Best Gear Bags-2
MEC Duffle Bag
It's easy to be drawn into the lure of Everest-ready duffels, with more bells and whistles than a steam train, and a hefty price tag to boot. Going to be scaling Everest any time soon? Didn't think so. The MEC Duffle is for all the everyday and travel situations you actually do find yourself in-going to the gym, hauling work supplies, grabbing groceries and heading off on weekend getaways. It's available in five sizes and can be carried using a shoulder strap, as well as top and end handles. Plus the two largest sizes also include backpack straps. The duffel's exterior zipped pocket is a handy stash point for a wallet, phone, keys and the like. To add even more features to the mix, the duffel folds into its own pocket for easy storage when not in use or to form a compact addition to your luggage. Rounding things off is one of its most attractive features-its wallet-friendly pricing.
Aether Welded Duffle Small
Many duffels tend to forget that there's a lot to be said for visual appeal. The Aether Welded Duffle Small is not one of them. This stylish duffel offers a softer approach to gear bags with its heathered body fabric, which is complemented by a rubberized base, welded construction and waterproof zippers for protection against the elements. Side and top handles provide carry options and a zippered exterior pocket lets you keep smaller items within easy reach.
Arc'teryx Carrier Duffel 50
Lightweight-check. Excellent water resistance-sorted. Multiple carry options-sure thing. This duffel packs plenty of features into its durable form. Taped seams and a WaterTight™ zipper with a storm flap protect the contents against inclement weather. Removable shoulder straps can share the load with grab handles on all four sides. Plus a light interior provides enhanced visibility of the contents, so less rummaging and more efficient access to your gear. This is a tough and reliable hauler that works well in a range of work and play settings.
BAD Duffel #4
It's good to be bad…well, a BAD duffel, that is. Why, you may ask? Because this hard-wearing hauler is built to last so it can enjoy years of adventures with you. With build features including water-resistant 1000D Cordura with taped seams, rugged #10 YKK zippers and reinforced stitching, this duffel will withstand demanding daily use and the not-so-loving caress of baggage handlers. With further features such as locking zippers, an ID holder, compression straps, as well as side and top handles, this duffel is all set to prove its usefulness across a range of casual and challenging carry environments alike.
Black Diamond Demon Duffel
Choosing a cragging bag can leave you between a rock and a hard place. Sometimes they're hard to carry, not comfortable or lack versatility. Not so with the Demon Duffel from Black Diamond. Grab handles let you carry it easily over short distances, while backpack straps and a hip belt help shoulder the load over longer distances and can be stowed away when not in use. The framesheet and padded back panel offer user comfort, and the full-length zip provides convenient access to the contents, whether you're using it outdoors or tackling varied carry demands in town.
Exped Tempest Duffel
Expedition duffel, waterproof gear bag, lightweight and protective luggage...the Exped Tempest Duffel is a versatile creature that works around your lifestyle. Its high frequency welded construction combined with a waterproof YKK FlexSeal zipper gives you peace of mind that your gear will stay dry, even if you don't. Unexpected downpours, monsoons, watersports, escapades in the snow-wherever you find yourself, rest assured you'll find dry gear afterwards. The duffel is available in three sizes and features a pared-back design to offer an attractive weight to volume ratio. The carry straps can double as backpack straps, and there's also a grab handle for enhanced portability.
