Poor Craftsmanship. Definitely wasted my money.
I've barely used this duffel and it's falling apart. The laminate is breaking from the outer material. At every natural fold is a hole. Great bag if you don't plan on using it. Definitely not durable or waterproof. It's an older design so hopefully the newer designs are better.
A bag for adventure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this for both business trip for the practicality and looks as well as durability, very utilitarian if you watch what you stuff in it beside your back. Great bag!
50% the quality 100% the cost
This product has been updated to increase profits at the cost of the consumer and what was once a great product. My girlfriend bought one of these bags a few years ago and loves it. The material is thick and durable enough to withstand anything you throw at it. The backpack straps are also a great touch to help carry the bag over longer distances. I decided to buy one of these for myself only to discover that North Face has updated this product to use a much thinner, weaker material for the bag to the point where sun now permeates through the material. The new updated design will be great if you want to replace your bag every year.
I am in the club!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My two brothers have North Face Duffle bags. One has had his for years for use on our motorcycle trips. The bag had been the envy of us all. Recently, another brother purchased one for our upcoming summer motorcycle trip. So, I had to have one. I purchased the hi-viz duffle to rest on the passenger seat as I ride. The bag lives up to all the hype. All my clothes and things can fit in the bag for a solid 6 days of traveling without having to wash anything. It is beautiful, sturdy, and exceptionally made. I love it. I hope to be able to get my wife and daughter their own bag one day. I am glad I am in the North Face Base Camp duffel bag club. You won't regret getting one.
Older style NF Base Camp duffel has carry handles!
The newer (2018) North Face Base camp duffel no longer has carry handles. North Face told me to contact REI online to see if they had the older version. (REI brick and mortar stores do not have this version.) REI online has this duffle - which is pictured here and does have the carry handles. Not sure how long REI online will carry this version but it comes in really handy to have the option of both carry handles (that velcro together) and the backpack straps. I bought 2 different colors and both had the carry handles. Bag fabric is very durable. Strong zippers. There is also a side zippered compartment on the end of the bag that is handy. Well made.
10 day travel bag
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best bag I have purchased, travel for work 10 days at a time. I took up my clothes for more room. Attached a hook on the bag to hold water bottle. I also can take it on hikes if needed .
Great travel bag
As a truck driver I live out of my bag. I was tiered of going through bags of less quality and the frustration that comes along with that. So I decided to bite the bullet and purchase this beast. I am very satisfied with my purchase and impressed with the durability. This bag is truly “heavy duty”, I have not babied the bag and have begun my assault, to my surprise it still looks new. Please be aware that this bag will not qualify as a carry-on if it’s fully stuffed. I stuffed it 2/3 of the way and barely made it through the airport as a carry-on. I like it so much I want another one in a different color!!
A 15 year love
My father purchased this bag for me about 15 years ago after we traveled somewhere our hard-sided, traditional luggage could not fit in the trunk of the cab. This duffel has been my trusty travel companion. We have been on every mode of transport--planes, trains, cabs, tuk tuks, buses, boats etc... The bag is durable and sized appropriately for all types of travel. It fits in nearly all overhead bins and stows away without taking up much space when not in use. The duffel style allows for easy access while the backpack straps make it easy to carry. The vibrant yellow color makes the bag easy to identify. I love this bag. I hope to get another 15 years out of it.
Best duffel bag I have ever bought
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a emergency medical technician and was call out to the wild fires out in California. I traveled all the way from nyc to fersno California with my duffel bag with all my personal equipment and work equipment. This bag kept up with me in all kinds of weather and taurine. I was in the mountains and sleeping out doors and everything was secured at all times. This bag is by far one of my best investment and looking foward to taking it with me in many more rescue missions.
Very Good bag that used to be better
My favourite feature of the base camp duffels has been that iI can use the compression straps to secure the bags down to cargo racks on a bicycle porteur rack or motorcycle rear rack without needing to carry extra straps. The lopsided new design doesn't centre the weight right. The bags are durable and do a good job of keeping your stuff dry. I did a 17,000km road trip across Canada and everything stayed dry despite highway speeds in numerous torrential downpours crossing Ontario. The only time I've had one let in water was when the bag wasn't full (of gear) and water pooled on top of a low spot and water seeped in through the zipper. I now put my sleeping bag in a thin dry bag and squeeze the air out with my weight and close it up to keep it compact and dry when packed - compressed and dry without compression straps. Oh, then use the dry bag semi-full wrapped with a fleece pullover inside-out as a pillow at night.
