I use this duffel on a daily basis now. It has become my go-to bag for daily life.My favorite thing about this bag is the sturdiness that it has and being waterproof. Yes, the Medium size is a bit big for daily wear but it's extremely convenient to have it and just throw it over the shoulders like a backpack. I originally bought this bag for daily/gym/travel because the Medium fits as a normal carry on bag. I would definitely recommend the Medium to anyone interested in using it for travel and the Small for daily life/gym use and if you're a light packer for traveling (unlike me). Definitely go into a store and check them out for size. For the price and size, it's most definitely worth it. Next up on my purchase is the Small!

I've owned several duffels before - Nike, Dimebags, Polo - but nothing compares to this one. I'm astounded by the quality. The material is beyond durable so I expect it to last for years to come, and I mean years. The space is amazing, perfect for everyday use and normal trips, the compartments and zippers are all well designed and you can tell a lot of thought was put into making these bags. On top of that, the design / color scheme is amazing as well. I love this bag so much, I went and bought two of the duffel canisters, and I can see myself getting a L size one of these in the future as well to have for longer trips.The only con I have with this bag - I wish they made a single, diagonal over-the-shoulder strap which is standard for most duffels, but the straps ...

Overall, I liked the stiffness of the bag, and prefer it to the lighter weight bags. This is a matter of preference. This bag does not compress as much and is heavier, but those are the trade offs for a heavier duty bag that is easier to carry. It is great for its intended use as a camping, adventure bag, but the 70L is a bit small. It also functions well as a weekend bag. That said, I probably would not try to use this as a gym bag, it may be a pain to stuff into a locker. If it had a center strap grommet I would give it 5 stars. Otherwise, it is great.THE GOOD:STRONG: This bag is stiff, heavy duty material, that appears to emphasize the "base camp" functionality. I have a larger Black hole duffel, and the North Face appears to be heavier duty on the bottom, ... MoreOverall, I liked the stiffness of the bag, and prefer it to the lighter weight bags.

Otherwise, it is great.THE GOOD:STRONG: This bag is stiff, heavy duty material, that appears to emphasize the "base camp" functionality. I have a larger Black hole duffel, and the North Face appears to be heavier duty on the bottom, and sides and has stiffer material.EASY TO CARRY: The heavier material makes it easier to carry. The problem with the lighter bags is that they don't have much support, so unless full, they sag more. The heavier material with this bag makes it more comfortable using the backpack straps.GOOD POCKETS: Functional pockets with 2-3 internal webbed pockets and one side compartment which is nice to separate gear.COMFORTABLE STRAPS: Comfortable backpack straps that adjust well and are sturdy.CARRY ON FUNCTIONALITY: There is a wide range of sizes. I found the 70L a little smaller than I expected, but quite easy to upgrade to the 95L if you want a slightly bigger bag. The 70L will still likely act as a carry on where you are likely to get more pushback from airlines on the 95L.THE BADHEAVY: Overall, this is nearly 1.5 lbs heavier than the similar sized Black Hole bag and does packs down to about twice the size. That said, it is still compresses to about the size of a stack of 7-8 dinner plates, which is not bad.NO CENTER SHOULDER STRAP: There is no great single shoulder strap. I'm not sure why it is so hard to add an extra grommet for a CENTER shoulder strap like an ordinary duffel, but none of the outdoor companies seem to think this is neccessary. The backpack straps are not great for carrying on a single shoulder. You either carry as a backpack, or with the side straps.BACKPACK STRAPS CUMBERSOME Backpack straps are not the easiest to remove - they don't clip off. You have to unwind the webbing through the plastic, and it takes some finesse to do so. If you check it, you need to at least take one side of the straps off to zip it properly so you need to get good at this. It can get a bit annoying to remove the straps and then reinstall them (like 4-5 minutes easily to put them on, and similarly to take them off)..

I bought this bag specifically to use on a week-long, off-grid trip in Montana. I needed something to help me consolidate a lot of gear for a variety of activities. The massive main compartment helped me accomplish this. I've used it on several other occasions and it has really fit the bill. I will say, this bag lacks some organization options for small pieces of gear that you may want quick access to or may want to keep separate from other things. But the organization it does have is perfectly suitable for most occasions. The color and design draws a lot of compliments and the material has been tough enough for everything I've thrown at it so far. I feel totally fine throwing it in a rain-drenched truck bed or letting it drop into the dirt. I compared a lot of bags ...

