Description

Whether you're tossing it in the back of the truck or sliding it into an overhead bin, the Explorer Duffel is ready for the ride. Tough web handles wrap all the way around the bag for serious support. A protective flap covers the main zipper to keep weather and trail grit out. On one end, there's a sturdy grab handle for quick pulls; on the other, a low-profile zip pocket for stashing keys, chargers, or anything else you don’t want buried. A leather-strapped side pocket adds character and convenience and it’s big enough for your gloves, a water bottle, or a notebook.

Four sizes cover just about any need. The Small is trim and tidy, great for the gym or quick overnight stays. The CarryOn fits airline requirements and is perfect for weekend travel. The Medium gives you room to pack for longer trips, and the Large? Well, that one’s a real hauler, think hockey bag size, minus the stink.

    Built for the long haul, the Explorer Duffel is a tough-as-nails travel companion. Heavy-duty web handles wrap all the way around the bag for strength and balance, while a flap over the main zipper keeps rain and trail dust at bay. One end features a grab handle for quick pulls from the truck or overhead bin, and the other has a low-profile zip pocket for stashing smaller essentials. A roomy side pocket, secured with a leather strap and solid brass post, gives you easy access to gear you want within reach.
    The Explorer comes in four sizes to match your mission. The Small is clean and compact—great for the gym or light travel. The CarryOn is airline-friendly and ready for weekend getaways. The Medium hauls more gear, making it perfect for longer trips or outdoor adventures. And the Large? That one’s a beast—big enough to hold everything but the kitchen sink.

    I am not worthy of this bag

    This is the first handmade thing I’ve owned, which has made me realize how cheap mass-produced items have become. The bag feels like an anachronism, that is more befitting an era when the Oregon trail was still a thing. It is so completely and unnecessarily overbuilt for how I plan to use it, but that is exactly why I love it. Can’t wait for it to last me forever.
