It's not your average duffel bag. Made from a durable laminate material, the Base Camp Duffle is a bomber of a bag. Amply resilient to be roughed around in-flight, or to be transported up a mountain via a yak, this is one burly duffle bag. 69-litre volume provides ideal storage for weekend, or extended weekend trips lasting three to four days. The new design includes redesigned straps and a separate compartment to stash your shoes or dirty laundry.

Speaking from a European perspective. If you want to take advantage of cheap flights around Europe, flying hand luggage only. The carry on allowance is
Very useful information, thank you.
I got the tnf fusebox for this exact reason
You can always compress the small one down if anything 😂
as a reply to this I'd like to say that the good thing about duffels is that they usually are very easy to compress. I've traveled multiple time with my Osprey Transporter 65L as a carry on by just not packing it very heavy and compressing the stuff inside.
so I'd say there should be minimal issues with the TNF Small (50L) as long as you pack smart :-)
Just adding: WizzAir trolley bag: 55x40x23cm. Carry on: 40x30x20cm. Thanks for the amazing comparison!
Considered must-have equipment in the climbing and adventure sports community. I'll make sure my friends buy them from Rushfaster in future!
Damn, I just got one of these but it has those really annoying straps that cross over the middle of the bag rather than the side handles directly on the sides... any idea how to get the ones with side handles? Seem to be impossible to find
thanks! it was helpful because I was wondering what the new improvements are compared to the old version :)
What’s the best option between de s and m to travel for one week?
could I hide a should straps when I would like to use it as a side bag?
Been trying to gauge the sizes of these bags before I bought one. Best review yet.Thanks mate.
Glad we could help
@@RushfasterTVeven in 2023 this was so helpful
Great review mate! Thinking of getting one of these to use as a winter camping\bushcraft bag, wouldn’t be trekking too far, how do you think the backpack straps would hold up??
Backpack straps are great! Depending on how much you'll be bringing with you, the straps should sustain you for a full hike I'd say. Which size are you thinking? - Ed
this video was so helpful to me coz i was wondering if i bought a geniune one, coz the zippers i have now doesn't have holes which you can put a LOCK.
glad it was helpful! :)
Im going for a 10 days trip to indonesia. Would you recommend a L or XL?
Hi which size do you recommend for my boxing gloves n gym studf
What are the sizes in liters?
You should clear the image in the beginning of the video in stead of putting the name of the product, cause this way we can easily choose what video we want to watch by the style of the backpacks. Good videos man keep going !
does the small has locker zipper?
how many liters is the extra small size?
Which size will you recommend for a seven-day trip? I am considering between small and medium but I'm not sure whether medium can fit into carry-on category. Thank you!
Go with Large. The flight crew will put it on side of the plane.
thanks for showing the differed between the xxl and the xl. I got the L at REI and took it back, it was just too small for me.
I love these bags! I have a blue medium one and it holds quite a lot. I love the red and I love the yellow, black is cool too! I want to get a small one and a large one (maybe xl) for travel and camping.
They're pretty awesome! You can't stop at one.
Very nice comparison!
Great video man
Are the zippers puncture resistant?
I have a medium and large one. Make sure to buy them on sale because most retailers will have a discount on them.
Nice visual video but what's the weight in empty of every single one? Especially the 3 smallest ones and the liters they can take. Thanks.
The Base Camp Duffle has undergone another iteration in its latest update (mainly bringing the central haul handles back), so the Base Camp we sell is slightly different. But here are the weights of each:
XS: 1.16 KG
S: 1.23 KG
M: 1.60 KG
L: 1.84 KG
XL: 2.01 KG
XXL: 2.12 KG
Hope that helps!
Has anyone been able to travel with the LARGE as a carry on? I ordered the medium but it just seemed too small for the money. I"m thinking about getting the large and just not packing super full.
Great question! :)
From memory - the medium should be able to fit most unnamed airline cabin compartments. I believe the large is too big for an airline cabin. But you'd be best to check the cabin guidelines of the airline you plan to fly with just to be sure. Or alternatively give TNF support a quick email and see if they can give you more info about their products :)
Major error in the information in this video - The medium size exceeds Airlines size for a carry on bag while the Small is exactly the maximum dimensions for commercial airlines.
