Bomber: The North Face Expedition Duffel

Written by admin

SINGAPORE (Team Geared Up) - This has to be the best, strongest, toughest bag on the market. It’s absolutely super for travel converting between a massive chasm of space down to a compressed pack suitable for hand luggage on a flight.

Pictured above is my grey 140L duffel strapped to the back on a mule/horse in Peru. It really did get treated tough in rain & snow/hail on that trip to over 4000m on horseback and didn’t leak or show signs of wear.

The classic bomber expedition duffel. Whether you’re going to Tahoe or headed to Ama Dablam, the Base Camp Duffel gets your gear there with you.

That bag has been with me everywhere since I bought it in 2002, 6 years ago and it’s still going very strong. It has been in more plane holds than I can imagine and it just brilliant. Want something suitable for travel, suitable for in your car boot, suitable for stacking in your tent porch… this is your buy. Between a few of us we now have the red, yellow, grey & black models and when we all have them when travelling together it looks a sight.

P.S. You may have noticed something new up at the top of this post (you’ll need to be signed-in for full effect, create an account if you don’t have one). Yes - it tells you own owns the gear we’re talking about and lets you add it to your own gear or wish list. The plan in the next few days is to match up the people who own items to sell them to people who wish for the same thing. We’ll see if it works! Feedback gladly accepted.

It’s a great bag, I bought one for Tony a couple of years back and he loves it. I think the fact that it looks kinda cool as well as practical is why people love it. It would have to have wheels for me to lug it around though!
