Osprey Transporter 65

Osprey is the market leader in hiking packs, so it is unsurprising that their Osprey Transporter 65 successfully bridges the gap between rucksack and duffel bag. With cushioned straps and a customizable sternum hook, the Transporter is an excellent alternative for tourists who need to carry their duffel for an extended period of time.

In terms of capability, a zippered pocket on one end is ideal for keeping critical goods such as travel papers and charging cords. Also, this Osprey Transporter 65 bag boasts a large U-shaped opening, an inside mesh pocket, a deployable weather flap, and clips to secure objects in place when walking. When all these factors are considered, the Transporter becomes one of our favorite duffel bags for excursions.

At $150 for the 65-liter model, the Osprey Transporter 65 is somewhat more costly than Patagonia and The North Face. Still, its 900-denier recycled polyester fabric is comparable to the Black Hole in terms of durability, so consider your budget to pick the best options for you.
