Customer Reviews Fjällräven Duffel No. 4

I am a male and purchased this duffel bag for general use. The bag itself is of top quailty, however it looks exactly like a ladies handbag. I ordered in black yet when on my arm it just looks like I'm holding an over sized ladies bag. I think it's because of the handles which are longer than usual giving it a purse look instead of a duffel look.

This is an awesome bag. Well constructed and it looks great. The leather handles give it a nice touch making the bag a perfect combination of rugged and stylish. I was looking for a bag to handle a quick overnight or a weekend trip. Something small but not too small. Ideally around 35 liters. This was smaller than that but fits a surprising amount. I took it on a recent weekend trip to Seattle and packed all of the following (pair jeans, 2 pairs socks, 2 pairs underwear, 4 shirts, sweater, scarf, sleep shirt and shorts, dopp kit, umbrella, and iphone charger). I still had room to spare. I bought some shoes and a new jacket while I was there and was able to stuff these in on the way home. When full the side pockets won't accommodate anything bulky but great for cords and such. Also when it's totally full the longer straps didn't fit too easily over the shoulder so I had to hold the handles by hand. Only bummer with such a bag in airports or when traveling is when you are in long lines or walking a long distance it's not as nice as a roller. But I knew this going into it. The bag is exactly what I was looking for. Also the zippers are very smooth and the metal loop on the main zipper is a nice little detail that makes unzipping the bag really easy. This would make a great gym bag as well. If you need a bigger bag go for the large version. This bag is perfect however for overnights, a quick weekend, and the gym and looks good even when not full. You can tell it will last a long time. Very happy with my purchase.

I ordered the Duffel Bag #4 Large in Uncle Blue for my girlfriend. She will be going in for knee surgery soon. She just loves the bag, but I was wondering, is it waterproof? Is there somewhere on the bag where she can put a luggage ID tag? Thank you.
