Mara Travel Duffel

Fantastic lightweight and stylish travel bag

I have the 80L Mara in the excellent Sahara colour. For me it's the perfect size to carry all my checkin gear and tripod. It weighs a lot less than my previous bags, packs up small when needed - ie working on yachts. I've even used it for a packrafting adventure with the included backpack straps. It's also super stylish and easy to identify in baggage claim.

Great bag, tough and lightweight

I recently purchased this duffel and took it on its first trip (to Africa). The bag is bigger than expected, extremely light (great for little planes with strict bag weight limits), and has tons of useful pockets (the downfall of most duffel bags). The removable backpack straps are a good addition. Very happy with the bag so far!

Lacking in waterproof quality

Rated as 5 * in a dry environment. Well built and light. I am deducting 2 * for use in wet conditions. Though described as built with X-Pac performance fabric which is "100% waterproof and constructed to the highest quality standards". Without taped seams the stitching is not waterproof and the bag wets out at seams. This is especially problematic on the bottom when the bag is placed in wet areas.
