I have the XL duffel and it is great i can fit all my clothes and my ski clothes for college all in one duffel bag, this is what I was really looking for in a duffel bag.
Great Bag
This duffel is a superb example of what an expedition duffel should be. It is durable, holds a lot of gear, and is comfortable when using the shoulder straps. The mesh interior pocket is good for storing and locking up things while on the trail.
Only negative, is that because of it looks so durable some airlines tend to treat it with less respect.
Wonderful
Best price, rapid delivery. Can't beat these folks.
Have had several of these bags. Have taken them all over the world and they are still going strong. Also nice that they are easily found by airlines of developing countries that lose them.
Now, give them as graduation gifts. Always a hit
The BOMB!
This duffel is so simple yet has all the convenient features you could hope for. The shoulder/backpack straps makes for easy transport vs. awkwardly lugging it by your side, and the D-zip flap gives effortless access to everything inside. I have the XL, which isn't too big and the black topo is a fun way to spice up black luggage. The only way the bag could be better is if it had an internal pocket.
Top notch
After ordering this I bought an REI for a cheaper price thinking that I would just return this when it came in but one look at the bombproof material and construction in this bag, plus the little extras like shoulder straps and the extra compartment in the lid made me change my mind. This product is a keeper.
Probably the best bag ever
I've put this thing thru 5 years worth of steady airline travel and haven't had a tear or rip happen yet. (knock on wood). Great material, built tough.
Awesome Bag! Love it!
I purchased this as an addition to the Large duffel that I bought a while back. I really like the (medium)size for a weekender or carry-on. You can really cram a lot into it and its very durable/wipeable. With North Face, you really can't go wrong.
Awsome bag
Bought this bag for a cruise. It was great for bring back thoes little extras. Side straps to take up slack when needed. Water proof. Heavy duty material. Looks like me and this bag will be around for a good long while.
great bag
This bag works really well for someone who travels alot and has demanding requirements for hauling their gear. I have one that has been to the South Pole and back a couple of times, far into the wilds of Alaska and across country on the back of a motorcycle. They work great for a trip log too, a Sharpie records each trip I take on it. The opening allows for effective packing, it's comfortable to carry and extremely durable plus pretty waterproof. I give them as gifts to fellow adventure travelers.
Excellent duffel
I do a lot of sailing and you can't take hard luggage on a boat. So, the North Face duffel is excellent for that. I now own 3 different sizes of this duffel and love the shoulder straps. Makes it much easier to handle this bag - excellent quality just a little pricey.
North Face Duffle
The NF duffle was a graduation gift for an extreme nephew. I purchased him the large in yellow as you can’t loose it among a crowd. I purchased the medium black for my daughter who works for Red Bull and is a Professional Ski Instructor. I have the XL yellow that has been all over transporting diving gear, motorcycle trials gear and ski gear. The zippers are finally getting loser after 7 years; I expect this bag will last my life time. I have a picture of my 8 year old son zipped up in the bag. Maybe high end on the price scale, but this bag rocks & rocks!
it could be love.
Used it in Maine last weekend--seemed waterproof to me---no snow got in, kept it uncovered in the back of a pick-up for 500 miles some of it in a constant rain--stayed dry. Great size. I attached hiking poles and snowshoes to the bag. It could be love.

Large Base Camp Duffel
Excellent purchase. Just took it on a 5 day trip to Snowbird and it was perfect. It was a little tight with ski boots but did the job. The backpack was great for airport travel!

This bag is all you need. It is lightweight and collapses easily. The backpack straps make it easy to carry around. It's also really tough and lasts a lifetime.

All-Star
This bag is so durable and great. I use it to travel...I use it to camp I use it to store stuff in my closet when I'm not out and about. By far one of the best duffle/backpacks on the market. I highly recommend also buying the smaller one to complete the set. Boys you will never use a suitcase again if you buy the set. Unless your wife makes the decisions.....which I won't touch on right now. Get your credit card out, you won't be disappointed!!!

Great Advertised!!
Plenty of room. Awesome bag. Easy to carry. Made it thru 6 airports no problem. carry straps help me move all my gear without a hitch. Only problem I found was, it was too easy to fit in extra stuff. Backpack trip into Colorado Wilderness was a snap. I read above advice about water proofness?? So,I packed everything in waterproof bags. Durable and reliable. It will carry whatever you need with ease. Great Buy!!

Roomy and easy to carry
I bought the XL and it is big enough for all my travels. The backpack straps make carrying a full load a breeze, and the bag is tough enough to withstand the not-so-gentle care meted out by airport baggage handlers.

This bag is huge, it holds everything. It is incredibly tough, you could haul it up a wall. I like dragging it through airports.

Excellent Product, even better service
I run a stock operation for a large national park. I tried to purchase these particular bags from another vendor and was pandered too. Altrec supplied the duffles fast and they are now traveling through the seirra's on mule back. Great Product.
Had to return the product
Love to review the product, but unfortunately had to return it. I will say that the shopping experience at Altrec is as good as I have ever had online. Very impressive!

Awesome piece of equipment
This bag is great for day trips out to the park/ beach/ or around town to pack all those just in case items. It's damn sharp looking too and gets more compliments then most of my wardrobe. Working outdoors you don't have to worry about a sudden change in the weather due to the bags waterproof properties
