Now a year old, and with serious air miles behind it, my Mountain Equipment duffel has now become a fond travelling companion. Its had altitude sickness in Chamonix, seen geysirs in Iceland, and been on countless climbing excursions. Yet it still looks like new.
A take on the original and 'famed' North Face duffel bag, the Mountain Equipment is a cheaper alternative to the 'King' of the duffels. However the price does not compromise on quality, and seems to be just as hard wearing for day to day use. It also has the advantage of having a waterproof storage compartment, which allows wet stuff to be kept from the dry stuff. This addition is also vital for any climbers out there who wish to keep smelly shoes from fresh clothes!
However the carrying straps, which are 'supposed' to double up as shoulder straps are extremely uncomfortable, and so it is not recommended for any form of long hikes!
