No need to mention quality, we already knew it would be there. When I received the duffel I was worried due to the size but needless to say I still impressed myself on packing. Crammed 4 days worth plus a winter jacket along with SB's travel case and still had the side pockets remaining which I filled since I'm going away for 2 days. Why limit yourself when you have plenty of room, right?? Highly recommend this and all their other items which I'm accumulating has I type. Wow,wow,wow is how I feel, very impressed.
I recently purchased not only the classic briefcase but also the matching Side Pocket Duffel. This is a piece of luggage that I have no idea how I have lived without until now. (Where have you been my whole life!!!) My normal business trips are of 2 to 4 day duration. I can pack casual clothes as well as three suits in this incredible bag, and I am not a small guy. Granted I may need to have them pressed upon arrival however this is the only bag i use now. Side pockets are ideal for toilet kit and back slot is fantastic for newspaper/ mags/ ect. for easy access. Durable? Uh yes! I actually had it run over by my wife in our driveway (that is a story much too long for this post) and it did not skip a beat. Actually the scuffs it incurred actually improved its appearance. I would suggest any owner run over it several times just for appearance. Buy it now, close your eyes at the price tag and just buy it...now. You will not be sorry. BTW, the inside pocket is not as intrusive as previous posts have reported, at least for me. I can see the utility of it if i use it for vacations etc. They are not kidding, Dave makes these to last, forever. BUY IT NOW,
This bag is absolutely beautiful. I've had quite a few compliments on how the bag looks, which is great. But I love it because of the versatility of it. I think it is a perfect bag for a weekend trip. It's awesome. Thanks Saddleback!
I love the look of this bag and how rugged it is. I throw it in the bed of the truck and beat on it pretty hard. When mine arrived I was wondering how I would like it. As time has progressed I have found good and bad uses for this bag. Do to its size it is obviously not a bag for long trips. I initially purchased it as a weekend bag anyhow! for that is about as many days of clothes I can stuff in it in every possible place!. I am not fond of the sleeve inside the bag but have used it on occasion to keep things separated, even though I have considered removing the separating sleeve pocket. I am 6'8" (throwing this in because all Dave's videos state he is 6'2") and packing enough pants and shirts for more than 3 days is impossible, with other needs for a weekend but it was not designed for that! like I said I use it for a weekend bag, small and light even stuffed with all I need for a 3 day trip, and it still fits as a carry on in most cases! overall I love this bag! like I said I beat on it pretty hard bouncing it around in the truck going where ever the road leads. I even had extra gear in this bag earlier this year on a fishing trip! I want to thank all the folks at saddleback for building me one of my longest lasting pieces of luggage, since I first started traveling. I have had this bag almost since it first appeared on the website! I also want to thank them for the great design of this bag. The outer pockets give me a place to keep the dirty stuff from the clean! its a great design! Hope everyone else who has purchased this likes it as much as I and hope there bag gets to see as much air miles as mine.
The side pocket duffel was my first piece. Then came the older model square backpack with the toggle fasteners on the side. Then a dopp kit. Then a wallet. Then a gadget sleeve. Then the old bull belt. Then I purchased a side pocket duffel for a gift to my son...then a dopp kit for a gift to my neice as her future medical bag for housecalls...more symbolic and supportive than anything else (she was 9 years old at the time) but you get the point. Then I recieved the gadget bag as a gift. So yeah...I'm a big time fan. Whenever I travel, no matter where I am or which piece I'm carrying I always get at least one "woah, neat bag, where did you get it" question. So I refer them to SBL!...actually...sometimes when I travel I loop the strap of the dopp kit or gadget bag through the D rings on the backpack and make it a modular system of sorts. I've also used the backpack straps on the duffel too so there are lots of configuraions you can make up for yourself.