Not for klm
Patrick Doyle I've never had a problem with it and I've used multiple airlines.
He is correct it's to big for the airlines.... With that being said I've never had an issue with it as a carry on. But yes it is technically to big. I have a medium and an XL and I love them. I even made a video of how much gear can for in an XL
Straight and Level LLC Did you use the Medium with budget airlines? Like Ryanair or EasyJet? I’m afraid it may be too big. Not sure if I should buy a S or M. What would you recommend?
@@santosquirno I'd buy a medium. I've never been hassled by them. Teechnically there to big for flying, just don't massively over for it.
Can you review the new Herschel backpacks please? Thanks!
can you use the Small with Easyjet? Does it pass the baggage gause??
Hmm thats a very specific question, we've had a look for you:
The dimensions for the TNF Base Camp Small is 53 x 32.5 x 32.5 cm. On EasyJet (www.easyjet.com/en/help/baggage/cabin-bag-and-hold-luggage) they say that their maximum is 56 x 45 x 25 cm.
Which seems unusual because the TNF Base Camp Medium is usually the maximum size you can fit for cabin spaces.
You might be best to contact EasyJet themselves to confirm this, they seem to be very responsive on FaceBook.

Hope that helps! :)
I purchased Red - XXL . I love it. Thanks North Face. I have to purchase a hand cart(wheel) for it and that will make it even more useful .
Glad you're enjoying the duffle! :)
- Ed
Hey. Would you recommend the XXL as a suitcase for general holidaying?
very helpful thank you so much
I have the black M one. It’s BIG! Perfect for so many stuff. Groceries? Perfect as well... 😂
Thank you this was great
Which is the biggest duffel size from the North Face range that fits in cabin size (Wizzair, Ryanair) , small or medium?
Great question! :)
From memory - the medium should be able to fit most unnamed airline cabin compartments. But you'd be best to check the cabin guidelines of the airline you plan to fly with just to be sure.
question : can the small size duffle bag fit for airplane cabin?
Medium can fit in to ? :/
Which size would be better for carrying watersport stuff medium or small?
The size of The North Face Base Camp Duffel that would be better for carrying watersport gear would depend on the amount and size of gear you need to carry. In general, the medium size would be better suited for carrying larger watersport equipment like wetsuits, fins, and snorkels, while the small size would be better for carrying smaller items like goggles, sunscreen, and towels.
Here are the dimensions for each size:
Small: 12.8" x 20.9" x 12.8" (32.5 cm x 53 cm x 32.5 cm)
Medium: 14.1" x 27.6" x 14.1" (36 cm x 70 cm x 36 cm)
If you have a lot of gear to carry or larger items, the medium size may be a better option for you. However, if you have fewer and smaller items, the small size may be sufficient and more manageable to carry around. It's always a good idea to check the dimensions of your gear and compare them to the dimensions of the duffel before making a decision.
Anyone have any experience taking the medium on an Air Canada flight?
Im going on southwest airlines from ontario or lax to denver, i want the medium as a cary on but if i have to ill get the small. which one would fit for a carry on? thanks
Jaan, I've not flown Southwest before but I do know that I use the medium as a carry on on any Australian airline and they're cool with it. I don't pack it out though, so you can kinda compress it to make it fit within their dimensions. Small should easily be ok but just check with their carry on specs on their website if you want to be 100%.
Mate just get Medium or even Large. The flight crew always puts the luggage on the side of the plane. Nobody ever follows the airline bag dimensions.
Flight crew will put it on the side of the plane. If you're that worried, then downsize and get a medium.
Thank you for explaining the missing handle. My Hubby had one stolen and needs to replace it but I was hesitant due to the missing central carry handle. I makes more sense now.
also... just FYI... the L has a 95L capacity, and then XL goes up to 135L I think, and XXL is 150L.
My Hubby is a geophysicist/environmental geologist/marine biologist/paleontologist who travels with these all over the world, literally. The only thing about the XXL he would caution probably is that it carries so much it can
get way over weight so keep an eye on the weight and in some smaller air craft they might charge a bulk item fee.
