Its a great bag, but wish had an end pocket like the similar sized TNF base camp medium duffel! The Patagonia packing cubes esp. 6L are better for toiletries and electronic items (cables, chargers, batteries, camera, etc). I prefer the eBags packing cubes for clothes.
I use a duffel carry-on because airlines limit us to 15 - 17 pounds ... and an empty wheeled bag will average at least 7 pounds ... leaving only 8 pounds for my clothes.
Absolutely. The hard plastic and wheels add so much weight to either a checked bag or carry on. I can pack more stuff by eliminating the wasted weight of a roller bag.
We’ve had good luck with our Gearheads taking a 60L black hole onto the majority of planes. However, some of the smaller puddle jumpers can create issues
@@samuele5931 well I have the big one. It can hold a ton of stuff, has plenty of pockets, there's removable back pack style straps. They're very comfortable, The bag comes in a whole bunch of different color schemes. There's a lifetime warranty if anything happens to it and I doubt that anything will happen because it's the toughest duffle by long shot that I've owned. The only thing I would do differently if they had an outside pocket on one of the end caps for muddy wet clothes or shoes. And that's another thing I've had this bag sitting in downpours and never got anything wet inside
We've had Gearheads get away with a 60L black hole for a trip to Japan. It's manageable, but you will have to be very creative with your packing and outerwear / layering solutions! PSA: always keep your boots with you
I actually have the same problem - a two week trip to Japan and I am looking for large backpacks as a suitcase would be too much hassle. What is my concern tho - does anyone have a real world experience having this on their backs? Is it comfy after a few days of walking around? What would be the most comfortable option from this line of duffels? @@backcountry @giorgiomalesan193

Neither of these idiots thought to show the actual inside of the bag?.....
Gotta have a black hole in the gear closet
Learned how to fasten the D ring / wasn’t sure how that worked so your vid helped! Thanks!
Just got one, but I'm worried if it's too large for a carry on, what y'all think?

@@backcountry rad good to know, thanks!
I do Muay Thai, would this be a good bag for the gym?
Absolutely!
Best travel bag I personally ever owned
Why?

Can I face a two-week trip to Japan with a 70l black hole? is it big enough?
