Water resistant travel duffle, sized for carry on and backpack carry.

Internally braced end pocket side to maintain shaped structure while carried as a backpack.

Soft and pliable climbing-grade tubular webbing, rather than flat straps, for comfort while carrying by hand or over shoulder.

Primary materials: Challenge Ultra 100, 200, and 400. Light, water resistant, and durable. Ample daisy chains for clipping the bag to anything, or anything to the bag.

Loosely inspired by the defunct SDR Traveller’s D3 Traveller.
