The North Face Base Camp Duffel

Perfect. Fits clothes for 2 adults and a toddler for 3 weeks holida. Waterproof and robust. Lovely design

I am going away for a couple of weeks this year and I also go sailing - so I was considering a new sailing bag. For sometime I've used my wheeled Antler holdall, which is great on flat clean surfaces, but not so good for carrying (stairs!), or indeed inside a boat due to its rigid base.I was originally thinking of a Gill or Musto (well known sailing brands) until I hit upon these duffels. I've now bought a Large size (sailing involves wellies, big waterproofs, sleeping bags etc - bulky stuff, if not that heavy), and I think it will be great for general travelling as well.The quality of construction looks top notch. I got this in Jan 2020, and I believe it is the new version (the previous one did not have normal carry handles) - this has proper carry handles, a large separate zipped compartment on the end, rucksac straps, and external straps for cinching down the entire bag (rather than straps inside that only ever press down on your socks). It also has a zipped net compartment under the lid, and an internal unzipped one at the end. There are no feet or other sharp things that may mark car seats, so it will also be my preferred bag if I know it will be thrown on the back seat. It also comes with a net bag for storing it in - it folds down pretty flat, so you could even take it within a piece of luggage, or collapse it at your destination, unlike a rigid bag.It looks like I've ended up with a bag that is a good contrast to my wheeled bag, and which I can use for all kinds of travel, including sailing, skiing, camping or car tours. Hopefully it will last a very long time, as realistically I will not be dragging it on a sledge in the Arctic, although it feels like it would take it.

This is our 4th North Face Base Camp Duffel Bag and it is beautiful. They are very sturdy and reliable and easy to carry on your back if when heavy.

Excellent sized grip bag and well constructed. Arrived within a week.

As with other North Face bags, it is really well made.Only criticism is the straps can get in the way of opening and take up space if you want to stow them.But in general it's a great overnight bag.

Amazing duffel on most resistant fabric. This is a new purchase but I am an old customer of The North Face which has become a must for all my travelling. I work in very extreme hot and dusty environments and these bags don't seem to bother much about it, differently from common other items that teared or got sticky only after a few weeks. With usage The N Face fabric becomes softer at touch , without loosing strength and durability. Perfect for a nice present too!

Met all expectations in carrying modes, size and water resistance.

A Great bag- using to back pack with .Zip a little stiff but added some spray lubricant to ease.
