Osprey Transporter 95 Unisex Duffel Bag

Product Information

USA-born, Aaron has is based in Hong Kong and has travelled the region extensively, eating his way rather delectably across East Asia. The fabric itself is a mixture of 450D, 600D and 900D recycled polyester with a TPU coating for weather resistance. The Transporter is versatile and can be used for anything from camping to climbing trips to backpacking around the world. Instead of putting a valuable government ID in there, we recommend writing out your contact details on a piece of paper or cardboard. The great part about that is that if you want to only use it as a duffel, or just want to get rid of the straps for a bit – it’s a piece of cake!

If you don't need the shoulder straps, there are four external grab handles for all your carrying needs. From the start everything about it screams BURLY, from the tough highly water resistant nylon fabric, reinforced base, chunky zips and strong buckles.While it will protect your belongings if you get caught in a rainstorm we can promise it won’t be as effective if you submerge it with water. This duffle and backpack hybrid is durable and well suited for adventure, travel, and traveling in more remote locations. From the start, everything about it screams BURLY, from the tough highly water-resistant nylon fabric, reinforced base, chunky zips and strong buckles.

The attention to detail is apparent with things like heavy-duty zippers and zipper pulls, thick, burly grab handles, and high-quality webbing material.

A stowaway harness allows for a comfortable carry and zippered end pockets let you quickly access smaller items. Then, when you arrive and need to put the bag onto your bag, you get the straps out of the zipped compartment, and swing it round onto your back, and allow the standard Osprey straps to hug you comfortably, and for the pack to fit snug against your back. If you are a hiker or camper who likes to trek 9 miles into the woods to find a camping spot – look elsewhere. The design of these buckles does improve the bag's performance in other areas but adds another slightly inconvenient step between you and your gear. Since the Transporter is constructed with a robust fabric, it holds its shape, distributes weight, and is easy to manage.

Access to the main compartment is through a large U zipped panel giving you instant access to all the contents and there are additional internal zipped pockets to organise smaller bits and pieces. The Osprey Transporter is a high-quality, weather-resistant duffel bag that is comfortable to carry with its excellent backpack harness. The Transporter also features several buckles and clips securing the opening of the bag and attaching the shoulder harness. This means I only needed to lug around one holdall for the main parts of my journey, and use the day sack for walks.

For canoe tripping or sailing you can always pack some of your belongings in plastic bags for extra precaution. If you are in the market for a durable duffel bag that can hold a ton of gear, looks awesome and can also be worn as a backpack – you’ve literally hit the jackpot! While both of these carrying options are well-designed and quite effective, the Transporter leaves out traditional duffel carry handles and an over-the-shoulder sling strap found on some other contenders. The Transported is made out of a 800D Nylon - not only is this fabric incredibly tough, but it is also abrasion and water resistant - meaning that you can take it wherever, whenever and it will still look great for years to come. Its high quality and durable material with large amounts of space make this duffle a must-have for all outdoor adventurers.

Access to the main compartment is through a large U zipped panel giving you instant access to all the contents. The contoured shoulder straps are well-padded and are supplemented with a chest strap and load lifter straps.

With multiple grab handles and a comfortable shoulder strap system, carrying the transporter is a pleasure.
