As a company Eagle Creek consider themselves to be a “tribe of travellers”. Born in the San Jacinto Mountains of California as the brain-child of Steve and Nona Barker, Eagle Creek's duffels are designed by travellers for travellers.
Taking note from the trials and tribulations that travellers face on a regular basis, Eagle Creek's aim is to take the hassle out of travelling. They not only build immensely useful products but they also build them to last by using ridiculously tough materials and construction methods, meaning your kit stays reassuringly safe and the bag itself doesn’t end up in a landfill.
This No Matter What rolling duffel is a prime example of how to make a regular product perfom better and last longer. Eagle Creek have used their Bi-Tech material for this tough duffel, made from a PU coated polyester the fabric undergoes a special coating process to make it exceptionally durable and water resistant. To further enhance the weather protection they have built in a protective storm flap to protect your gear from the rigours of travel and the elements. Strategic seam reinforcement is used in high stress areas along with extra-tough webbing straps to ensure that this bad boy can take some serious abuse. Those super-tough straps form carrying handles and act as side compression and you also get a removable, padded and adjustable shoulder strap if you want to get your hands free when lugging the duffel. You also get webbing grab handles at each end of the duffel.
The feature that really sets this superb duffel apart from the competition is the addition of massively treaded wheels that will cope with just about any terrain. So if you've got a really heavy load you can pull the duffel using the grab handle across mud, cobblestones, pavement or forest tracks to easily get your kit to your destination.
Entry into the main compartment is via an oversized zip with lockable pullers adn you also get a small zipped compartment on the outside of the duffel for things you need to access quickly. When you've emptied your duffel it can easily be rolled up, wheels included, into the handy storage sack, this tough sack doubles up as a seperate bag for muddy boots and clothing.
