Perfect Backcountry Pack in
I purchased this for my Guided hunts, the 5500 duffel has proven to be perfect for a week long horseback elk hunt in the CO Rockies with still more room to spare. As a guide i have to carry extra gear than the average hunter and the amount of pockets on this duffel plus its size has proven to be perfect as well as keeping me organized in camp. I do not have to worry about this bag getting wet, as it has amazing waterproofing capabilities. i packed into a camp in a rainstorm and all my clothes were completely dry once i arrived i was thoroughly impressed. the removable shoulder straps are a great addition, as well as the locking zippers if i want to leave this in camp or anything and not worry about it being rummaged through. The bag has several hand holds on it making it perfect to carry in any position, i have used and abused this bag over the past year and cannot say enough about it. the price isnt super bad for a ship to consumer type of product and i was skeptical ordering as i prefer to see stuff hands on. but i will order more as needed. the smaller 2800 would be perfect for smaller trips and the 10400 would fit most likely my hunting pack, boots, all my clothes and some food for an extended trip. just to give a size comparison
