We rebuilt this duffel around one idea: a pocket for everything. A side pocket keeps wet clothes and dirty shoes away from the rest of the load, an exterior mesh pocket holds what needs to come out fast, and a full split pocket inside the top closure organizes everything else, down to a smaller secure pocket tucked inside it. The same removable backpack straps carry over, now with sturdier closures and better adjustability than the last version. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I loaded this duffel heavy and switched to the backpack straps for the walk from the car, and the new closures held tight the whole way without needing a mid-walk adjustment."
