Costco Is Selling Yeti’s Answer to a Classic Patagonia Bag Way Below Retail

More than a mere dupe, the Crossroads Travel Duffel is Yeti’s take on the iconic Black Hole, with a few tricks of its own.

As if you needed one more reason to love Costco.

The big-box retailer famous for its bulk pantry staples, rotisserie chicken and, at times, even brand-name watches now stocks Yeti gear. Even better: it’s heavily discounted.

The item in question is the brand’s 60L Crossroads Travel Duffel, sold out on Yeti’s official site where it retails for $250. Costco, meanwhile, has the bag listed for just $200, according to one Redditor who recently posted about the find.

If that’s not enough to get you through the door, consider the Crossroads Yeti’s alternative to one of the outdoor industry’s most enduring staples: the Patagonia Black Hole.

Like that bag, this one features an ultratough exterior. Only Yeti gets there by way of a nylon-based material inspired by motorcycle gear. Boasting 700 Denier, it’s both abrasion- and water-resistant, with a PU-coated base that makes it easy to clean.

Those aren’t the Crossroads’s only differentiator.

The structured walls (filled with foam) are designed to hold their shape when packing, while the sleek, monochromatic colorways avoid screaming mountain-town transplant like many of the category’s better-known examples.

For good measure, the bag also features heavy-duty stitching on the straps and plenty of pockets and dividers to keep cargo organized in-transit.

Limited availability

If there’s a catch, it’s that the bag doesn’t appear to be distributed across all Costco locations, and availability may be limited to just a few units per store. Also, the retailer only has one variant in stock: navy blue.

Nonetheless, it might be worth checking out your local Costco to try and score this rare deal. Worst case, you still leave with a chicken.

Yeti’s ultra-tough bag boasts a 700-denier nylon, which is abrasion- and water-resistant and includes a PU-coated base that makes it easy to clean. Structured, foam-filled wallsm heavy duty stitching on the straps and plenty of pocketing also help set this duffel apart. What’s even better than durability? The fact that Costco sells this bag for just $200.
