Duffle Bags, Travel Bags and Holdalls
Our duffle bags are tough, lightweight, large-capacity holdalls for travel that’s hard on kit. From weekend escapes and long-haul flights to expeditions that swallow ropes, boots, and wet gear, these are bags designed to take abuse and keep going.
Duffle Bags, Travel Bags and Holdalls
They get chucked into car boots for last-minute mountain raids, hauled into crags bulging with gear, and flung around airline baggage systems without ceremony. No fuss. No fragile parts. Just honest bags that do the job.
If you’ve ever stood at luggage reclaim scanning for the bag that looks like it’s been places, you’ll know the type.
Why Alpkit Duffles?
- Tough enough for airline holds
- Large openings for bulky, awkward gear
- Comfortable to carry when fully loaded
- Lightweight for their capacity
- Designed for repair and long life
No over-engineering. No unnecessary features. Just bags that accept they’ll be dragged, dropped, and overloaded — and are built accordingly.
Adventure doesn’t treat luggage gently. Your duffle shouldn’t expect it to.
