Ydalir Duffelbag 25L - A 30 000 mm Haul Bag You Can Wear (720 g)
Gear bags live a rough life. They ride in the back of vans, sit in wet grass at the foot of a crag, get dragged across gravel and thrown into the hold. The Klättermusen Ydalir Duffelbag 25L is built for exactly that treatment.
The shell is Molle® Maxima, a 900D fabric rated above 30 000 mm water column. That is roughly triple what a good technical backpack fabric offers, and it is why this bag is the one you stop worrying about.
It also carries four ways: two side handles for lifting it out of a car, two haul handles on the gable for passing it up to a belay, and detachable shoulder straps when the walk-in is longer than the car park. A full-length zip means you pack it like a case.
Who is it for?
Climbers, alpinists and anyone moving equipment rather than packing an outfit. If your gear ends up on wet ground more often than on a hotel bed, this is the bag built for that life.
What Makes the Real Difference in the Field
A duffel is a simple object, so the differences are in the few things it does have.
- ✔️ 30 000 mm Molle® Maxima shell: a 900D, 530 g/m² TPU-coated fabric that shrugs at wet ground and grit.
- ✔️ Four carry positions: two side handles, two haul handles on the gable, plus detachable shoulder straps for the walk-in.
- ✔️ Full-length zipped opening: pack it flat like a case instead of stuffing it from the top.
- ✔️ Reinforced base: a second Molle® Maxima layer at 355 g/m² on the panel that takes the abuse.
- ✔️ Expandable volume: the bag opens up when the load home is bigger than the load out.
- ✔️ Loop webbing on the outside: attachment points for anything that has to travel on the surface.
The detachable straps are the feature you appreciate on the third trip, when both hands are full of rope and the bag goes on your back without a thought. 720 g empty, 15 kg carried.
Who This Bag Is For
The Ydalir is a gear hauler first and a travel bag second, and it is happiest when it is being used hard.
- You climb and need a bag that can sit in mud at the base of a route.
- You travel with equipment and want a 15 kg carry rating in a 25-litre footprint.
- You walk in and want shoulder straps for the approach, off the bag the rest of the time.
- You pack in layers and prefer a full-length zip to a narrow top opening.
- You want recycled fabric that is bluesign® approved and PFC-free without a durability penalty.
The trade-off is simplicity: this is one large compartment with no internal organisation, so small items need a pouch of their own if you want to find them again. That is the deal a haul bag makes, and it is the right one when what you are carrying is a rack, a rope and a pair of boots.
The Ydalir is the first duffel in the Klättermusen range at Eiken, where it joins backpacks like the Gilling Backpack 26L. If you want a larger, more travel-oriented bag, the Topo Designs Global Travel Bag 30L sits in our sustainable duffle bags alongside it.

FAQ
Yes. It comes with detachable shoulder straps, so it goes on your back for an approach or a station transfer and reverts to a plain duffel the rest of the time. It also has two side handles and two haul handles on the ends.
The main fabric is rated above 30 000 mm water column with a TPU coating, which is exceptional for a bag in this class and means wet ground and heavy rain are not a problem. The zip is not welded, so it is highly water resistant rather than submersible: for a river crossing, line it.
A climbing rack with a rope, or a weekend's clothing, or a pair of boots with a helmet and layers. The recommended carry weight is 15 kg, which is the constraint you will hit before you run out of space. The volume is also expandable when the trip home is bulkier than the trip out.
No. The Ydalir is one large compartment opened by a full-length zip. That is deliberate for a haul bag, but it does mean small items need their own pouch. Klättermusen's Algir, Eldner and Hrid accessories are made to live inside it.
Klättermusen's heaviest fabric family: a 900D, 530 g/m² weave of 100% post-consumer recycled polyester with a TPU coating. It is the material they use where abrasion matters most. The bottom of the bag carries a second Molle® Maxima layer at 355 g/m².
At 44 × 24 × 24 cm it is well inside the common 55 × 40 × 20 cm cabin frame on height and width, but the 24 cm depth exceeds a 20 cm limit when the bag is full. Packed lightly it compresses; packed hard it is a checked or under-seat bag depending on the airline.
Hose or wipe the outside with lukewarm water: the TPU coating takes it without complaint. No machine wash, no tumble dryer, no solvents. Rinse the zip with fresh water after a salty or gritty trip and let the bag dry open before storing it.
