I'm an avid outdoor sportsman and am a bit of a gear junky. As a result, I'm also a bit of a gear "bag" in an attempt to keep my equipment organized and ready to go at a moments notice. Gregory has been making nothing but quality bags and packs for years, My girlfriend and I currently own four Gregory packs and we absolutely love them and the Alpaca duffle (as predicted) did not disappoint. The construction of this bag is ULTRA heavy duty, on the verge of being indestructible. I initially bought the 120L bag in the white color (Amazon's price of 85 dollars was a great deal) and just purchased another, at Amazon's current price of 65 dollars this bag is an absolute steal! The bag is waterproof (not submersible) which is great for throwing winter sport gear in the back of the truck, the dual carry options are great, the backpack straps are comfortable and the shoulder strap works as it should. The mesh zippered compartment beneath the lid is great for keeping smaller items (beacons, gloves, socks, climbing skins) available and the main compartment of the 120L is cavernous! The exterior cinch straps help to lower the profile of the bag when not fully packed. The only complaint I have (and this isn't enough to subtract a star) is that the zipper (being so heavy duty) can be stiff while opening and closing the bag. However, I'd rather have a bag that a little more difficult to open and close as a result of being so heavy duty than a bag that's going to fall apart after a season or two of abuse. For some reason Amazon is selling this bag in the white color for at a HUGE discount...get 'em while the price is right! Another bag to consider in this class is the "Base Camp Duffel" made by the North Face...however, at Amazon's price I'd take the Gregory 10 times out of 10.
