Frequently asked questions
What is a duffel bag best for?
A duffel is a large, open haul bag for travel, the gym and gear. Topo Designs duffels range from a 40 litre weekender to a 90 litre roller for big loads.
What size duffel do I need?
For a weekend, around 40 litres, the Mountain Duffel. For sports and gear, the 48 litre Gear Bag. For long trips or a season of kit, the 90 litre Mountain Duffel Roller.
How do you carry a Topo Designs duffel?
The Mountain Duffel and Gear Bag carry by the handles or on the shoulder. For moving a big load over distance, the Mountain Duffel Roller rolls on wheels.
Are Topo Designs duffels carry on size?
The 40 litre Mountain Duffel is close to many cabin limits, but it depends on the airline and how you pack it. The 48 and 90 litre bags are for the hold or the car. Check your carrier before you fly.
Are they water resistant?
Water resistant, not fully waterproof. The recycled nylon and finishes shed light rain, and coatings have been PFAS free since 2024. For heavy rain, use a cover or liner.
Is the 90 litre roller good for a long trip?
Yes. The Mountain Duffel Roller (90L) is built for big hauls and long trips, with wheels for easy transport through airports and stations.
What are they made of, and will they last?
Rugged recycled nylon chosen for years of hard use. All bags are covered against defects in materials and workmanship through our MAP Guarantee, with a repairs programme.
Duffel or roller, which should I choose?
Choose the Mountain Duffel (40L) or Gear Bag (48L) to carry on the shoulder and keep it light. Choose the Mountain Duffel Roller (90L) for the most capacity and wheels when you would rather not carry.
