Eagle Creek No Matter What Duffel M Bag, Slate Blue

We have two of these now for a safari for 2. They are the right size and weight, and very sturdy. You have to be careful not to pack too much so it stays within the weight guidelines. We are using a variety of packing cubes. I think the shoulder strap will come in handy too.

I have taken this bag on US Navy ships twice (lots of sharp and unforgiving steel corners and such) as well as put it through checked luggage on roughly 10 trips (20+ individual flights total) since I bought this bag in 2021. It's still going strong. The zipper is quality, the material is durable. The water resistance is sufficient - I've had it in the rain and nothing was wet inside, though I haven't tried truly soaking it on purpose. It fits as much if not more than a large suitcase but weighs way less. Obviously, it doesn't have wheels and it's softer than even a softside luggage as it is a BAG so it might not fit all your travel needs, but I have actually used this bag for checked luggage instead of a normal spinner suitcase ever since I bought it. Some tips: Get a TSA approved combo lock, you can lock the zippers shut. Also the two hand carry straps can double as backpack straps letting you wear the bag as a backpack, though if the bag is packed with a lot of heavy stuff, trying to backpack it will definitely hurt your shoulders as I do not think this was an intended use of those straps - there's no shoulder padding and they're not adjustable, they really aren't meant to be used as backpack straps but I mention it anyway because it works in a pinch for short movements where you need free hands. I highly recommend this product to anyone that is on the search for a quality duffle.

I bought this bag earlier this year and have already used it for both local US and international flights. It’s very durable, with no tears or damage so far. The quality is excellent and it’s definitely worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Excellent bag. It's water/weather resistant, but as it gets used that will get somewhat scuffed up and compromised. Nice, sturdy design and construction, comfortable straps. Folds up nicely, which I really appreciated when I was using it. I was living in rural Rwanda, and would take weekend trips into Kigali once a month or so. I could bring a couple changes of clothes in my regular backpack, plus my laptop, and this duffel folded up. Once in the city I could go shopping and fill this thing to the brim with food that I couldn't get out in my little village, and then head back out. I was passed down a 20+ year old Eagle Creek duffel from my family, which was still in pretty good condition, which led me to buy this offering from Eagle Creek. Absolutely no regrets, and I will be happy to purchase another one in the future if the old one wears out.

Bought this to replace an old heavyweight cordura nylon bag that's been around the world a few times. That one stood up to tons of abuse and only failed when baggage handlers tore off the zipper pulls. This Eagle Creek bag seems sturdy but I suspect it's easier for baggage handlers to puncture or rip than cordura as they tend to slam things around with little regard. The "no matter what" warranty sounds awesome but if the bag fails and stuff is lost in a cargo hold someplace, it's all academic. On the positive side, It holds a surprising amount of gear and is easy to carry. I was concerned about the lack of a structured floor or wheels but after test-packing I realized how nicely this carries. It will be ok. I like the weather repellent surface. I wait to see if the material breaks down and gets cracked or powdery, I have a ski bag of similar material that did just that, rendering it unusable. This seems like higher quality. So far so good, I like the bag and have high hopes but have yet to turn it over to the airport oompa loompas. Will update as needed.

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!

Wow When 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.

Great Bag! Attractive, light weight, durable and collapses to nothing. Used on Safari in South Africa and even ran 1.5 miles through Johannesburg Airport with this bag. Checked it in Munich on way back to Chicago into cargo and came out looking new still. Plan to use in future as an extra carry on bag returning from trips to bring back shopping loot as it fits nicely inside my suitcase. Only constructive criticism is wish maybe an extra more usable pocket and that it was easier to fold down. But if you are looking for a reliable, durable duffle than this is your bag.

The bag itself is amazing, very well done, resistant, and super comfortable to use in any kind of situation Is also foldable in its bag that is possible to use for the shoe or for the dirty clothes when is empty love it!

A well made, duffel with plenty of room to handle a short or longer trip. Able to be taken as carry-on or check-in baggage. High quality brand, with plenty of features. Love the packing pouch the duffel came in, it is not intended to be thrown away, however can be used as a shoe bag. Will order again.

Lo adquirí para una excursión a una isla y, aunque le cayó un aguacero, nada de los que tenía adentro se mojó. Los materiales son de excelente calidad y se ve que son muy duraderos. Tengo una maleta de la misma marca que compré hace más de 20 años y le he llevado y traído en decenas de viaje en avión y está en perfecto estado. Para mí, es la mejor marca cuando se trata de equipajes.

I have several 133 L bags from Eagle Creek and was happy to find this before a trip. When the bag arrives it is a medium sized 60 L. The description has to be changed!

Ist schon die zweite Tasche aus der Serie, die ich gekauft habe. Bin immer wieder erstaunt, wieviel da so reinpasst. Wird geliefert in einer Aufbewahrungstasche, die ich auf Reisen auch gerne mit nehme und sie mit anderen Dingen befülle.