You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Demetrius Alfred Instablaster :)
@Gavin Amir i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Gavin Amir it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Demetrius Alfred happy to help :)
Great video man! Quick question for those out there who got these: I'm still not sure whether a M size would fit as a carry-on bag or a S is necessary. Could someone help me? Cheers!
Depends on the airline ultimately, but you should be good in most cases
I use M as carry-on during european flights (the sizes are more restrictive than on US flights), but I have to keep about a quarter empty most of the times. The most restrictive is WizzAir where the M size is twice the size of the free carryon. I only had the bad full during moving and it's way bigger than what most airlines consider a carry-on.
I take a medium one on carry on all the time, just don't pack it to the max.
I'm going to be climbing Kilimanjaro for 7 days next year, what size duffel would you recommend?
I would recommend getting a backpack and carrying your own equipment
+Josh Suntup thanks! But so you wouldn't recommend a porter?
Honestly Rhian, no I wouldn't. Happy for you to email me at shwaze@me.com for my take on it having climbed last year
I'm going for a 15 days travel to Vietnam. Which size would you recommend between M and L?
Hi there! If you prefer a bag that is lightweight and compact, you may find the Medium size to be the best option. It has a 71L capacity which would provide enough space for your personal belongings and fits into the overhead compartments on planes and buses. However, if you'd need more storage, the 95L will provide more space allowing you to bring additional items. Thanks and safe travels!
Can you carry the small on an airplanes ✈️ as an carry on ?
I always use the XS duffel as a carry-on bag. Perfect size!
My GF just gifted me one for my bday and this thing is sick! Definitely would recommend
NICE dude - that's a great present. She's a keeper.
Enjoy! - Ed
@@RushfasterTV haha definitely! Thanks!
How’s the backpack straps mate? Do you think it could be used on trecks and trails as a backpack?
Do you recommend having a nice GF or the NF?
Great vid, thanks for sharing. I'm looking into buying one of these instead of a full size check in suitcase (mine keep breaking, banged up etc, even proper ones). Usually airlines allow around 23Kg (including suitcase). Could you recommend a size? I was thinking L/XL. Cheers.
Hi Nick, I am currently in the same process, what did you decide on in the end, and was it adequate?
Hey mate I went XXL after ordering all 3 sizes. I just landed for a 6 week Euro trip and I’m really happy with my choice, it’s filled to the brim and I can always pull the straps to make it more compact.
@@nickplomp cheers for that, that's good info. Enjoy your trip!
@@nickplomp how many kilos is the XXL (150L right?) when you fill it up more or less? Must be well over 23kg, no?
XXL! Really happy with my choice. Just used if for skiing, 4 pairs of boots and 4x gear all under 23kg. You can always make it smaller but not bigger ;)
Just ordered the bad camp duffle bag size M in blue. Can't wait to see it!
That's great to hear! You're going to love the North Face Base Camp Duffle Bag. The blue colour is a great choice, and the M size is perfect for everyday use or weekend getaways. Let us know what you think of it when you receive it! - Kez
@@RushfasterTVThe bag came this week. 📦 The quality is top-notch 👌 I just have problems putting on the straps. I don't know how to do it. Lol 😂
I have the XL I buy it because I'm going back to my country but I'm not sure If is going to feet in the plane registered obviously did u know? If not I'm gonna change it for the large.. thanx!
Definitely go with Large and it will be fine for Carry-on. The flight crew always puts it on the side of the plane.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Glad it helped!
Hi
which size will be suitable as hand luggage for an airplane, s or xs?
you can go up to M... but don't fully pack the M to get it on board.
I usedmy Large, but of corse it was not full.
If youre close to a NorthFace store you have lifetime warranty. Theyll fix any problems you got with it or give you a new one
What's the difference in litres between small and medium?
Small: 50L
Medium: 71L
I was waiting for: "And this?... It's the Extra Extra Extra Large, Yup. You can carry a full size dog in here"
Would a medium be allowed as a carry-on?
