The North Face Duffels & Luggage
Frequently asked questions
Is the Base Camp Duffel waterproof?
The Base Camp Duffel is highly water-resistant and keeps contents dry in rain and splashes, but it is not a sealed dry bag for full submersion. For guaranteed dryness, a dedicated waterproof duffel or dry bag is the better choice.
Which Base Camp Duffel size is carry-on?
The XS and S Base Camp Duffels generally meet cabin size limits, though allowances vary by airline. Check your airline's dimensions against the size listed on the product page before you fly.
Can you carry the Base Camp Duffel as a backpack?
Yes. The duffels come with padded, removable shoulder straps that let you wear the bag as a backpack, which is handy over rough ground or long distances.
Which duffel size should I choose for my trip?
As a rough guide, the XS and S sizes suit weekends and cabin travel, the M and L cover most week-long trips and gear-heavy weekends, and the XL and XXL are for expeditions or hauling bulky kit. It is worth sizing up if you carry sleeping bags or ski gear, since duffels swallow awkward shapes better than hard cases. Remember a fully packed large duffel gets heavy, so keep airline weight limits in mind.
