In the end, both are high-quality outdoor duffels from trusted brands—built to withstand air travel, far-flung expeditions, and everything in between. For example, the Patagonia Black Hole, our top pick, can be used from anything from serious outdoor exploration to standard air travel (and it looks the part for both). With a smaller opening, access to the contents is more limited, and especially when full (this means more rummaging and disorganization). Similar to the Black Hole, the Allpa features durable materials and large U-shaped access to the main compartment.But it’s fully functional for the right application with a padded shoulder strap, accessory pocket, and smooth-running zippers. When not in use, many backpack straps simply detach for storage in the main compartment (this keeps them out of airport conveyor belts).

Of course, the right choice also depends on how much stuff you like to bring, but we find ourselves reaching for our 55-liter Patagonia Black Hole more than any other duffel in our closet. What’s more, the main fabric is fairly robust (900D) and dirt-resistant, while the seamless bathtub base (1680D) will keep your gear dry even on wet ground. For travelers, we think that at least one external pocket is nice to separate out your smaller essentials.

With a thin nylon construction and small 30-liter capacity, it won’t hold up to long-term abuse, keep your gear dry, or shuttle much more than a well-organized overnight kit. With padded straps and an adjustable sternum strap designed with carrying comfort in mind, the Transporter is a great option for travelers who need to cover distance with their duffel. Relatively new to the scene is Black Diamond’s Stonehauler, which offers a climber’s take on the classic outdoor duffel. We also appreciate the Cotopaxi’s convenient carry-handle stash pockets, which get them out of the way when not in use. Finally, one large grab handle on each side are great for the duffel shuffle, and the backpack straps remove when not in use.
