This is one of the top selling duffel bags, We liked the external pocket, padded bottom, fabric, and attention to detail. We wish it had a pocket to store the shoulder straps in which would make it better as a travel duffel. - Sport
Turns out it is lockable. All you have to do is get one of the small TSA locks and put it through the ends of the zipper pulls. Worked great on a recent trip.
Hi Craig, Great review! Do you know How this one compares with the osprey duffel 95 L. I am between those two? osprey seem to have better/more comfortable backpack system but Patagonia seems more durable and waterproof.
Can you make a shoulder strap for the duffle bag? I want to get the duffle bag, but prefer a single shoulder strap.
oh man! Another fellow bozemanite! Saw ur B-Bowl shirt. I dig it
I own and have used both the Patagonia and TNF duffle. If I had to buy again I would go TNF: bigger D-opening, more durable, and can be locked.
It's a black hole because we don't see the insides and so I guess it is just a big deep rectangle with those two mesh envelopes?
Have two duffel bags from Ortlieb and in my opinion they make the best waterproof bags. And you can roll over them with a tank
Is there really no way to lock this bag up? This seems right on the border of a carry-on size...if the airline has me check it in wouldn't I be SOL?
The backpack straps definitely remove from both ends and VERY easily. The bottom is a click buckle like he said. The top is just a rectangular piece of plastic that on the strap fits inside of another plastic oval shaped ring attached to the bag. If you pull the plastic piece attached to the strap, it gives you enough slack to rotate that plastic piece (about 90 deg) and slide it out of the piece attached to the bag.
He also didn't mention the two sets of compression straps inside the bag (at least on the 90L) or the cool feature that this bag will fold up into that outside pocket for convenient storage.
Awesome bag, but the review didn't do it justice.
I just received this bag today and had it not been for your comment I'd have thought I was missing some straps. It wasn't too difficult to figure out one fit inside the other, but I wasn't about to test it without confirmation. Not sure why it wasn't mentioned in the video, but thanks for writing your comment! :-)
Had both - you want this type of bag to be simple and bulletproof so for me it has to be TNF - looks cooler too ;)
Anyone have any experience with the K3 Excursion 6oL?
If you have a stick thing to it like a sticker open up the stick thing then put the other one and put that on the stick thing and boom
WHY DOES EVERY VIDEO NOT SHOW HOW TO ATTACH BOTH ENDS OF THE STRAP ;(((((((
I am having the same problem. Me so sad.
ME TOOOOOOOOO!
Mee three this sucks
Hahahaha same

Hello, how are you? Do you know where I can buy the straps for the suitcase? Thank you
What color combo orange is that?
Good review. Thanks. It would be nice if it was lockable though. A big downside to the bag.
I have one
Looking for a bag for paintball, just surfing reviews, saw the Bridger Bowl Shirt. I miss my homeland! Go Griz!!! (though it appears you are used to getting beat up on kitty cat...)
can you backpack with this or is it too uncomfortable
You can carry it a couple miles from a vehicle to a camp site, but it's not something you'd want to spend all day carrying.
Is it better than the Mammut Cargon 60L?
In his other video, he likes the Cargon more. This was #3
the Cargon has been updated with no end pockets. Straps can't easily be removed either. I went with it due to less blingy shiny appearance, but some of the features this reviewer likes, have been removed
But... Could I use this on a kayak trip? going down the buffalo this year and looking for something like this.. should get plenty of splashes
+Brett G this bag handles splahes like a champ, use it boating and take waves over the bow mid race all the time. If you let it sit in water though it will leak. I also treat mine a couple times a year with a rain repellent.
I have been a professional guid for 10 years and this is not my first or second choice on the river or boating. It will leak like sieve not because of the fabric but because of the zipper.
Does this meet airline carry on restrictions?
+Rakesh Arora I just took mine on a flight as a carry on, easily fit and no one asked any questions.
Thanks Holden Raulston!
+Holden Raulston what size? can I use the 90L as a carry on?
This geeza got some serious beef with TNF
can these protic electrics from a emp
+Richard Trevethan Are you speaking english?
don't you have too be in your cave before your owner kicks your ass
Great. Criticize The North Face Base Camp Duffel just because they haven't changed it? It was perfect. Now they got rid of the handles. Happy now?!
50-60 liter duffels are not carry-on lol.

No shoulder strap is a deal breaker for me. It's a lot more trouble putting it on as a backpack than throwing it over your shoulder. It doesn't look good as a backpack either. I almost bought this bag and then realized at the last minute it was missing the shoulder strap. Whew!
You can easily use one of the backpack straps as a shoulder strap.
eddie bauer maximus duffles as just as good and much cheaper
Horrible review! It doesn't show anything.
i came to hear about the black hole duffel bag not to hear why the north face duffel is awful
ha ha, me too.
He even didn't open or described some details of the bag, just talking review. a review of talking...
Wtf I just want a good duffel that doesn't have HUGE ugly lettering smeared all over it!
madzappa Patagonia is like Nike and Apple, they charge a premium for there name so they assume you want it all over the product
It is a nice logo imo, I don't mind it being big. Also it's a fun word to say
Far superior my ass. TNF duffel is still the standard go to duffel for adventurers.
