eagle creekNo Matter What Duffel M Bag, Slate Blue

I bought the bag to carry my scuba gear on dive trips. It's perfect for my needs: fits a pair of fins, BCD, Regulator, wetsuit, dive vest, boots, and still has some space left for other stuff, e.g. mask box (although I carry my mask in carry-on). The cinch straps make it easy to make things compact. The top zipper makes it perfect for easy loading and unloading of the gear. Haven't put it through the rigors of a few dive trips yet, but it looks rugged enough to last for years.

Yet to take it on a trip. However, it has most of the features that I was seeking: a) sturdy materials, b) YYK #10 Zipper that allows you to use a TSA lock, c) shoulder strap, d) mouth opens wide allowing easy access to the luggage, and e) can be used as a carry-on or checked in if packed full. Features that I would have liked: a) internal pockets on the side to store the shoulder strap when you check the bag in or keep small items, and b) daisy loops on the sides to hook up a water bottle, a travel pillow, etc with a carabiner. Overall, The "No Matter What" Medium Duffel is a solid bag.PS Checked it in on an international trip where the bag traveled through 4 airports (one in NA, one in Europe, and two in Asia). It performed well!

WowWhen it arrives i didn't know what to think. I had to check t I make sure i had ordered the medium and not small. To say the least this thing is awesome. Size, shape, maternal. Amazing.More once I use it.--Yup this one's a keeper. For, forever, I traveled the world with a backpack. While they maybe look cool, after a while living out of one is a challenge when accessing anything. Too, realistically, I never "hiked" with a backpack, say through Europe or NZ. Hoisting it up and on to go to the airport or Train... Yeah, no.Together with a set of packing cubes and some forward thinking on what you're taking,, I'm inclined to say a duffle bag makes better sense. This one is lightweight, and plenty big enough.Can't wait to use it again.. hopefully SOON.updated again - I liked this bag so much that I opted to purchase the larger version. The medium is perfect for a smart traveler who's out for a week or more. In my case, I'm relocating and need something can comfortable carry a large amount of clothes, few pairs of shoes, etc. The medium was *just* enough - but a little more room makes life that much easier. I may end up with the small before long for overnight trips.Kudos to Eagle Creek for an amazing product.

Purchased for an African Safari vacation. We were very limited in size, format (must be soft sided), and weight for small aircraft and helicopter flights in Africa. We’re able to use as carry-on on all flights, including long-haul and shorter flights. Simple, used packing cubes for organization, , holds a large amount, durable. These bags were perfect!

Excellent quality, durability, looks good. Has a nice weight to it without being heavy. Opens up nice and wide. Folds up nice and easy. This duffel is sold at some top of the line department stores.. I purchased two other duffels for my kids from other manufacturers and without a doubt this Eagle Creek will stand the test of time while the other two will not last more than a couple of years with limited use (ok for kids though).

Got a warehouse deal on this and it was in pristine condition when received. Kudos to amazon. I like the back. Wish it had more smaller pockets though or more interior loops you can hook smaller bags too. Like the pack it sacs eagle creek sells. That would certainly improve the interior packing space.

Very good durable quality bag - used for snorkeling gear on trip -also put shoes in bag -had wheeled bags before and can be heavy but this bag is light - has suitcase sleeve opening - used as checked baggage - would need the small size for carryon

Best purchase for the money if you travel a lot. We take this in our check-in suitcase as an overflow bag when we travel. It lacks tight and when we come back with additional shopping we just transfer stuff to this either to check-in or carry on. Great quality and amazing amount of space
