks great on the bicycle or motorcycle.

Great all-round travel bag

I work in LE and travel a lot. This is a rugged bag and is the perfect size for a carry-on. I would like to have a laptop compartment, but I know that this bag is not designed for business travel. Even so, I love it.

Where is the strap??

The old version was an amazing bag...this new version has no shoulder cross strap?? How can a duffel have no shoulder strap? It's now just an awkward backpack....epic fail
