FAQs
What is the volume of this duffel bag?
The North Face Base Camp Voyager Duffel has a volume of 32 Liters.
Can I use this as a carry-on?
Yes, with dimensions of 220 mm (Height) x 576 mm (Width) x 350 mm (Depth), it generally fits most airline carry-on requirements. However, it's always best to confirm with your specific airline.
Is the laptop sleeve padded?
Yes, the internal sleeve is padded to protect laptops or tablets up to 15 inches.
How do I clean the bag?
Clean the bag with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
What does 'Voyager' mean in the product name?
The 'Voyager' designation indicates this duffel is optimized for travel, offering lighter weight and more travel-specific organizational features compared to the original Base Camp Duffel, which is geared more towards expeditions.
What is the main difference between this and the classic Base Camp Duffel?
The Voyager is lighter, includes a padded laptop sleeve, and is designed with more travel-focused pockets and an internal divider, while the classic Base Camp Duffel is built for more rugged expeditions and typically lacks these specific travel-oriented features.
Is the bag completely waterproof?
The bag features a water-repellent (DWR) coating, making it resistant to light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof, so prolonged immersion or heavy downpours may allow water to penetrate.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and slide gently.
Bag does not hold its shape when empty
This is typical for softer duffel bags. The bag is designed to flex and adapt. Overloading slightly or using the internal divider can help provide some structure.
Water is seeping through the material in heavy rain
The bag has a water-repellent (DWR) finish, not a fully waterproof construction. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider using a separate waterproof cover or storing sensitive items in dry bags within the duffel.
