What is the Gregory Alpaca Wheeled Duffel 100l?

The Gregory Alpaca Wheeled Duffel 100l is a rugged and versatile travel bag built for any adventure. Designed with a spacious duffel-style main compartment and durable wheels, it offers the perfect blend of convenience and mobility. Whether tackling rough terrain or gliding through airport terminals, this bag ensures a smooth and stress-free journey.

What is it made of?

The Gregory Alpaca Wheeled Duffle is built to handle rough travels, unexpected weather, and heavy loads. It's made from durable, impact-resistant, and eco-conscious materials that provide strength, flexibility, and long-lasting performance.

Exterior Material: Built Tough with Recycled Polyester and TPU Coating

The outer shell of the Alpaca Wheeled Duffle is crafted using a combination of high-impact polycarbonate and 40% recycled 900D polyester ripstop. High-impact polycarbonate is a thermoplastic material known for its durability and impact resistance. It absorbs shocks and prevents cracks or dents. Polycarbonate is often used in protective gear and heavy-duty luggage, making it ideal for a travel bag that sees rough handling.

The '900D' in recycled polyester refers to the fabric's denier, a measure of its thickness and toughness. This heavy-duty polyester is woven in a ripstop pattern, which means it has reinforced threads running through it to prevent tears from forming and spreading. The fact that 40% of it is made from recycled post-consumer materials, like plastic bottles, reduces environmental impact while maintaining performance.

The thermoplastic polyuterene coating enhances the fabric's durability by adding water resistance and flexibility. TPU also makes the bag easier to clean, repelling dirt and stains while ensuring it doesn't crack or degrade over time. It creates a sleek, semi-rigid exterior that balances strength with lightweight performance.

Interior Lining:

Inside the duffle, you'll find a 40% post-consumer recycled 135D polyester lining treated with a VAC (Vapour Applied Coating) finish. This coating enhances durability and water resistance, creating a protective barrier against moisture while remaining environmentally conscious. Unlike traditional coatings, VAC technology provides a more uniform application, improving performance without adding unnecessary weight or stiffness to the fabric.

Wheels and Hardware: Strong and Reliable

The wheels and hardware are made from a combination of Nylon 6.6 composite and TPR (thermoplastic rubber). This mix gives you smooth-rolling wheels that can handle different terrains, from airport floors to cobblestone streets. The hardware, including zippers and buckles, is built to last, ensuring your duffle stays secure through countless trips.

Chassis Support: Sturdy Yet Lightweight

The base and structural support combine polycarbonate and HDPE (high-density polyethene). This blend keeps the duffle lightweight while providing excellent strength and durability. The sturdy chassis ensures the bag can handle heavy loads without losing shape or stability.

What are its features?

Gregory has designed the Alpaca Wheeled Duffle with thoughtful features that enhance usability, comfort, and durability.

Smooth and Sturdy Trolley Handle

The externally mounted telescoping aluminium handle system allows for easy manoeuvrability. It features a seamless push-button grip that makes adjusting the height smooth and comfortable, ensuring a hassle-free travel experience.

Rugged Wheels for Any Terrain

Equipped with lightweight moulded wheels with a TPU over-moulded smooth-rolling tire, this duffle is designed to glide effortlessly over airport floors, rough pavement, and uneven surfaces. The wheels offer durability and shock absorption, ensuring a smooth ride even when carrying heavy loads.

Built-In Grab Handles for Easy Lifting

Multiple reinforced grab handles make lifting a heavy duffle hassle-free. A moulded bumper at the bottom doubles as an extra grab point, while top and side handles with reinforced sewn webbing make lifting and carrying things easy.

Storage Options

The Gregory Alpaca Wheeled Duffle is designed to make packing and accessing your belongings as easy as possible. Its large U-shaped opening allows for quick and hassle-free packing, while the #10 lockable YKK zipper ensures that everything stays secure throughout your journey. The oversized T-Grip zipper puller makes it easy to open and close the bag, even when wearing gloves or in cold weather.

For those carrying dirty or wet gear, the duffle features a large expandable pocket designed to keep used items separate from clean ones. This compartment is handy for travellers returning from outdoor adventures, gym sessions, or long trips where clothing or shoes might accumulate dirt. It ensures better organisation and hygiene, preventing odours and moisture from affecting the rest of your belongings.

Compression System for Secure Packing

The duffle includes an internal compression webbing system that helps tether and separate gear. These adjustable compression straps allow you to secure clothing, shoes, and other essentials, preventing them from shifting during transit. By keeping everything compact and in place, this system reduces bulk and ensures that you make the most of the available space. The webbing also allows you to compartmentalise your packing, making it easier to locate specific items without rummaging through the entire bag.

Allpaca 100l Duffel Review For such a big bag, the Alpaca 100L doesn’t just swallow your gear—it keeps it all in check. The huge U-shaped opening means you’re not digging blind to find that one t-shirt, and the internal compression straps stop everything from shifting into a chaotic mess. There’s even a separate expandable pocket for dirty or wet gear, which is a lifesaver after muddy hikes or gym stops.

Effortless to Move, Even When Fully Loaded We’ve lugged plenty of duffels, and this one’s a pleasure to handle. The telescoping handle feels sturdy, not wobbly like some we’ve tried, and the oversized wheels just glide—even over rough car parks or cobbled streets. Plus, the grab handles are right where you need them, so lifting it into a boot or off a luggage belt is way less of a faff.
