The North Face Base Camp Duffel Long Term Review 

Ty for the rly complete & helpful review!! I just got myself a Black Base Camp in XS but was rly indesicive between XS and S. You just reassured me tht XS can rly fit alot 🤩

Thank you for the review! 3 years later and still the best :)

Great review Chris. I agree with you about the material. You just know your stuff won't be getting out. Got a couple, got one for my partner and she loved it. Well worth the money and it just looks great.

Great long term review. Pulled the trigger after watching. Bought two - one for the wife and I.

Thanks for your video and your time, Chris! Greetings from Switzerland.

Great view and super helpful visuals and opinions - Thanks for sharing!

Great review mate! Wasn´t sure but now I am. Ordering one today

great review chris, really helpful and a well made video 😊

Thanks for the video Chris, I have seen this bag at the airport many times and was curious about it, looks like a great bag.

Another great video! Thanks Chris. Keep up the good work!

Can you give a link to the packing cube and the red thing and the mesh bag for the dirty clothes thanks you rock and your compression jacket as well 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Thanks for the review mate. Just wanted to ask if the bag itself is light? Considering buying one for myself after watching ur reviews. Cheers!

Just saw the video from 5 years ago before seeing this one. Lots of improvement. Just got the 50L duffel a few weeks ago but decided to get this one too hoping I can sneak it on some flights as a personal item

Hey Chris when you get the chance, can you review the new 'Voyager' duffle from TNF?

Just wondering if you can use if the straps are long enough to use it over the shoulder like a duffle bag? Thank you great review.

I am going to buy this bag as a complement to a 25L backpack for longer trips. I wish there was a bit of a medium between this and the size S, which is 50L. I would love to see a ~36L version for just a little extra space.

Hey Chris, another great video! I actually bought two of these bags (one for myself and one for my wife) about a month or two ago. While we haven't used them for plane travel yet, they are awesome! We've used them for a couple overnighters and they were amazing - we were able to pack more than enough stuff and some. Like you, my only "con" is the small external pocket. Like the small version I find if you stuff the bag it really impedes the already limited space there is in it.

I just bought the Duffel XS second hand. I'll use it as a sports bag to carry gym rings, resistance bands, something to drink maybe shoes… or whatever i need for that days session. Do you think it's sturdy enough to carry a dumbbell or kettlebell with it? Like 10-15kg?

Great review. for me in addition to all the pros,mentioned biggest thing was being able to take it as a carry-on with the airlines because this comment is now three years later really cracking down on carry-on luggage. This is just small enough like you said to be a personal item. It’s not overpowering so it’s not going to be checked as opposed to other carry-ons that have the wheels and the handles that most airlines will start forcing people now to check. As the airlines are cracking down on carry-ons

Do you think that I can use this for an 3-4 days trip? I had the s but it’s too much and I used it for trips with 8-10 or even more days Great video Chris

Great video Chris!

Thanks, this was helpful

so when you want to use it as an actual duffle you just double strap it , is there a center strap

WATERPROOF???! Please say yes! Awesome video man thank you looks like perfect size for me!

Hi sir , i want to ask . All of that you pack in that bag , it can still fit a 1 pair shoes? Thank you

What colour did you pic

Awesome video!! Can you remove one of strap, then take the other one and unhook one of the end and hook that unhook to the one you remove to form a cross strap?

Great videos Chris! Do you prefer the Base Camp XS over the S? Any issues bringing the S on board as a carry on?

Damn I love that colour way and it’s killing me that I can’t find it in that anymore. (In the uk). Damn

Thanks for the review! I'm looking into purchasing this size bag and was wondering if this would work as a personal item on plane. Does it fit nicely under the seats?

Сумка классная , но почему у нее нет рукояток и плечевого ремня !? Неужели нельзя было сделать быстросъемные плечевые лямки , странно.

Thanks,

Which color is this?

Love the colour just can’t find it on the wensite

Hey! I would like to know which one is fit for an airplane? S or XS?

Would this work as a basketball back pack to carry sport stuff around?

I have the M size and all i can say is that after an hour of usage your back and shoulder will get hurt

If you want sternum and hip straps, get a backpack. The backpack straps on these NF duffels are for short term moving the bags around camp, etc., thus the name "Base Camp".

Is it ok to use it as a small bag on ryanair?

So you think it’s 31L , or 34L??? Haha!Seems like it can fit more...as you and others mentioned, the manufacturer can mislabel the actual capacity...!

No external pockets = no one trying to steal your gear. My bags just go from Car to hotel or airport. Not walking round all day so don’t need external pockets.

This guy from Georgia?🤔
