Customer Reviews The North Face Base Camp Duffel XL

material is pretty stiff especially right out of the package but it'll relax itself after a bit. zippers are a bit stiff too but some wax fixes it right up.

Use for traveling. Love how big it is, the backpack straps, it's durability.

Hands-down, the most indestructible duffel bag you'll ever buy. I've had mine over 25 years and they're still going strong They've been on countless out of state, hunting trips and expeditions

So cool, so functional and so well made

These bags are the best. The XL has the better carrying strap configuration than the XXL. We have had these bags for years and are slowly replacing them. Great that you can carry as a backpack for when the stuff hits the fan and roller bags are not an option.

We bought this for packing 2 sets of dive gear and it works marvelously. The back pack straps are a game changer!

Great for travel Gym bags Storage and it's very durable

I love this bag, it's tough and it's huge!!!

As a professional guide, I rely on gear that can withstand the harshest conditions. The Base Camp DuffelXL (132L) from The North Face has proven to be an indispensable part of my kit, particularly during Aconcagua season. This duffel is my go-to for transporting equipment on mules up to Plaza de Mulas, where it endures constant friction and rough handling. Its burly construction from water and tear-resistant Base Camp fabric ensures it survives the journey unscathed. Even when left outside my tent, I trust it to keep snow and moisture out, protecting my gear in unpredictable mountain weather. While some duffels offer additional features, the Base Camp Duffel excels in what matters most to me: durability. This bag was built for the world's toughest terrains, and its legacy is clear from the scuff marks that tell stories of adventures past. Its rugged design and dependable performance make it, in my opinion, the best duffel for expeditions like these. Whether you're scaling Himalayan peaks or leading treks in the Andes, this bag is an icon of resilience. It's the last duffel you'll ever need.

Such an amazing bag for both just basic traveling as well as for storing gear. My boyfriend loved it! It's super heavy duty and very water proof

The bag is great! It is mostly water proof and has plenty of space. The zippers are a little clunky and stick sometimes. Over all an amazing purchase.

I moved from MD to NY with this bag. Solid bag.

Great bag and high quality. Worked great for my job (wildland fire fighter). Rugged enough for the job but flexible enough to stuff all my gear in without things getting stuck or hung up when I put it in. I can fit 14 days of clothes, a tent, pad, sleeping bag and my shower bag with room to spare. All around great bag.

the back of our trunk got flooded 3" deep with water when a seal on the trunk let a bunch of unpredicted rainstorm water. everything in regular bags soaked. nothing inside the duffel got wet.

This bag is awesome. My dad and brother both have one, so I decided it was time I got one for myself. We use it for all kinds of things, so durability is its best quality.

Honestly the best quality and space a traveling duffel bag could have. I had a medium sized duffel bag that I still use today and would travel planes, trains and automobiles and it holds up for every single trip. Highly suggest this duffel and hard to find a better quality bag.

This bag is exactly what we wanted, it replaced a previous NorthFace bag that we used for over 10 years I travels world wide. Highly recommend, very sturdy

I bought this bag for an international flight and plan to use it for many upcoming trips. Great construction and I am glad I bought the XL- the XXL might be the move if you need even more space but the XL is BIG!!

Nice bag. Had one back in the day that was warranty replaced with this. Hope to give it many years of good use.

I ultimately returned this bag in exchange for the medium version. The medium is still very spacious for what I intend to use my bag for. I started boxing and needed a bag to hold two pairs of sneakers, boxing gloves, and other potential gear I may need to carry. This XL version is enormous and would be great for a potential weeklong trip somewhere. The quality is amazing but be sure to pick the right size for what you need it for.

Wonderful bag for running around!

Love this bag, very good quality and I have used it several times and it has a ton of features and storage!

Waterproof and roomy! Perfect for my trek on Kilimanjaro!

Great product to supplement the rolling duffel.

Ordered this first bag as a test run, replaced all my luggage with North Face Duffels. Excellent bags.
