Roller luggage is convenient when navigating the terminals, but its utility is limited outside of the airport. Duffel bags, on the other hand, are great for road trips and car camping, and they have a ruggedly adventurous appeal. Outdoor and camping brands like Patagonia and The North Face make some of the best adventure-ready duffels, like The North Face’s Base Camp Voyager Duffel, which is on a rare sale right now at REI.
Typically $125, the 32-liter The North Face Base Camp Voyager Duffel is discounted by 28%, dropping the price under $90. The bag is available in a navy colorway with gold accents, or a military-inspired khaki green shade. The bag is packed with features that are ideal for camping excursions and weekend getaways.

The duffel shines when it comes to versatility. It has shoulder straps that tuck into a hidden pocket when not in use, making it easy to convert from a duffel to a backpack. Then there’s the U-shaped opening so you can see everything in the bag, and there are a multitude of mesh pockets for easy organization. A movable divider makes it simple to separate clean and dirty laundry or divide shoes from clothes, and the side pockets are handy for items like shoes. Plus, there’s a hidden laptop sleeve, which anyone traveling with electronics will find handy.
The bag is a utilitarian option for weekend getaways, according to shoppers, including one who called it the “perfect weekender bag.” “Perfect for short trips and very durable,” they wrote. “I plan on using this bag for a very long time. It has the best compartments to help you stay organized and fit a lot without over-stuffing the bag.” Another called it a “good compact and versatile duffle,” writing, “I got this for weekend trips and using it as an airplane carry-on. Its construction seems really durable and I like how it has handles on each side as well as the straps for backpack use.”

While duffels shine for quick getaways, shoppers also found that this bag worked for longer trips, with one calling it “perfect for international travel.” “I purchased this as my personal item for a three-week trip to Europe, and because it doesn’t have a frame, handle, and wheels, it is extremely light and has more interior room than my international carry-on,” they noted, continuing, “It’s inexpensive, lightweight, and for me a travel game changer.”
Whether you need an adventure-ready bag for car camping or you want a convenient weekender for your next flight, The North Face’s Base Camp Voyager Duffel is a versatile option for every kind of trip. At its sub-$90 price, it’s worth acting fast.
