I love technical duffle bags for their versality. A well-made one like the Peak Designs Travel Duffel can be deployed on so many different types of outdoor adventures and travel situations, from keeping ski apparel and gear stored in one place and ready to grab for easy early morning departures, to using as a basecamp bag with everything you’ll need at camp before heading out on backpacking, biking, or rafting and kayaking adventures. It’s also a great travel choice when used as a carry-on or vehicle road trip organizer.
I’m a fan of duffels like the Travel Duffel that can be carried by hand, over-the-shoulder, or worn as a backpack. And then there’s the ability, unlike a backpack, to open it up wide to find what you need without having to pull everything out. The technical features, though, are what make this duffel ideal for outdoor sports and travel. It’s constructed with a tough, water-repelling fabric with a waterproof bottom liner and has three exterior and two interior zippered storage pockets for stashing and organizing smaller items. The Travel Duffel comes in three sizes: 35L, 50L, 65L, and 80L. 50L MSRP: $154.95. Peakdesign.com
