Customer Reviews The North Face Base Camp Duffel - Medium

I own the older style duffle which is a medium and it has served me very well and i have been super happy with it. I went and bought the newer style taking a chance since I need a new bag and it is just horrible. The inside is way smaller then the older medium and even taking into account the outside pouch i at them next to one another. it was an obvious difference with $ inches missing and the the end compartment taking up even more room. I have never used the backpack straps in all these years and only the velcro hand straps. I dont even want this new style bag at all. I have been searching for an old one...

I have been using you bags for years. 1 ea. Small, med and large. Wanted a new med. size. I never use them as a backpack, have always wished it just had a shoulder strap. I get my new bag and some design genius has taken the handles off. The new end pocket is a nice added touch, but the little side handles are just plain stupid. Patagonia is calling my name.

I too ordered these bags (a small and a medium) after hearing rave reviews from friends - and even seeing the bags in action. But when mine arrived I quickly saw that without carry handles, getting it in and out of vehicles or quick grab and goes, Would be terribly inconvenient and frustrating. Hope you guys correct that Next season. I am returning these, but would buy them with that simple fix.

I only ever leave reviews if I feel strongly about an item!!! Bought the xl duffel yesterday after friends said it's the best bag ever for all round use......got it home to find that north face no longer put top handles on the bags... how can a bag not have handles!!!! Anyway bag returned rant over!!!19/12/16

I don't like this product at all and returned it. I went and looked for something like it and found the patagoina duffle. It has everything I wanted in this bag and it's better quality.
