The explorers. The over-packers. The long-weekend warriors. From urban escapes to alpine basecamps, this is the bag for those who need room to roam, but want their gear dialed, protected, and easy to carry.


Why the Duffel 55L stands out:

- ✔️ 3-Way Carry Versatility: Ergonomic, padded shoulder straps transform it into a backpack, or remove them for a clean duffel-style haul. Reinforced haul handles make airport runs a breeze.
- ✔️ Smart Storage: 55L of space plus interior mesh pockets, an exterior zip pocket, and daisy chains for lashing. Fits everything from ski layers to yoga mats to full weekend kits.
- ✔️ Packs Into Itself: When you're done, fold it into its own side pocket for compact storage. Minimal space, maximum adventure.
- ✔️ Padded Protection: The sturdy padded base keeps your gear safe from impacts, drops, and rough terrain.
