Description

Tough, wide, web handles go around the circumference of the bag. There's a dust flap over the main zipper to protect the opening and keep contents dry. A roomy pocket on the side closes with a leather strap and brass post. There's a grab handle on one end and a low-profile zip pocket on the other.

Four sizes make up the Explorer line –the small is neat and trim for just the basics, sized like a gym bag. The CarryOn is a weekend bag that is compliant to bring on board commercial airlines. The Medium is bigger, a handy gear bag for the outdoors. The Large Explorer lives up to its name. It begins to approach the scale of a hockey bag. It can carry a LOT.

Experience the difference and discover why Frost River's Explorer Duffel Bags are the go-to choice for adventurers around the globe. Whether you're hitting the trails or exploring new cities, trust in the durability, functionality, and style of the Explorer Line to accompany you on every journey. Just like all Frost River products, the Explorer Duffels are all built from waxed canvas, premium leather, and solid brass hardware in Duluth Minnesota and backed by a lifetime guarantee.


Durability meets sustainability and craftsmanship with the Frost River Explorer Duffel Collection. Each bag in this collection is skillfully crafted to harness the power of the sun and designed to last a lifetime.


Unlike most duffel bags on the market, Frost River takes construction to the next level. We incorporate extra fabric into the seams of the bag, not only enhancing its strength but also enabling us to deconstruct the bag for repairs and reassemble it with the same integrity. This unique approach ensures that your Frost River bag will stand the test of time, no matter where your adventures take you.


We understand the importance of reliability, which is why we use solid brass hardware in all of our handcrafted goods. Brass hardware is known for its ability to bend before breaking, providing you with the time needed to reach your destination and back again with a fully functioning pack.


Experience the Frost River Difference: Join the countless adventurers who rely on Frost River for their travel needs. Explore the Explorer Duffel Collection today and discover the perfect blend of sustainability, craftsmanship, and durability.
