The perfect bag for short trips. It fits a surprising amount of gear and was then the ideal size for carry-on.

I bought this backpack more than five years ago and shortly after my first trip, I gave away all my other suitcases and travel bags. I've used it for long weekend trips to resorts, week long cruises, and for international trips of almost two months. I have been able to claim it as my personal item, carry-on or checked baggage. I love this bag. This page doesn't even mention that it folds up to a purse size bag when you store it between trips. I'm a 75yo woman who finds it comfortable enough to carry on my back so I can dash between terminals, run to catch a train or bus, or walk across the city to my hotel.

This is a great duffel bag with plenty of space and a practical design. It feels durable, is easy to carry, and the 42L size is perfect for short trips or weekend travel. I’m very happy with it and would recommend it.

I haven’t had the chance to travel with this bag yet, but my first impression is excellent. The 42L size feels like a great middle ground—large enough for a weekend trip or several days of travel without feeling oversized. The materials feel substantial, the construction looks very well done, and I really like the overall organization and versatility of the design. I purchased several pieces from the Base Camp Voyager collection at the same time, and I’m looking forward to using them together on upcoming trips.

Good size for both a backpack and a duffel bag. Easy to switch between both modes.

Very sturdy duffel bag and perfect size for carry on. The only downside is maybe the duffel straps can’t be tucked well when in backpack mode. Otherwise everything else is fantastic

This bag is perfect for short weekend trips, I can pack all my fits and extra shoes. It’s small enough to take as a personal item on flights but big enough to pack everything you need!

Amazing bag! Great for travel. It fits more than expected. Perfect as a carry-on bag

Bought recently since my 20 year old gym bag just can’t keep it together. I like that it can be carried like a bag OR it has storable shoulder straps to make it a backpack. Also conveniently folds up into a very small item.

I bought this duffle for my 2 week trip, already have a North Face carry on luggage but needed additional space. It was great enough space and great quality as always. Very convenient that you can also convert it into a backpack.

I love this bag. It's my second one. I just place an order for this The North Face Base Camp Voyager Duffel 42L in a color: Twilight Galaxy/Tnf Black with a excellent price but I had to return because the person in charge to pack and ship my order DID NOT paid attention to the order information and sent black instead the color that I ordered. To bad because they do not have the bag anymore. Despoiled.

First, I love that this compacts into itself for easy storage. The 62L provides ample room for packing for just about any trip. The separation divider was key in keeping things organized. Backstraps are extremely helpful for carrying and are pretty comfortable. Would recommend!

I bought this to replace my old gym bag. This thing holds all my gear to include a change of clothes. It’s pretty much bullet proof.

Used this as a weekend bag for two people. Love the organization this allows. Shoes on the side, laptop sleeve for quick access things, and the adaptable/removable organizer. Made it quick to divide the main compartment into his/her sides. Was comfortable to wear as a backpack (the shoulder straps did not feel like they were digging into me despite the duffel being full) and not awkward to hand hold as a duffel. I also appreciated how quickly the backpack straps were to unclip and tuck away (can't be done for the XS base camp and is a hassle for the S base camp). I think the best part was the simplicity of folding into itself when done (much easier than the traditional base camp design where you have a separate storage bag). Seeing the 32L have the water bottle holder makes me wish they worked that into the 42L size, but it's not a dealbreaker. I have the Base Camp (original design) in XS, S, and M and will be reaching for the 42L voyager from now on as long as i don't need the additional space of the M Base Camp.

I'm obsessed with this new buy! I fit 5-7 outfits in this, as well as a pair of shoes, and other miscellaneous items. It will also be perfect for my hikes. Best $90ish dollars spent. It can be used as a duffel or a backpack with the straps. The material/quality seems legit and like it should last for many moons. Definitely buy it if you like to hike/travel.
