- This isn’t the burliest bag on the market and is prone to wear and tear, particularly on airplanes.
- There are no side-straps on the ends of the duffel.
- Although users like the internal waterproof compartment, some feel it takes up too much of the bag.

- Limited color options and a very conspicuous logo.
Summary:
The Backcountry All Around 60L Duffel is a versatile duffel suitable for airplane travel, camping, car travel, international backpacking, and everything in between. Users particularly love the gear-separation compartment that can keep dirty clothes or shoes away from the main compartment, and the compression straps that keep gear in place. This duffel does lack a bit in durability and waterproofing, especially compared to bags at similar price points.
