Gorgeous bag, hate the handles and magnet concept.

By far, this is the best looking duffel I've seen out there. Outside pockets are great, main capacity is...a duffel...wide open for loading however you see fit, material and craftsmanship live up to the PD reputation. Big gripe with this bag is that the magnets do not work at all to either keep the handles together or to keep the bag's top corners pinned down as advertised. Biggest grip with this bag is that the handles are oriented so that they sit on their edges in the hand. This was done so that the magnets could keep the handles together, but the magnets don't work and the handles, in that orientation, are senselessly uncomfortable and awkward in the hand. Even if the handles weren't in this orientation, the leather is still very stiff and uncomfortable for hand carry. I don't carry duffels in backpack mode, but I can't imagine these handles are doing anybody any favors in that mode either. This bag needs a redesign quick, fast, and in a hurry.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

They need to fix the handles on the 35L Bag

I love so much about this bag but there’s two huge problems. I’m disappointed every time I pick up my bag by the handles. They aren’t comfortable and they never stay together. They’ve fixed this with the 65L bag. But they need to fix the 35L bag. I would buy a new on in a second if they did.
Also the clips holding the should strap have both broken but luckily you can feed it through the handle and it still works. Not at all ideal but it didn’t make the bag unusable. Needs to be fixed in a new version.

Perfect for traveling

I like the travel backpack style of traveling. Free hands means I can wheel and carry my wife’s overpacked suitcase much more easily! I owned another brand that I thought was well made, but wasn’t expandable. Enter the travel duffel.
Meticulously made with smartly placed pockets that hold way more than their size seems to tell you. The material is strong and durable, yet looks great. Just used it on a fly fishing trip to Colorado (caught - and released- some nice 6-8 pounders) and the bag was perfect.
Im ready for the UK soon, let’s hope my wife follows through with her promise to lighten up her packing.

Good quality but my experience in use was okay
on May 19, 2023

I had the black version and it worked fine, but certain things made it less stellar than many of the other PD products I've used. The semi-rigid handle lost its rigidity after a few trips of use. The magnetic tab holders were nice in thought but they weren't strong enough to hold them down as I moved with the bag. With the black version, I had a hard time seeing the logo tab so then I often couldn't tell which side was which and opened the wrong external pocket. Feel like for the money, I would've been happier with a different duffel.

Excellent for Weekend Trips and as a Carry On

Really great build quality, positioning and number of pockets, and lots of space inside. This is my go-to bag for 2-5 day trips. I really like the design of the bag. I prefer not to have roller bags, so that it's easier to jog to the plane for short layovers. The main strap is repositionable, which makes it easier to distribute the weight. The only downside is now I want the larger one for longer trips, too.

Unsung Hero

You always hear about the Everyday bag and the Travel Backpack, but you never hear much about the Travel Duffel. It’s a great bag for short trips, but it’s also super convenient as your carry-in bag. Since it opens with a top mounted zipper (instead of a panel, like the Travel Backpack), it’s easier to access on planes, buses, and trains. The wide open interior fits a wider variety of stuff versus the Everyday bag.
I wish the straps were a little longer so it could comfortably worn as a backpack sometimes.
