Best Bag I’ve Found
on October 15, 2026

from London, UK
Absolutely brilliant bag, the handle and strap design lets the bag be packed to all different levels, and be comfortable no matter what. The materials are very high quality, love the bag. Am about to purchase my fourth.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hello PD.
My grandson is 21 in a few weeks and he received a phone case, charger, and a duffel bag. He will be travelling next year and that's when he will get the black roller bag of his dreams. Keep up the good work and I like the idea of signature PD bags.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great size and pockets for gym or a 2-3 day trip. Only thing is it gets dirty pretty easy, but also cleans easy just a wet rag and gets rid of the dirt marks, water spots. All in all, i’d recommend it looks great and gets the job done.

My go-to bag
on August 18, 2026
Posted by: Seemstome
I've used this bag for 6 years for 2-14 night trips. On trips up to about 4 nights I'll put in one large packing cube, one medium, and toilet kit. On longer trips I put in one additional large packing cube. I have enough room left over for ipad and a few books. The light weight is helpful when this is your sole piece of luggage and you want to meet the most restrictive 8kg/17.5lb carry-on limit for some international flights. I removed one handle and reattached the other to the loops on one of the short ends of the duffel so when I put it over my shoulder it stays high and tight to my side, so it looks more streamlined and doesn't bounce against my side, making it easier to walk fast. I've used it for weekend trips, trips to Amans, and bike trips where I removed the packing cubes and put them in the panniers then folded the duffel and put it in the panniers also. I appreciate the lack of hardware/straps on the outside which would not add utility for me and would destroy the clean look. I agree with criticisms the magnets should be a few orders of magnitude stronger (both the magnets that hold the handles together (irrelevant to me since I use only one handle), and the magnets that hold the end flaps of the zipper against the end of the bag, keeping a neat look (I solved that by placing supermagnets inside the bag at the end flaps)).

Excellent Execution

This is an initial impression, and I absolutely love this bag! I bought it to replace an old, similarly-sized gym bag, and what an upgrade it is! The semi-rigid opening doesn't pop into place (which I thought it might) but does offer easier access with the same effort. The light interior is so helpful, too. However, I landed on this bag because of the strap configurations; they are excellent! As a backpack, it's extremely comfortable on either one or both shoulders, and I appreciate the hand-carry closure is minimalistic instead of bulky or puffy - it doesn't need it. I have yet to see any benefit from having the (pretty weak) magnets on the ends, to keep the folded-over uppers in place. That said, they might do more once it's broken in; time will tell. Not exactly a key feature.

Awesome bag
on August 3, 2026
Posted by: gharris
I bought this a few weeks ago and finally took it on a road trip and have nothing but praise for it. The quality is unmatched and I love the design as much as any other PD product. As others have said, the handles could be improved, but then again, this is a large duffel - I'm not carrying it with the handles for long periods of time so not a deal breaker for me. All in all, would 100% recommend this 50L version (especially over the 35L. This fits more but can squish to a similar size).

Buy this.

Best dedicated duffle bag I’ve ever purchased. Exterior is simple, zippers are absolutely solid, interior is organized and not trying to do too much. Love the removable straps, too many duffles try to be a backpack and duffel at the same time and end up being mediocre at both. Only complaint is I wish the exterior pockets were slightly larger. If you’re eyeing this just go ahead and buy it.
