The reviewer considers the lack of dedicated laptop protection a drawback for carrying delicate technology inside the duffel. The reviewer says the wide-opening main compartment makes gear visible and reachable, while a sleeve holds laptops or documents. The bag uses 600D nylon on top and 900D nylon underneath, with the reviewer noting abrasion resistance and improved water protection.
The reviewer highlights removable handles, a wide shoulder strap with landing pad, and a backup backpack mode as flexible carrying options. The removable handles snap together, creating a tidier and more comfortable grip for carrying the duffel by hand.