Hi Samurai, I actually was able to take both the small and medium on as carryon's on two different occations and with two different airlines. The first was the small on Air Canada and the second time was the medium on an Air France flight. I will admit though, the medium is REALLY pushing it because when full, these bags do become heavy and bulkier, but if one wants to err on on the side of caution a small is fine (although if full, it's tough to get it to fit completely under the seat, best to put up top).
I take a medium one on carry on all the time, just don't pack it to the max.
I have used my size M as a carry on on several airlines within the European Union (predominantly Norwegian and Ryanair) without any problems or hiccups so far - knock on wood. But the bag is a tad on the bigger side I think. Sure, it fits in the cabin but I am thinking about purchasing a smaller version of the duffel for use on shorter trips.
Hi I’ve used my medium on domestic US and international travel as carry on’s dozens of times.
Will the small be able to fit under the seat on a plane?
Probably would use the compression straps and the included size strap that came around it😊
yes it does! I use it as a hand luggage in every trip.
Yes, but depends on how much you pack it. On an Air Canada 767 it fit underneath but protruded and impeded my leg room. Non the less it easily fit in the overhead bin.
2:22 well i dont get it everywhere i see photos with these handles so where can i buy a bag like in the Video?
It's really hard to say actually, because TNF have removed them and after some feedback from others they put the handles back in. I'd say best option is to contact the store you're thinking of purchasing the duffel from and ask specifically about the haul handles and also the confusion surrounding that issue. I think that's your best option of finding out.
- Hope that helps!
Ed.
how big is the one size
Sure the Large can't go as carry on?
100% Sure. It doesn't fit.
The 3rd one you showed is the 42 litres one??
71L, size M
Does small have a side pocket like medium and large
No it doesn't unfortunately! :O
- Ed
Ok thx
hello everyone, have any of you used one of these bags (M or L) as checked luggage yet?
We've checked in a M Base Camp Duffle.
thanks!!!!!
Any users in ASIA? Do you think we can carry on Medium size?
Yes but don't pack it full.
Wish they kept the cross carry handle..
Are the seems welded?
The North Face Base Camp Duffle Range is known for its durable construction and high-quality materials. The seams of The North Face Base Camp Duffle bags are typically stitched and then reinforced with additional binding tape or fabric to enhance durability. Welding seams, which involve using heat to join materials together, may or may not be used in the construction of The North Face Base Camp Duffle bags, as it depends on the specific model, version, and manufacturing techniques used by The North Face at the time of production.
Mate: How many six packs did you drink before doing this video!? Nah! Just messing with you. Thanks for the comparing all the sizes; exactly what I was looking for. Cheers and Smooth Sailing ⛵️🌝⛵️
I wish they had a black on black version version with like either black or grey writing instead of white. Black or grey makes it more subtle instead of white “THE NORTH FACEE”
You should’ve wore the bags on your back, I’d love to see how the bigger versions look as a backpack😂
I bought the small version but i realized these don't come with a shoulder strap. I was sooooo annoyed as i want to wear this as a duffle bag not a backpack damnit
You can just use one or both of the backpack straps as a shoulder strap if you want to.
Although not sure why you'd want to, unless you already have another backpack on at the same time.
@@HappyCheeryChap i wanted to wear it as a duffle bag not a backpack because it keeps the bag aligned horizontally so my things inside won't be moving around everywhere, as opposed to a backpack where it's vertical and the things inside would move and cause a mess inside the bag.
Why not say the size in litres
So, did you wonder if the zippers are puncture resistant?
なんて？
No roller wheels ? Bummer.
They had a rolling luggage bag called the Rolling Thunder. Not sure if they still make those - but they were awesome. - Ed
Annoyingly, The North Face have put handles that “get in the way” back on the medium+ bags 😒
Buy a £XXX worth of North Face to put in beer?
You hid the fact that it’s not a double zipper ❕
Did we? If so, unintentional. - Dan
Medium 70L 90L 130L ???
Hi there! The Medium duffle has a a 71-liter capacity :) Cheers!
Did anyone else's Alexa get triggered from this video?
Mine did

that would’ve been helpful…

Extra Small - 28 cm x 28 cm x 45 cm
Small - 32.5 cm x 32.5 cm x 53 cm
Medium - 35.5 cm x 35.5 cm x 64.5 cm
