Your duffel bag is the true unsung hero of your gear. It gets to travel, but it never gets to really come out and play. Even so, it bears the enormous responsibility of taking care of your gear, even when it’s in the hands of not-so-gentle baggage handlers. You can’t trust just any bag with this responsibility, but you can definitely put your trust in the updated family of Migrate Duffels from Eagle Creek.
On Performance & Design…
To be clear, the line-up of Migrate Duffels has long set the standard for travel gear that can endure the rigors of daily use, cross-country wanderings, and exotic vacations alike. It’s one of the reasons Eagle Creek has dominated the duffel category, and why these bags have been a customer favorite for years.
So how do you take an industry-leading product and make it even better? You make it from 100% recycled materials. Today, consumers around the world do want to live more sustainably, and they expect brands to play a role in driving positive changes. And so, in a world where so many brands are striving to increase their sustainability footprint, Eagle Creek has upped the ante by bringing 100% recycled materials to your travel itinerary.
Using recycled materials throughout, the Migrate duffels (available in 40L, 60L, and 90L) feature even more of the durability-boosting recycled RPVB coating, which diverts waste directly from landfills and creates more sustainable products and processes.
If by chance you’re wondering whether these bags are all enviro form and no function, rest assured they continue Eagle Creek’s legacy of durable, functional, forever gear. The brand’s industry-leading Recycled PVB (RPVB) coating adds storm-proof water resistance while reducing your carbon footprint. Want more eco-goodness? The seamless bottom bathtub construction doesn’t just help protect your gear from water intrusion, it was developed by harvesting windshield plastics from landfills.
These duffels also feature a “doctor bag” style zip-top that turns into a monster opening ready to gobble up whatever gear you’re willing to feed it while also providing better visibility of your gear. Tuck-away backpack straps offer multiple options for comfortable carry, and exterior compression straps keep even the most unruly gear constrained. And when the adventure is over, Migrate Duffels collapse flat for storage.
But without a doubt, our favorite feature is the multi-point harness system. A singular, continuous webbing strap, envelops the bag at critical grab, hoist, and tie-down points. That means whether these duffels are stuffed deep in the trunk, or flipped upside down and backward on the baggage carousel, there’s a secure grab point available. And of course, every Migrate Duffel comes with Eagle Creek’s No Matter What™ Warranty, so no matter where you and your gear roam, you’re fully covered.
In Closing…
Proven design, bombproof construction, and 100% eco-friendly construction. The new and improved Migrate Duffels are the best adventure gear in our arsenal – and it’s not even close.
