My Holy Grail Hiking Backpack Doubles as a Spacious Carry-on Bag

"For years, I struggled to find a travel bag that worked well in hotel rooms and on hikes-until I was introduced to The North Face Base Camp Voyager Duffel, a dream bag that works for both. After testing it out on a recent fall foliage weekend trip to Ithaca, I fell in love with it, and now, I'm recommending it to all of my friends."

"When you flip it over and pull out hidden shoulder straps, it turns into a hiking backpack. The bag has a water-repellant finish and held up during an unexpected light rain storm; and even after getting it a little wet, I was surprised to find that my clothes and camera were totally dry. While it's great for a weekend roadtrip, I've also flown with it a few times, using it as a carry-on bag; it fits perfectly in overhead bins without any struggle."

The North Face Base Camp Voyager Duffel functions as a regular duffel and converts into a hiking backpack via hidden shoulder straps. The exterior has a water-repellant finish that protected clothing and camera gear during light rain. The bag fits as a carry-on and stows easily in overhead bins. Interior organization includes a padded laptop sleeve, an interior zippered pocket for passports and snacks, and a ventilated side pocket for muddy boots. The duffel accommodates three days of clothing, toiletries, boots, and a rain jacket while leaving extra space for purchases. The design balances active-weekend durability with city-friendly appearance.
