Comments about The North Face Base Camp Duffel Trans-Antarctica - Spring 2008:

The vinyl will hold up to pony, yak or mule sweat where cordura will not. It has survived some tough trips and rough handling just fine. The shoulder straps are useful in bus depots and airports but not a subsitute for a backpack. Pricey but flashy in orange, so it's easy to find in the gear pile.

Comments about The North Face Base Camp Duffel Trans-Antarctica - Spring 2008:

Vinyl is tough and necessary to ensure contents remain clean/dry in extreme uses. This one held up to 4 weeks on a pony or yak where the animal sweat soaked right through Cordura. Pricey. The shoulder straps are useful in Customs lines or bus depots. Otherwise, there are few frills on this basic duffel.

Comments about The North Face Base Camp Duffel Trans-Antarctica - Spring 2008:

Excellent backup bag. Works well on extended trips, serving as a bag to use for side trips, allowing main luggage to be left behind. Because of sturdy construction it does not serve well as the "packed backup bag to provide overflow capacity if luggage goes overweight." Same construction makes this an excellent choice as a checked bag to be used on a regular basis.
