Inspired by the rugged legacy of The North Face’s iconic Base Camp duffel, the Base Camp Voyager Duffel 42L brings a fresh level of thoughtful design and everyday versatility to the competitive adventure duffel category.

Built from recycled polyester and made to endure, it skillfully bridges the gap between outdoor resilience and city-smart organization.

Right now, REI is offering a rare opportunity to grab this do-it-all duffel in a timeless TNF Black/TNF White colorway for under $100.

Here’s a rundown of the standout features that set this bag apart.

Features Galore

The main compartment features an adjustable divider that allows you to section off packing zones for better organization—or remove it entirely if you’d rather use the full 42 liters of space without interruption.

What makes the Base Camp Voyager stand out is its combination of rugged build quality and thoughtful design. Constructed from 300D recycled polyester tarpaulin with a TPU laminate and reinforced with 840D recycled ballistic nylon, the bag offers durability that resists moisture and abrasions while still feeling surprisingly lightweight. At just over two pounds, it’s built for travel but won’t weigh you down.

A secure mesh pocket adds another layer of order, ideal for stashing smaller essentials like chargers, cables, or passports, while external zippered pockets provide quick-access storage for everyday items or even a spare pair of shoes.

Carrying options are equally versatile. The bag’s padded shoulder straps tuck away neatly when not in use, letting the Voyager convert seamlessly from a backpack-style carry to a traditional duffel.

Reinforced side grab handles make it easy to haul it in and out of overhead bins or the trunk of your car. Its compact dimensions—23 by 14.7 by 10.2 inches—strike a sweet spot between a cabin-friendly travel bag and a roomy weekender. The result is a piece of gear that’s as functional in the airport as it is for a road trip or quick outdoor escape.
