When it's time for the really big things, the Base Camp Duffel XL from The North Face comes into its own. It offers 132 litres of volume and can, at least in theory, still be carried using the detachable shoulder straps. The travel bag is made from water-repellent, abrasion-resistant PVC, while the even more robust base is made from polyamide. All seams are double stitched. The D-shaped, water-repellent zip is concealed under a cover for safety. And it makes it easy for you to search your luggage. Inside, mesh pockets help you keep things organised and prevent dirt from getting everywhere. On the outside, you'll find a water-repellent pocket for ID cards and other items, as well as various gear loops and compression straps. And so that you can share the load, the Base Camp Duffel XL has two padded handles.
