Didn't Know How Much I Needed This!

This bag is awesome and has exceeded my expectations! It's probably the best duffel bag I've ever seen and felt, and I've tried a lot of bags. First of all, it feels like it's high-quality with lots of padding and well-made stitching. It feels like your stuff would definitely be protected in these. It's great both as a backpack and a duffel bag - super comfortable as a backpack with a taper to it to conform to your body, yet this doesn't take away from its functionality as a duffel bag. Impressive! Not overly large, either, just the perfect size. The right amount of pockets as well - there are some at the ends, small mesh ones on the inside, and of course the big large space. No dead space it seems. I've used this as a travel bag for clothing and toiletries, as well as a sporty bag for snowboarding/skiing, and it's impressive how much this thing can fit. Overall, I'm super happy with the design, construction, quality and comfort of this bag. It's honestly the best duffel I've ever used! No complaints really. (other than I got the highly impractical white which of course stains faster, but oh well, it looks fantastic!)

Ok. I'm 5'2 and I love to travel!! And for as much as I love to travel, I equally dislike carrying multiple bags. I prefer to keep all my things on my back- and with the bag that is definitely a possibility. I took this bag to Mexico for a week! I packed 3 dresses, 1 springsuit, 4 bikinis, 3 pairs of shorts, 3 shirts, 2 bodysuits, necessary shower stuff, a mini hammock, 1 book, 2 pairs of pants AND snorkel gear (flippers included). AND a hat too.. and other small things. THEN on the way home i was able to fit 2 more shirts and some small gifts in there. I looked like a white shelled turtle but it was so worth it. The straps are super comfy and I was complimented on it everywhere I went. the internal pockets are bomb. My absolute favorite part is how the main zipper is on the (padded and cozy) backpanel for travel protection. The design is superb. I also had to run through the airport in flip flops to catch one of my flights and it didn't flop all around and cause me to fall over either. .. extra points there. I highly recommend it.

I've borrowed this bag a couple times. Once for a summer long-weekend trip to Seattle and once for a week-long Christmas vacation back to Vermont. The design of this bag is really convenient to be able to do a traditional duffel bag carry, or bring the straps out to carry as a backpack. You can use this bag as a carry-on. There's a nice pocket for dirty laundry or shoes to remain separate from your other gear. The top pocket is a decent size for keys, wallet, passport, a toothbrush and things of that regard. The material and overall construction of this bag is really top-notch.

Favorite duffel yet

It seems as though duffels with backpack straps are the latest craze in travel. However, from the bags I've tried, it seems like for those that try to both, end up not being all that great of a backpack, or duffel. After taking a few long weekend trips with it, I really can't express how much I love this bag. It was the perfect carry-on. With more structure than most, it was extremely comfortable to wear around and has a ton of great features not seen on comparable bags. Bottom line, it's amazing. I love it, and so will you.

Perfect carry-on

This bag is perfect for flights, I like it a lot more than the traditional roller carryons because it can pack down smaller when not full and it's got some awesome organization features. Tons of mesh zipper pockets inside for small things, a big zipper bottom pocket section and a small top access section for sunglasses, snacks, etc. It feels really durable and the main compartment access is a huge zipper similar to a regular suitcase which makes packing easy. Backpack straps can also stow away to be a classic duffel.

Perfect travel bag for any adventure

This has quickly become my go-to duffel for any travel (long to short trips). It is a perfect carry on size and the pockets keep me organized throughout the duration of my trip. I love the sleek look and how it compacts down. It has a surprising amount of space- the large zip off section is perfect for dirty clothes. All-in-all, I highly recommend the duffle bag for everything from trips to the gym to across the world.

Is there a dedicated shoe compartment in this bag and if so, how big is it?
