FAQs

What are the exact dimensions and volume of the XS Base Camp Duffel?

The dimensions are 27.94 cm x 45.72 cm x 27.92 cm (length x width x height), and it has a volume of 31 liters.

Is this duffel waterproof?

The duffel features a weather-resistant Base Camp material with a Non-PFC Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish and a weather-resistant zipped flap over the D-zip opening. This makes it highly water-resistant and capable of protecting your gear in wet conditions, but it is not fully waterproof or submersible.

Can I carry this duffel as a backpack?

Yes, it is equipped with detachable, adjustable, alpine-cut shoulder straps that allow you to comfortably carry it like a backpack.

What materials is the duffel made from?

The body is made from 1000D Phthalate-Free, Recycled PVC, and the boot is 840D Recycled Ballistic Nylon with a Non-PFC DWR finish. This combination ensures exceptional durability and resistance to wear and tear.

Is the Base Camp Duffel - XS suitable for airline carry-on?

With its 31-liter volume and compact dimensions, it generally fits within most airline carry-on size restrictions. However, it is always recommended to check with your specific airline's current carry-on baggage policies before traveling.

How do I clean my Base Camp Duffel?

You can clean the duffel by wiping it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the material and DWR finish.

Troubleshooting

Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or twist during carry.

Adjust the length of both alpine-cut shoulder straps evenly to distribute weight properly. Ensure the duffel is centered on your back. If available, use any sternum or waist straps (this model may not have them; Info needed: [check for sternum/waist straps on XS model]) to stabilize the load.

Contents inside seem damp after exposure to rain.

Ensure the D-zip flap is fully closed and properly covering the zipper. While the duffel is highly water-resistant, it is not fully submersible. Check that no water entered through the main opening or id window if not properly sealed.

Duffel feels too small for intended use.

The Base Camp Duffel - XS has a 31-liter volume. If this is insufficient, consider a larger size variant from The North Face Base Camp Duffel range. Utilize the internal mesh pockets and compression straps to maximize space efficiency for smaller items.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable and rugged construction
  • High level of water resistance for all-weather protection
  • Multiple comfortable carrying options (duffel and backpack)
  • Effective internal organization pockets
  • Compression straps help manage load size
  • Made with recycled materials

Cons

  • XS size (31L) may be too small for longer trips or bulky gear
  • No external quick-access pockets
  • Rugged material can be stiff, making it less compressible when empty
  • Info needed: [May not stand upright easily when empty]

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Base Camp Duffel is straightforward. To utilize the backpack straps, simply attach them to the designated D-rings on the duffel. Adjust the strap length to ensure a comfortable and ergonomic fit, minimizing twisting on your shoulders.

Compatibility

With a volume of 31 liters and dimensions of 27.94 cm x 45.72 cm x 27.92 cm, the XS Base Camp Duffel is often suitable for carry-on luggage on most airlines, but always check with your specific airline's size restrictions before travel. It's an excellent companion for car trips, short flights, train travel, or as a gear bag for specific activities.

Care

  • Cleaning: The durable, water-resistant material can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow the duffel to air dry completely, especially after being exposed to moisture, to prevent mildew. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your duffel in a cool, dry place. The mesh-bag packaging can be used to keep it clean and protected.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check zippers and straps for wear and tear. Ensure the DWR finish is maintained by cleaning and re-treating if necessary (follow instructions for DWR care products).
