"This is my new favorite thing. It's great to have when traveling to put my laundry in or to keep my helmets, goggles, and gloves in when going to the hill. At home, it's a perfect gym or cragging bag – it's so light and smashable that you can always have it on hand." -Ingrid Backstrom, The North Face® Athlete, Skier

The North Face created the Flyweight Duffel Bag for those extended trips where you tend to pick up a couple extra items at every stop. Start your trip with the Flyweight Duffel Bag stuffed into its own internal pocket and buried in your luggage. When you run out of room for souvenirs, get it out and start filling it. The North Face used an ultralight 70D PU fabric to make this bag for a scant 12oz, and they included a removable shoulder strap to help you carry it when you fill this thing to the gills.

Bottom Line:Be ready for the overflow with The North Face Flyweight Duffel Bag.

Rating:*****

I wanted a lightweight but sturdy duffel bag for traveling 3-5 days at a time. This bag is super light and made of very tough material. The inside pocket folds inside out so you can store the entire duffel in that pocket for compact storage (Love that!). When the bag arrived, I thought it might be too small to carry all my things (about 4 changes of summer clothes + 2 pairs of shoes + toiletries), but it surprisingly held up. The longer strap is not the most comfortable (it's a basic, non-cushioned strap) so if you pack heavy, carrying the duffel like a messenger bag might hurt after a while, but it's not too bad, because it's easy to carry on your shoulders with the shorter handle straps.

Amazingly Light and Strong

Rating:*****

I have ordered two of these bags now because they are so great. They are amazingly thin, soft, light and can be crammed with lots of gear. They fold up into a cargo pocket sized pouch. So far the bag has been able to take whatever I throw at it. Take one folded up in your big bag just in case you need another bag to bring all your souvenirs in if you ever go traveling. Definately an amazing bag that should have never taken this long to be available for purchase.

Great overnight bag...

Rating:*****

I already have bunches of bags and duffels but they're always full of gear. I needed an extra bag to throw stuff into at a moments notice for quick overnight trips or parties. This bag is perfect because there's not much too it. Enough room for a couple extra t-shirts, water bottle and toiletries. It's also very light and it folds up into it's own stuff-sack when not in use so you can keep it empty and ready to go when you need it.

perfect for everything...

Rating:*****

This bag is super fun and handy for everything...I've even started using it as a de-facto purse if I don't feel like carrying a "purse..." It is small and light and awesome for traveling, or hauling gear to the mountain, gym, wherever. You can throw it in your luggage to put dirty laundry in while you're traveling, too!

The Flyweight Duffel is very practical, we have used it as a carry-on and as a gym bag. Although useful it does get a bit droopy if it is not packed full, and gets a deflated appearance. Overall a seemingly very practical and durable duffel.

Good Product

Rating:****
Very good material and a nice lightweight pouch for packing. The only problem is that it should be available in different sizes. It was too small for my needs and a bit pricey for that size of duffel.
Wendy Wolman at Altrec on 07/10/2009

Lightweight, compact, study bag

Rating:****
I am pretty satisfied with the bag. It's small, compact, lightweight, and seems sturdy. It's perfect bag to transport clothes for a small weekend getaway.

It's great

Rating:*****

I have an older version of this bag and it's great. Ever since I stole it from my sister it has been perfect for traveling.

It's like all of the North Face Flyweight products.

Rating:***
Decent bag for the money. Looks good, lightweight, but simple. Not a lot of extra bells & whistles - just a straightforward duffle with one big opening and an elastic pocket on each end.