For the price, the capacity, the material, and the name, it really was a stand-out product and I'm glad I got it. I have no doubt that this duffel will stand up to a lot of use for years.
This is such a versatile bag. It's my go to bag for urban and car camping type outdoor adventures. The capacity is perfect for a weeklong trip with room to spare. The number of pockets is just right. Two pockets inside and one on the outside. With how large the duffel is, I really appreciate the big exterior pocket. I pair this duffel bag with packing cubes to keep things organized in the main compartment. Only improvements I would ask for is a quicker way to disconnect, reconnect, and stow the backpack straps and a little more padding on the backpack straps. Other than that I love this duffle!
I recently purchased this well-constructed duffel bag and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The bag is made from high quality materials that feel durable and sturdy. The zippers are smooth and easy to use, and the handles are comfortable to carry. The bag also has a number of convenient pockets, including a large main compartment, a smaller front pocket, and a side pocket for organization.The bag is also spacious and can easily hold all of my belongings for a weekend trip. It is also lightweight, which is a bonus when packing for long trips.Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this duffel bag to anyone in need of a reliable, spacious, and well-constructed bag.
After my old gym bag duffle fell apart, I wanted to invest in a solid new one to last. I researched a few different options and read many reviews. Looks - this bad is 5/5 great look. Functionality - 5/5 perfect size for all my belts, straps, chalk, bottles, chains, whips etc without being too unwieldy. Price - 4/5 I say 4 because the closest competition I was considering was about $20 less, but hopefully this will outlast. Maintenance - 5/5 so far, the easy to clean material is nice for someone who uses chalk and spills drinks often.Misc: The top zippers can be tougher to pull unless pulled from a certain angle. Lastly, I read one review that gave me pause because they mentioned it was hard to use the included handles over the shoulder. I do in fact agree with ...

Lastly, I read one review that gave me pause because they mentioned it was hard to use the included handles over the shoulder. I do in fact agree with that, I am not a fan of the backpack handles at all, so I removed them and fastened the shoulder strap from my old duffle instead. No complaints now, but maybe NF can add an optional shoulder strap.
We bought two of theses and love them! I gave my son a choice of four different bags, and when he read about it, there seem to be no question about which one. I gave my son a choice of four different bags, and when he read about it, there seem to be no question about which ones he wanted. When we got them we were so surprised that they came in such a small box and when we opened them, there was 2 Mesh Circle bags with luggage inside each. We opened the mesh bag and stretched out the luggage, it was very sturdy, waterproof, and quite nice looking, including straps for a backpack. when we went to go put the bags back in the mesh bags, it was quite simple and easy to zip! everything about this bag screams quality, and somebody thought it through quite well.
So glad I bought this North Face Base Camp Duffel. I toyed with using a duffel I already owned, but it never would have stood up to what this duffel had to endure. Multiple trips stacked atop Jeeps in all kinds of weather, several days tied down on a mule, rain, snow, and blistering sun . . . no, scratch that, not much sun at all. It returned home still in usable condition, only leaked a small amount on a rainy day when the wrangler tied it on in such a way that the zipper was exposed. It's more than you need for casual travel, but if you're going out back of beyond, this is your duffel.
I'm a teacher at a homeschool co-op, and I purchased this fab bag to carry all my teaching materials to and from school and into and out of the classrooms to which I travel. It's super duper tough and has plenty of room for all my stuff (textbooks, notebooks, binders, pens, lunchbox, etc.). The extra zippered pocket at the one end along with the small mesh pocket inside the larger compartment are awesome features for a bit more organization!While gone one evening (after having gotten home from school and forgetting my empty salad container was still in there), my goldendoodle helped himself into the bag (he's good with zippers 😜) and spilled leftover bits of salad and dressing all over the place while attempting to eat whatever remains he was able to scrounge up. ...

Good news is the bag was 100% still in tact (super tough up against a goldendoodle's giant teeth!) and it was a cinch to clean!! I just took it outside, sprayed it down inside and out with our garden hose and some cleaner, let it dry outside for a bit, and it was as good as new.I'll also add that I have a 2nd larger-sized North Face duffel that I purchased years ago, and when our tent got rained-out & water-logged following a surprise shower while camping down in FL recently, the ONLY stuff that remained 100% dry was what was in that North Face bag!!! (That's actually what prompted me to purchase the smaller version for my school stuff.) These bags are the real deal!
