The North Face Base Camp 95L Duffel for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

I just returned from a week-long business conference. When I realized I was going to have to carry home about 50% more "Stuff" than I went with, I called Backcountry and ordered one of these in Large. I considered XL, but I really like the end compartment in this one and the Medium. My Large arrived the very next day, thanks to my Gearhead, Alex. I stuffed it with my BD Creek 35 bag holding my climbing gear, plus 2 laptops, plus a raincoat and Thermoball jacket plus all sorts of catalogs, notepads, you name it. I even used the mesh bag it came in for my socks-and-undergarments-headed-for-the-laundry, if you know what I mean. Packed, it weighted north of 50 pounds. It easily handled the load and being abused by airport baggage handlers. I actually saw them toss it, upside down, onto the conveyor belt up into the plane belly. I've had numerous Black Hole duffels, but keep coming back to the North Face Base Camp duffels. They can take a beating; that's for sure!

Great duffle. Not very water resistant....

My husband and I both have these bags (He has this one (95L) and I have the 50L) This bag (95L) --He is a geologist and has to pack several weeks worth of clothes into this bag along with boots and other equipment. This size may be over kill for a weekend adventure unless both-you and your spouse-pack in one bag. (we've done that before) I really like the material, it will definitely hold up to abuse. Seems to be very watertight as well and will last many years to come. If you are looking for a "carry on" size check out the 50L

The Base Camp is a great all-around duffel with a sturdy construction and simple design. The multitude of handles makes throwing this bag in a variety of locations easy (I brought it with me for a mult-day mountain biking trip!). The one thing I would change about it is having more compartments in the mesh lid pocket for organizing small objects. As far as water resistance the material and side zippers are great and the flap over the main zippers are good for a light rain but they could have put a more waterproof zipper and flap to be more trustworthy. Overall a great, durable duffel for traveling and car camping but I wouldn't leave it outside the tent during a rainstorm.

I believe this is the best outdoor duffel on the market! It has a pocket, is durable, weather resistant, and is fairly comfy as a backpack. You can toss it around and feel comfortable that you are not ruining anything. I have 2 different sizes for different uses.

Very durable bag. Big enough for any camping trip or weekend getaway. Love it so far. The only complaint I have is that while it does have the backpack straps when needed, it doesn't have just a regular shoulder strap which is its only downfall, in my opinion.

This duffel is on the roof of my buddy’s car right now. And we’re driving across the desert toward snowy mountains. Am I concerned for my down sleeping bag, underwear, or toothbrush inside? Nope. I’ve done this a number of times through muddy, rainy, dusty environments and this bag handles it all.

This bag is so rugged. I love it.

I use this bag to trough all my gear for weekend adventures and for travel. shoulder straps are great for throwing it on your back and taking off. the bag is tough and durable. ive beaten up pretty good and it still looks new

These duffels are the best duffels every made. I personally use mine for everything from moving gear to a friends house to get ready for an adventure to traveling on boats and planes with them regularly.

I bought this for my teenage daughter that has gone through many suitcases, bags and backpacks. This is holding up great. She is hard on everything and it is staying strong, wiping clean and holding up as promised. I may have to buy one for my son ;)

This must be our 6 or 7th TNF duffel. This size is great for an overnighter somewhere or on a flight.

If you need your gear to survive a nuclear apocalypse, this is the duffel for you! The fabric on this bag is incredibly durable, and might even stop a bullet (do not test this please). Besides that, this is a pretty drill-free bag; there are some small pockets on the lid, but that’s its for organization. The shoulder straps are great though, and the bag carries really well when worn as a backpack. The 95L holds a ton of gear, and is perfect for extended trips. I still prefer the Patagonia Black Holes, primarily because they’re really nice looking bags, but this is definitely a close second.

keeps my items for travel out of the elements while in transit also gets me on the plane with a large carry on with the duffel straps for back pack conversion.
