FAQS

What makes a duffel suitable for camping?

A great camping duffel is built to handle rough ground, shifting weather, and bulky gear. Reinforced fabrics and weather-resistant construction keep contents protected, while strong haul handles make it easier to move the bag between vehicles, campsites, and tracks. Wide openings or panel-access designs help you reach gear quickly, even when everything is coated in dust or mud.

What materials make a duffel bag more durable?

Durability comes from robust materials such as heavy-duty nylon, TPU laminates, and abrasion-resistant base panels that stand up to rocks, gravel, and frequent handling. These tough fabrics help the duffel shrug off scuffs and scrapes that occur around campsites or cargo trays. Reinforced stitching and high-quality zips also play a major role in long-term reliability.

Why choose a backpack duffel bag?

A duffel backpack hybrid gives you the versatility of backpack-style straps for longer carries across uneven ground while retaining the generous, wide-mouth storage that makes duffels so practical. This setup is ideal when your trip transitions between airports, trailheads, and huts. It also helps distribute weight more comfortably when the load gets heavy or awkward.

What size duffel bag should I choose for longer trips?

For extended travel, a 60 to 90 litre duffel usually offers the ideal balance of capacity and manoeuvrability. This size range can handle clothing, layers, and bulkier equipment without becoming too unwieldy to carry. If your adventures involve variable conditions or gear-intensive activities, leaning toward the higher end of the range provides helpful flexibility.
