Our verdict

Reasons to buy

  • Highly versatile as you can carry it in different ways. You can carry it as a duffle bag, backpack, or messenger bag.
  • A large opening to the main compartment really streamlines the loading and unloading process.
  • The zippers are lockable which can add security to your bag and things inside it.

Things to consider

  • You can't open the bag without putting it down when in backpack mode.
  • Could use some more organization.
  • Lacks a water bottle compartment.

What reviewers said

  • "If you want a versatile travel bag, carry-on friendly (as a soft luggage, meeting the 22x35x56cm restrictions despite it is a tad larger at 24x32x60cm), one you can take to the gym, to basketball, for a few days trip with several changes of clothes, toiletries, equipment, an extra pair of shoes, etc, then this is the bag for the job."
  • "This is the perfect versatile weekend away bag. I wanted it for ease of use on planes, wearing on my back and getting in and out of like a suitcase. 10/10"
  • "Bag is a perfect size and versatile to go with you on any day, whether it is for gym kit after work or a hike day in the bush. Love the functional compartments and the fact that it is padded, so your goods are protected."
  • "This duffle/backpack is perfect for short trips and can hold enough clothing for a week, or more, away. It's just the right size to be carry on - as long as you don't overstuff it. Good to be able to use as backpack when walking too."
