Rolling duffle for extended trips

Travelling can be tough on bags. They get shoved in holds, thrown into baggage carts and chucked onto airport carousels, then squeezed into lockers or stuffed in the back of rental cars. And if you’re going on far-flung adventures or serious expeditions, the demands get even greater. What you need is a duffel that can take serious abuse. The Ortlieb Duffle RS is a tough, fully waterproof travel bag with heavy-duty rolling wheels and an aluminium skid plate to protect from rough terrain. Available in three different sizes from 85 litres up to a massive 140 litres, this is a serious gear-hauler. It’s built from tough and waterproof PU-coated polyester, with a chunky waterproof TIZIP zipper. It can be wheeled or carried, and even works as a backpack by using the padded handles as shoulder straps. Internal straps compress the volume, and the bag can even be secured with a travel padlock through a wire loop at the zipper.
