With a U-shaped opening, bag access is easy. The bag’s frame is unusually tough for a duffel, ensuring that it stays standing upright even when empty, so packing is easier. Interior pockets let you separate shoes from clothes, or clean and dirty garments. The bag also features hidden, padded shoulder straps in the top lid pocket, if you prefer to carry your duffel like a backpack. The Scout series is built with durable 600D nylon with a water-resistant TPU backing. Like all our travel bags, the main zipper is lockable.
