My favorite part about this bag is that it’s semi rigid. It has enough structure to hold itself open while filling. I’ve had a lot of floppy duffels and didn’t realize how much a game changer some rigidity can be.
I use the 55L for my warm water diving gear and the 70L for my cold water diving gear. Incredible bags- my 55 has survived all the elements and airport abuse and boats and monsoons and it’s still perfect!
A lot of airlines are now selling fares that only allow a personal item and a carry-on costs extra. I'm curious if you could get away with the 40L as your "personal item" without them making a fuss that it has to be a carry-on and thus extra charge.
Thanks for this well produced review video on some of Patagonia's most popular travel bag sizes! I have the discontinued 90L bag and LOVE it to death! I've traveled with it extensively through Europe and here in the US. I've traveled to England with my 90L multiple times and experience NO issues from the flight attendants. My 90L Patagonia bag is 3 years old and is holding up well!!!
I was lucky enough to get a 60L, which as mentioned is smaller than the 55L. Had no problems backpacking through southeast asia as a carry on (even on budget airlines). Shame they've discontinued the 60L.
I was hoping you'd explain more of the function side of this style of bag, more so than the capacity. I kind of think that any 40 litre, 45 litre etc. bag would hold the same amount of luggage as what you showed. Maybe explain a bit about the inner mesh pockets, and the outer pocket etc. Also, the loops on the outer side. What purpose can they have? I agree with you, they are a good looking bag, but in terms of capacity, are they really any better than other duffel bags on the market?
Great summary, thank you! Just bought the 70L for big hauls. Saw you use both the suited nomad and tripped compression packs. Do you have any feedback on either/both?
Both packing cubes are incredible! The Suited Nomad cubes can survive any element you throw at them and they are indestructible. The Tripped Compression packs are also super durable and really fit at ton of clothes.
Patagonia eu has the 100l in navy. I’m waiting for the black. Got 4 bags as of now, using them for everything. One 40l, two 55l and one 70l. Need another 55l, 40l and need to find the 100l. Make a video when you get the 100l mate. Thanks.
Hey dude, do you compare the 70L to an equivalent sized wheeled suitcase? do you find it is easier to carry around. Was thinking of getting it as checked baggage for my japan trip (will probably have to take stairs at subway), but I already have a big traditional suitcase, cheers
@@MrSher22 I wouldn’t say it’s a suitcase replacement for me however it’s great as a second bag. What I usually do it take a suitcase and a 70L inside when I’m going on a trip so when I buy loads of clothes or whatever I always have a second bag with me to check in. The bag will get scuffed and you’ll see visible aesthetic damage etc checking in however it should hold up. It is easily carried around with the backpack straps however you must consider weight. As for the size it’s a little smaller than my wheeled suitcase I’d say.
Thank you! Going for the 55L
Super helpful video thanks

So just try a nf duffel! You will notice the difference
exactly what I was looking for man, thanks a lot
Anytime brother!
Very informative review. I've been between the the 55L and 70L. After watching your review, I'm probably going with the 55L.
Just what I needed thanks man! I’ve been trying to decide which size is best for my travels. The 55 looks great
im definitely getting the 55 L, thank you for your video, very in depth!
Great video! I bought the 55L for trips to Iceland and Australia this summer, so I hope I can get away with it as a carryon 🤞
I use the 55L for my warm water diving gear and the 70L for my cold water diving gear. Incredible bags- my 55 has survived all the elements and airport abuse and boats and monsoons and it’s still perfect!
NICE!!! These bags are the best!
You got links to those packing cubes
Got you right here man! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08T5T5FPV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
no sternum strap and hip strap for the large ones? that must be insanely painful to carry on the back when fully packed.
A lot of airlines are now selling fares that only allow a personal item and a carry-on costs extra. I'm curious if you could get away with the 40L as your "personal item" without them making a fuss that it has to be a carry-on and thus extra charge.
you guys sound like awesome parents i’d love to travel that much as a kid. thanks for this amazing and helpful review
Dang a 40L everyday bag is crazy to me haha.

Kevin! Thanks for the kind words my brother! The 90L is a beast! Glad to see it’s treating you well and seeing the world with you!
you’re taking that as a carry on??!
@@soupafleye Yes, I have taken it on the plane as a carry on when I’ve flown to Europe.
@@Metal_Face_Doom haha try that as carry on at a european budget airline.
@@Xia-hu I definitely wouldn’t do it on small airlines no matter the country
Got the 40L, 55L, and 70L. Hope you can find the 100L because they are in stock with Patagonia and REI (but not sure if they ship to DE)
Luckily we have a box on base!
Check baggage only, 70 or 100L?
100L always…BUT, the 70L is more than capable for a few week trip’s worth of stuff.
I was lucky enough to get a 60L, which as mentioned is smaller than the 55L. Had no problems backpacking through southeast asia as a carry on (even on budget airlines). Shame they've discontinued the 60L.
The 60L was literally the perfect sized bag for everything! Long trips, short trips…everything!
Same same. 60L no problem in Southeast Asia.
I like your style! Likeminded sweet bags 💯
What’s brands your go to for packing cubes?
How many liters allowed as check in baggage in saime Airlines
Depends on the country.
@TreyDaze in Philippines..i have 58liter under armour duffel bag..what dou you think
@@miolomascual5337 You should be okay as long as you can squish it lol.
@TreyDaze but how many liter ar normally acceptable for duffel bags
@@miolomascual5337 The max is usually 45L for carry on.
How much can you fit in a large suited nomad packing cube?
You can easily get 5 pairs of tshirts and jeans inside.
Super helpful helped me figure out what I needed for traveling/ diving/ camping

Good tip. The 55 is the sweet spot.
How much does the 70l weigh when loaded?
