Originally used by sailors, duffel bags are a versatile style of bag now popular for sport and travel. Key characteristics of a duffel bag are a spacious main compartment with additional smaller compartments or pockets; it should be made from durable, hard-wearing materials; and generally, offer multiple ways of carrying like grab handles, an over-the-shoulder strap or backpack-style shoulder straps. Compared to a traditional gym bag, a duffel bag usually has more space, better internal organization, and the option of carrying it comfortably on your back. A duffel bag usually has a wider opening in comparison to a backpack, for quicker access to and oversight of your gear. The perfect versatile solution for keeping things organized on the move.

Can all deuter duffel bags be carried like a backpack?
Yes. The deuter Duffel bags have a carry system that works like a backpack, no matter what size or model. If you like to be prepared for any eventuality, then check out the deuter Duffel Pro bag. Not only does it offer ample space for all your gear, but this travel bag / backpack combo is also waterproof.
Do all the Duffel bag models comply with airline carry-on restrictions?
Some of our duffle bag models can be used as hand luggage. These include, the Duffel 35 and Duffel Pro 40 (check with your airline). The other travel backpack / bag combinations are not carry-on compatible – and therefore offer more stow space.
Please note: Carry-on dimensions for hand luggage vary from one airline to another. Make sure you check whether your duffel bag fits the dimensions listed for the airline carrier you plan to use.
