Iconic for good reason, the Base Camp Duffel is trusted by travellers and adventurers from the Himalayas to urban metropolises. It's now made from water-resistant recycled materials but packs the same durability and ruggedness. It's not just tough; it's really practical, too, with a tonne of thought-through features that make it an explorer's best friend. Use it as a duffel when it's in transit with the two padded side handles, or wear it as a backpack with the detachable, adjustable ergonomic shoulder straps when you're on the move. It opens right up, so you can see what you've packed in its surprisingly roomy 31-litre capacity. If you do manage to over-pack, the four compression straps help you find space for a little more. There's an internal mesh pocket for dirty clothes and a side zip pocket for securely storing your phone or keys. Finally, it's cabin-baggage friendly on most airlines.
