I was looking for a stylish and well made bag for lighter travel. This bag has been perfect. The build quality is great and I think it's one of the best looking pieces of luggage I've ever owned.
Nice material, not only functional but looking good as well. Side pocket large enough to fit water bottle, which I really enjoy. Can be convert into backpack mode which is great in some circumstances This is a perfect pack for one or two bags traveling. The only downside I can find out is that I wish the hand carry was a bit more comfortable. Thanks PD for creating such an awesome duffel, ultilitarian yet fashionable.
Well thought-out and useful design. Good quality material all round, particularly like the large center cavity that can take in almost anything. If only the strap is adjustable, so that when carrying in backpack mode, it can be adjusted to fit different body size and bag load.
The duffel part of this bag is exactly what a duffle should be - a huge cavity that pretty much stays open when packing or unpacking it. The other parts are just ingenious and handy. Places to stash stuff and keep it in some order. Suitably resistant to rain and so forth. I appreciate being able to customize the carry - strap repositioning is brilliant.
I'm currently using this duffle alongside the large packing cube and have it fully stuffed to max capacity with other things such as a toiletry bag, an old 2011 fat 15 inch macbook pro, mini tripod, led light and the pockets are loaded with other miscellaneous tools and travel essentials.
I've had this backpack through your standard wear and tear situation such as trains, planes, busses and due to the weight of my things in it I can only use it as a backpack which works PERFECTLY for my body size and build. I noticed some other users mentioned the backpack function is not usable for them but for someone who has a slim build at 5'4'' I'm doing just fine.
A regular backpack would be tearing at the seams or at the stitching where the handles are locked into, but not this bag. I'm currently using it to backpack through Japan and it has been a blessing not having any malfunctions occur or bag tear because that would make it very difficult for me to continue being mobile since it's the one and only bag I'm using. This peace of mind is essential to making a trip like this.
EVEN if this bag breaks I would buy it again because of how rough I've been treating it, I'm surprised it already hasn't shredded.
I'd give it 4.5 stars if i could - This duffle is a good size, and fits a considerable amount of gear in, but is also usable with a low loading. Material strong and hard wearing, having survived a few trips around Australia and over to the US and back. Good pocket sizes, and locations making for quick easy access to the things you need. Biggest drawback is the magnets for the sides and the handles just aren't strong enough. Barely ever close in normal use
The design of the travel bag has unique ingenuity and characteristics, the color matching is simple and durable, the content is large, and it is very suitable to load fitness and sports products.
