Nice practical bag

"I bought this pack for an upcoming trip to Spain because it has a nice "squishy" design and will fit under my seat on the plane. I'll take a weeks worth of clothing and an extra pair of shoes in this bag. The straps will allow me to carry it as a backpack or sling it over my shoulder, without straining my neck. It appears to be well made and sturdy"

Joanna H. (5/5)

Live out of it

"I have a few generations of this bag and just ordered the most current one and obsessed with the new colors and fabric/coating. I pretty much live out of these bags - from camping, flying, gym, etc. Each generation seems to get better and better. The only thing I’d change is the angle of the zipper and covering for side pocket without the mesh pocket. It’s really difficult to get into and I only use it for dirty clothes or shoes because of that. The pocket with the zipper more exposed and a mesh zip always holds the essentials. I’m really stoked for the larger D opening vs the previous U shape. These bags have always been good to me and everyone loves the colors"

Rockin duffels

"Our family loves these duffels . We now have 6 in all different sizes to accommodate length of trip and kids age/size of carry! Excellent product!"

Dwayne Y. (5/5)

Great size duffel

"40L is the perfect size travel bag! It fits in overhead bins with zero issues, and can usually fit under the seat if it's not completely stuffed. I LOVE the backpack straps, they really make a difference when you're carrying lots of things. 40L is also a great size for a quick weekend bag. The material of this bag is really nice, I can throw it in the dirt or wet grass on camping trips and not have to worry about anything getting dirty. The bag packs down small when not in use, so it's very easy to toss under the bed or in a closet for storage. Highly recommend it!"

Julia (5/5)

Love it mostly

"Love the new duffle. Couple quirks. . . . . needs one small side pocket for incidentals and the fold over flap on the end pocket is so "sturdy" that it makes the entire pocket difficult to use. I did use it extensively on a trip and loved the backpack versatility and the duffel carry straps. The 40L was a perfect carry on size!"

Barbara P. (5/5)

Great Bag for Europe

"Fit everything I needed for two weeks in Europe. I just dropped off at a laundry service every few days. It was such a pleasure to pack light an avoid checked bag fees with the airlines."

Rachel M. (5/5)

Super Durable

"This is my second Eagle Creek bag! It's super durable, rugged, and solidly build! It qualifies as a carry-on, so it's the perfect bag for traveling. It was a lot easier to carry around in Europe than other bags. My friends who had roller bags fought with cobblestone streets and stairs while I just kept on walking. Very happy with this bag!"

Brent F. (4/5)

Almost perfect.

"It took me to Spain/Portugal and all over the USA for dozens of business trips in the last two years, zero problems. Versatile and plenty of room; easily stuffed and fits in all bins when the big rollers everyone else has won't. One gripe: the straps cut into your shoulders when the bag is really full. Would recommend."

Joe V. (5/5)

Great Quality, Very Small

"Excellent quality product! We purchased it for a carry-on bag, but exchanged it for a 60L. The 40L is about the size of a gym duffle bag and we have plenty of duffles in the house. 60L worked out well as a carry-on."

Darlene T. (5/5)

A bag true to its warranty.

"Bought 2 of an earlier model of these for backpacking Europe in 2016. And have held up great. My husband works at a fly in camp and his has held up great Zippers work the same as the day we bought it and have great features. The waterproof fabric is starting to wear on the bottom side a bit. But after 200 travels on flights and road trips a little fabric wear is to be expected. Now that we are getting older time to get one with wheels! ;)"

Q&A

Does this bag have a sleeve for laptop computers?
No
Hello! I already own the Cargo Hauler 40L Duffel Bag and I would like to buy a set of packing cubes for it. Which combination of packing cubes fit inside it? Thanks.
Thanks for the inquiry. There are always many ways to organize packing cubes in a bag, depending on the size cubes you're using and how you want to pack. If you pack with the inner mesh divider raised, you could fit 2-3 Small (S) cubes on either side, or an S cube on either side with a couple XS stacked on top. If you pack with the mesh divider collapsed, you could stack ~2 L cubes, or stack some M cubes on top of 1 L Cube. All of these sizes are available individually on our website. If you're looking for a set, options you might consider are: - Pack-It® Reveal Extended Stay Packing Cube Set: https://theeaglecreeflash.com/products/pack-it-reveal-extended-stay-set - Pack-It® Isolate Carry-On Packing Cube Set: https://theeaglecreeflash.com/products/pack-it-isolate-carry-on-set - Pack-It® Reveal Carry-On Packing Cube Set: https://theeaglecreeflash.com/products/pack-it-reveal-carry-on-set We hope this helps. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at customerservice@theeaglecreeflash.com if you would like further assistance picking some packing cubes.
