These duffel bags are the definition of Alpine Threadworks; function without excess, style, and mind-blowing durability. I am very proud of these unique duffel bags. These duffels are superior for 2 main reasons:
1) Durability and waterproofness. Cordura outer fabric, truck-tarp/drybag liner fabric, triple layer bottom. The kicker is that I do all the sewing to the outer cordura fabric, then sew in the waterproof truck tarp liner fabric. This means that there and NO needle holes in the waterproof truck-tarp fabric. The North Face™ makes their duffels from a single layer of truck tarp fabric, which then gets peppered full of needle holes....sorry boys but that ain't waterproof.
2) Function without excess. The main handles double as fully padded, articulated backpack straps. Carry the bag in traditional duffel style or use the very same handles to wear it as a backpack so your hands are free to carry your skis or surf board! :)
[please note the small size is a standard duffel design and does NOT have the backpack handles or truck tarp liner.]
