Bought it 2 years ago and it's holding beautifully. Handles have developed some patina but a lot of the bag looks like new. Main compartment zipper is reinforced and does not het floppy/wrinkly, making zipping/unzipping easier and getting into the bag easier. Plenty of compartments and and carry styles thanks to many attachment loops for shoulder belt and handles. Handles do dig in into shoulders though if you carry heavy stuff. Also, magnets in to keep the handles together hold the handles quite poorly. But it's really all the nitpicks I can think of.
I travel for work with a 2 bag system and basically live out of this bag and a backpack for my laptop etc for a couple weeks at a time every month. It’s just the right amount of space for me and let me tell you it is rugged. I’m not easy on this bag and it looks brand new after months of weekly use. I’ve only had one issue where I lost a strap and even though I was at fault customer support took care of me and got a new one right out. I honestly can not say enough good things about this product, the CS I received, and this company as a whole. Great gear and people!
I’ve used this as my main bag and as a complement to a backpack. Works well with the PD cubes but also with other packing systems or just loose items due to its flexible structure.
I bought the 35L duffel bag in sage about a month ago and have used it three times. The quality of the bag is top notch. I love the feel of the materials and it’s durability. I am able to get everything I need in the bag for a weekend and/or five-day trip. It is comfortable to carry and doesn’t feel too big. I mostly carry it by the handles because I also travel with a 20L backpack. The only con about the bag is the tote handles. The magnets are not strong at all and barely hold together. But this is minor and not a deal breaker since the bag has so many other great features. I would recommend the duffel bag. The sage is a beautiful color.
I bought my bag one year ago and use it very frequently. The product is well thought and designed. It has all the pockets I may need and is great to handle, hang and store. Two problems so far: 1. Using it as a back pack is very hard because the straps are not adjustable. This is the main low point. 2. After one year, the metal parts started corroding. This is obviously not great, but the product warranty has addressed it. So no worries there
I bought this duffel last year when we relocated from California to the Midwest to take care of an elderly family member. We loaded up a 16foot truck and headed out on Route 66. This was my main bag for the trip and it worked out great. I was able to use this for in and out of motels along the way. I was somewhat careful with how to treat this bag, but realistically, I tossed it in the back of the truck several times, and even with the every day abuse of traveling this way, the bag held up wonderfully and looks brand new. As with all of the design products, this is another outstanding bag.
