FAQs

How do I carry this duffel?

The Base Camp Duffel offers multiple carrying options. You can use the updated detachable, adjustable, alpine-cut shoulder straps to wear it as a backpack, or use the padded side handles for traditional duffel-style carry or for hauling.

Is this duffel waterproof?

The duffel is constructed from highly water-resistant Base Camp material and features a D-zip opening with a weather-protection zipper flap, offering excellent resistance against rain and splashes. While not fully submersible, it provides robust protection in wet conditions.

How can I separate dirty clothes from clean ones?

The duffel includes a dedicated end-cap zipped compartment specifically designed for separating dirty or wet clothes, muddy shoes, or other items from the main compartment's contents.

What are the dimensions and capacity of this duffel?

This specific Base Camp Duffel (size Large) measures 40cm x 70cm x 40cm and has a generous volume of 95 litres, suitable for extended trips and expeditions.

What materials is the duffel made from?

The duffel is constructed from durable 1000D phthalate-free TPE fabric laminate and 840D Jr. ballistics nylon, providing exceptional ruggedness and water resistance.

Can I use this duffel as a carry-on for flights?

With dimensions of 40cm x 70cm x 40cm and a volume of 95 litres, this duffel is generally too large to be considered a carry-on item for most airlines and will need to be checked.

How do I clean my Base Camp Duffel?

For cleaning, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry thoroughly. Avoid machine washing, harsh chemicals, or tumble drying to preserve the material's integrity and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Duffel feels uncomfortable when carried as a backpack.

Adjust the length of the alpine-cut shoulder straps for a more ergonomic fit. Ensure they are not twisted and that the load inside is evenly distributed.

Contents are getting wet despite water-resistant material.

Ensure the D-zip opening's weather-protection zipper flap is fully closed and covering the zipper. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric that might compromise water resistance.

Difficulty finding small items inside the main compartment.

Utilize the internal zippered mesh pocket for smaller items you need to access quickly. The side zippered pocket is also ideal for essentials like a phone or wallet.

Duffel is too bulky or unstable when partially full.

Use the four external compression straps to cinch down the load. This will reduce bulk and help stabilize the contents, preventing them from shifting.

Zipper is stiff or hard to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability and rugged construction for harsh conditions.
  • Highly water-resistant materials protect contents from moisture.
  • Versatile carrying as a duffel or backpack enhances usability.
  • Multiple compartments aid in organizing gear and separating items.
  • Compression straps help manage load size and stability.
  • Large 95-liter volume suitable for extensive travel or expeditions.

Cons

  • Large size (95 liters) can be cumbersome when fully packed or for lighter trips.
  • Weight of 1.84kg (approx) is notable even when empty due to robust construction.
  • Lack of external quick-access pockets beyond the side zippered one might require more rummaging for some users.
  • The duffel design might not offer the same internal organization as a dedicated backpack with multiple dividers.
  • Info needed: May be bulky for overhead compartments on smaller aircraft.

Setup:

  1. Attach Shoulder Straps: Locate the detachable shoulder straps. Connect the buckles to the corresponding loops on the duffel, ensuring they are securely fastened.
  2. Adjust Shoulder Straps: Adjust the length of the alpine-cut shoulder straps for a comfortable and ergonomic fit when wearing the duffel as a backpack. Ensure the straps are not twisted.
  3. Load Distribution: When packing, distribute weight evenly to maximize comfort and stability. Utilize the internal mesh pocket and end-cap pocket for organized storage.
  4. Compression: Once packed, use the four external compression straps to cinch down the load. This helps stabilize contents and reduce overall bulk.

Compatibility:

This duffel is designed for universal travel and expedition use. Its robust construction makes it suitable for extreme conditions, air travel (check baggage due to size), car trips, and general gear transport. It is compatible with a wide range of packing cubes and travel organizers for enhanced internal organization.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material's water-resistant properties.
  2. Drying: Allow the duffel to air dry completely after cleaning or exposure to moisture. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Storage: Store the duffel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it is empty and clean to prevent mildew or odors.
  4. Zipper Maintenance: Periodically clean zippers and apply a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff to ensure smooth operation and maintain weather protection.
