Customer Reviews The North Face Base Camp Duffel - Extra Large

I needed a bag that that will be fine in the back of a truck in the rain. Now this is my everyday travel bag. This bag is great as a carry on and just as good strapped to a paddle board

Awesome bag. I love the face pocket that is not present in my older models. The only drawback compared to my older duffels is the lack of strap adjustability. The webbing does not lengthen enough for a comfortable over the shoulder carry.

I use this bag everyday for work school and gym. It carries my belongings, is waterproof and easy to carry. If I had to add anything, it would be a shoulder strap.

Awesome bag, very rugged.

Is a great bag but I wish the small size came with a hand handle or cross shoulder strap. So it can be use as a duffel and not just a backpack. Or at least ones that are sold separately. I'm 5'3 and the small is really bulky on my back. But other than that is great quality bag .

Used it for a weekend trip. Great size for carry on.

My husband and I are currently in Turkey and both packed our Base Camp Duffel bags for our 12-day trip. I used the small size and was able to fit everything I needed. The best part is that it works as a carry-on! The backpack straps are very functional, but unfortunately, my least favorite part. As I was running the straps through the plastic connectors, I was having a hard time with the right side. Turns out, it was sewn on upside down. The straps slip through the bottom connectors easily, making it difficult to adjust the strap size in a pinch. Other than the backpack straps, there is no other functional handle on the top of the duffel bag, making you use it as a backpack only. The medium size that my husband uses cannot be used as a carry-on, but does have the backpack straps and a handle. All in all, this is a great product and we've really enjoyed using our bags so far! Can't wait to see what other trips these bags join us on!

I love the bag. Not too big and not too small. Fits in the over head bin. It needs the two long straps that come together as one so you can carry it with one hand. I love that you can use it as a back pack as well, just not all the time.

Used this to backpack through Iceland and it was the perfect bag!

great product. pack pack straps could be improved a little.

I use this duffel for weekend trips and have the small size. It is perfect for this use. The material is heavy duty and although it may weigh a bit more to start off with, the straps are comfortable enough to carry it without complication. I love the camo design! I do wish the side pocket was the same as the side pocket on the medium size duffel. I do really love this bag and plan to buy the medium size one eventually to have a bit larger capacity.

This bag is great for overnight trips. My only complaint is that it does not have a single strap like the M/L bag, but other than that it is great bag.

Great for an airline carry on based on its bold apperances and colors. Bonus points for its ability to transform from a backpack to duffel. As tough as hard luggage with the ability to pack flat when empty.

The bag is nice, well put together and sturdy. It's sturdiness though gives it a bit of weight relative to size. The backpack straps are very useful and one of its most attractive features compared to similar bags from other companies. I do however wish it was easier to carry like a traditional duffel but doesn't have the standard straps.

That's my second one, I got the first one 6 years ago and it is still pretty steady. Now I got one more. This version is better than previous ones, but the main hustle is it not being as comfortable to carry as a backpack...so take that into account if you are planning a longer trip.

I use 2 different sizes (S & L) and I love them. Only in size S, I miss this end-cap zippered compartment recently introduced for the larger bags. If this is going to be avaible, I'll buy a new one and rate it with 5*.

Love the duffel line, own five bags of various sizes. Would like to see a buckle clip added to the backpack straps, for easy removal and access at airport and final destination.

Very durable and practical, perfect for citytrip or as sport Bag

As someone who lives international and travels for work and play the North Face Duffel bags are a must! Solid choice for durability, space, quality and comfort!

Love this bag. I initially purchased the medium size for a 3 week trip through Southern Spain. The shoulder straps were comfortable As a gym bag, I carry a complete change of clothes incl. shoes, my work laptop, and a windbreaker in the bag each day. There is plenty of room to spare- enough to double as a weekender bag (Or even a work week trip for consultants) Two small areas for improvement for the SMALL size - I would have liked to have sacrificed some room in the main compartment t expand the side pocket such that it carries the same dimensions of the side pocket of the medium sized duffel - I love that my northface backpacks have chest straps. This would solve issues where the shoulder straps sometimes slid off my shoulders.

great bag. sizing is perfect for me - can fit all the gear i need daily for Muay Thai / BJJ and also can use for a week long trip. feels comfortable on your back, looks awesome. only improvement i would make is make the bag more compartmentalized, with a larger separate top section like the Medium size North Face duffel

Perfect bag to take to the gym or as a carry on. Will be using anywhere from boating to business trips; large or small enough to fit my every need.

I love this bag. It's very versatile. Great to use as a gym bag, as well as a carry-on for traveling. I also own the medium-sized duffel which I use for longer trips. Great product.

Great bag. Will last forever.

This is the 5th member of my base camp duffel collection. I have two of the extra large duffels, a large and a medium. Each is good for a different purpose. This one I got as part of a gift card north face issued me. I didn't really need another one, but since I had a gift card I got this bag and have fallen in love with it. It is great for keeping gym clothes in. Is durable so it can withstand whatever weather gets thrown at it while on my back and is the perfect size for work out clothes, a towel and shoes. It also has an additional pocket on the outside which is good for storing phone keys and wallet for use after the gym. It has become my daily bag.
