What is the Transition Duffel 100L?
It's a rugged, extremely durable duffel bag with 100 litres of storage, that's built to endure all manner of adventures, from challenging expeditions to general travelling by air, land or sea, and various transitions in between.
What is it made from?
The duffel is primarily constructed from Montane's exceptionally durable 420D Raptor Pro fabric which is a 7x7mm ripstop material with a matte carbonate PU face coating for good water resistance (2,000mm HH). This super tough material is made from partly recycled nylon and provides fantastic levels of durability and scratch resistance, allowing it to easily withstand the rigours of frequent travel and the many transitions in between.
The bag is lined with a robust 200D Halo fabric made from recycled polyester. This material is tough enough to withstand abrasion from gear being repeatedly loaded and unloaded, yet smooth enough not to scratch or damage more valuable items of gear in transit. It's finished with a non-fluorocarbon DWR (durable water repellent) coating to protect your belongings from water ingress and make any accidental spills easier to clean up.
The back of the shoulder straps are lined with Montane's Raptor Flex soft shell material, which comprises recycled nylon and elastane. This material is also exceptionally durable and features a four-way stretch to aid carrying comfort with heavy loads. Just like the lining, it too is treated with a non-fluorocarbon DWR (durable water repellent) coating to encourage water to bead off the material instead of soaking in. However, please note that this pack is not entirely waterproof.
All materials used throughout the Transition Duffel are bluesign approved, meaning they are manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. Bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
What are its features?
The Transition Duffel has been thoughtfully designed with minimal seams throughout for maximum weather protection and enhanced durability. A seam-free bath tub base protects against water ingress from damp ground and snow, whilst a timeless clamshell opening protects contents from light rain and accidental splashes. Taped seams and a highly water-resistant construction provide good levels of protection for your gear; however, please note that this bag is not entirely waterproof.
Montane have used a YKK NATULON® recycled zip with a tamper-resistant lock to protect your belongings when you're separated. The zip is covered with an external placket to shield it from the elements and help prevent water ingress through the zip.
The duffel features multiple carry options for fuss-free travelling. You can carry it via the grab handles on either end for quick transitions or as a rucksack with the backpack straps for longer journeys. The straps are also fully stowable, ideal for travelling around an airport, where straps can easily snag or become damaged during transit.
Padding at the base and throughout the lid helps protect your belongings from bumps and scrapes in transit and prevents items from digging into your back while you carry them with the rucksack straps.
Inside the large 100-litre compartment, you'll find various internal organisation features, including a separate zipped mesh pocket, ideal for keeping smaller items of gear from getting lost amongst the pack.
Finally, internal snag-free compression straps allow you to cinch in any dead space inside the bag to prevent items from rolling around in transit and provide a more stable carry when venturing across uneven terrain.
