The duffel done right
on July 27, 2025
Posted by: Prince
from southern Utah
I have been eager to try one of PD's duffels for awhile now. Finally got the 50L Coyote xPac on sale so I pulled the trigger.
I'm always on the search for the "perfect bag". And while I don't think that bag exists, this duffel comes really close.
The bag's capacity and ability to open so wide is such a plus. It's cavernous and the focus is clearly on the main compartment, as it should be of you're calling it a duffel bag. It's super comfortable and easy to carry on the shoulder.
The material is durable, I'm sure. But it is rather noisy when packing and carrying the bag which makes me feel like I'm carrying a bag made from one of those "space blankets".
Zippers are solid and extremely smooth to operate. Exterior pockets are useful yet unimpressive in their functionality. The interior pockets could be a bit larger without issue.
Overall, I am looking forward to traveling with this bag for many more trips (I've taken it on one so far). It's the perfect size and is a real head turner. Very impressed so far.

So practical
on July 12, 2025

I needed a carry on bag for a research trip to Egypt, and decided on this bag since it was 35L for international carry on size and seemed durable. This bag completely exceeded my expectations. It had just enough organization with the side pockets to handle all my small items while reserving the bulk of space for large items like my clothing, which I used peak design packing cubes for. I really enjoy being able to change the carry styles depending on the situation, and I found the backpack style to be very comfortable going through airports. I’m excited every time I travel because I get to use this bag.
The only things I wish were different about this bag is that the magnets in the handles were stronger so they could match up together without much effort, and had a slightly wider opening on the main zipper. It would be nice to be able to unzip it and leave it as a kind of bucket. The internal frame of this bag is a plus since it makes getting stuff in and out of the bag a lot easier than something that can flop around.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Rugged and ready for the world

I have traveled across the globe with this duffle and love its versatility and durability. My only critiques are that the clam-shape design is a bit awkward to load and unload, especially when not expanded. Also, I wish the sternum strap was a bit more functional when carrying it as a backpack.

Amazing duffel
on May 27, 2025
Posted by: tonyv
One of the coolest bags I have owned that truly looks and feels high quality. The 35L is perhaps too big for a dedicated gym bag (my original use), but the extra space is appreciated for weekend trips. The bag has thoughtful pocket design and other nice features like the thief-deterrent zippers and different locations where you can put the handles/straps. The only reason this bag doesn't get 5 stars is due to minor flaws. 1) the handle magnets are very weak, and without a physical clasp it makes carrying the bag less comfortable. 2) the handles are quite poor as backpack straps. It would be better if you had two of the longer strap. Other than that, a great bag

Solid duffle I use for the gym
on March 28, 2025

Fantastic duffle. I have a bunch of PD bags for photography so I actually bought this duffle for the gym. It's amazing. So much room, large opening to access my stuff, and the symmetry is beautiful. I use some other PD packing bags to separate my stuff. Like I have the clothing packing cube for my change of clothes, and one of those ultra light packing sacks for gym gear; straps, bands, etc. I love seeing my PD duffle in the gym next to everyone else's cheap "sports" brand bags. I am curious why the 35L doesn't come with the carry strap thing that hold the two handles together, it would be useful to me.

Love this travel duffle!

I have been looking at replacing my travel duffle for awhile now. After getting an everyday backpack last year and loving it I decided to get one from Peak Design. I love the size, the pockets, everything about it. This one will definitely hold up better long term.

I bought this for everyday use and as a carry on bag. Have to say its completely worth its price. Waterproof, easy to pack and great design.
