Solid duffle bag
I purchased the 55L in March of last year to use for all hazard & wild-land deployments in Texas. I've taken it out 4 times now (2 weeks at a time). It has been great. It's dependable. It's made with sturdy enough material to take in and out of compartments on an engine without worrying about it ripping or wearing in any spots. I don't have to stress about my stuff getting wet. The compartments are large and placed in user friendly locations. I pack 4 pair of pants and 7 of everything else + a tooth brush, tooth paste, batteries, a head lamp & a hoodie with a little bit of room to spare.

The last duffel you need
I purchased this and recently took a 4 day business trip that the duffel's capacity was perfect for. For starters, unless I missed it in the item description I wasn't aware the entire bag folds into one of it's own side pockets and there's a small loop for hanging it up. I was very confused when I opened it to find what looked like a big general purpose pouch. After some practice, getting it back into this configuration is easy, and saves a great deal of space when stored. The 40L model is quite spacious. I could have easily fit a weeks plus worth of garments, and still had space for shoes on the side. It carries quite well with the included shoulder strap. I have not ( and will not likely ) used the should straps so I cannot speak to their comfort with a full duffel. They do however come completely off of the bag and I opted to simply leave them at home. Both straps fold into the side pocket along with the bag when stored, so they aren't easily lost nor loose in a closet somewhere. The material, zippers, and workmanship of the bag is everything you'd expect from Mystery Ranch. Overbuilt and perfectly assembled. The weight of the bag itself lends confidence to the fact that the bag will last for quite a long time. The internal organization gave me plenty of options for toiletries, electronics chargers/cables, and a novel without becoming some jumble of things tossed into an available pocket. I also appreciate that the bag's structure helps to keep it's form - something that's annoyed me about flimsy duffel's I've owned previously is how the entire duffel becomes something of a slightly twisted lump if it wasn't at least 75% full. I took a road trip, so I can't say with any certainty the duffel will qualify easily for airline overhead storage.

Lots of pockets
Great duffel bag, good amount of storage spots. The divider inside the main compartment is much more helpful than you’d think. I with the lid opened up with a little more ease. When it’s packed full it takes a minute to open fully.

Good Organization, Disappointing Performance
Been using Patagonia Black Hole duffels for years, but decided to give MR a try. I really love the division of space in this duffel, making it awesome for organization and keeping gear in it's place. I purchased this bag and immediately packed it up for a 2 week trip to Mexico. The bag was great until I picked it up off the carousel, walked 50ft with it on my shoulder and the backpack strap buckle snapped. Surprised and disappointed, I grabbed one of the handles and hauled to a nearby set of chairs where I disconnected the shoulder straps and stowed them (quickly and easily thanks to the mostly good design). I then attempted to carry the bag via the button-snap handle. This worked great until I set it back down, at which point the snaps came undone. After attempting to use this several times but getting the same result, I defaulted to the sewn handles on the sides. I carried the bag this way for the rest of the trip, and these straps held up great.

Great for a trip!
I used this duffle for a 10-day pilgrimage to Portugal and Spain. It performed superbly, and managed to carry all the gear that I was taking with me. I was surprised at how large it was when it arrived, but it was more than sufficient for my needs. Looking forward to many trips with this.

Nice bag, except:
This is a well made, mid-sized travel duffel. My only complaint is that the loops to attach the shoulder straps to the bag are too small for the corresponding attachment hardware on the end of the shoulder straps. Loops need another 1/2 inch of material to make this a very good bag.

Design is slipping
Bag material feels a little like vinyl, time will tell how it holds up. Handle cover is barely large enough to fit around webbing when bag is empty, have to work to get it closed if full. Snaps on handle are of poor quality and won’t stay closed. Bag design is good, nice to have handles on all sides.

Well Made Duffle, One Negative: SNAPS!!!
I specifically purchased the 55l size to use as checked luggage for outdoor and entire trips. I selected the duffle based on the reputation of the company and the fact that I can carry the 55l using one sling strap and remove the backpack straps. I’m already carrying my hiking day pack so I’m unable to effectively use the backpack straps. All the other big name well made duffles do not have the ability to carry their duffle bags as a duffle bag. So this also made the mission duffle the only real option! The bag is well laid out without being too busy. The bright interior and dimensions make packing easy without needed to fold anything weirdly. Very versatile for packing with or without packing cubes. The duffle has held up well as checked luggage and honestly for a 7-10 day trip I would not want it any bigger because at that point I’d be over weight anyway. You can get tons in there. The single strap lacks padding but I’ve swapped over to a non matching strap from another bag. I have not used the back pack straps so I have no opinion on those. The single issue I have is with the two snaps on the fabric that folds over the handles. The snaps come undone with minimal pressure so there is absolutely no way that they do not become unsnapped when using it as checked luggage. No way. Because this duffle is basically otherwise perfect, I drilled out the snaps and banged in my “pull the dot” snaps on my own. Now the bag functions as should have to start. I passed the recommendation along to MR and maybe they will upgrade the future releases. If they do, I’ll pick up the smaller size for carry on duty for business trips.

New go-to travel bag!
This bag is perfect for those week long trips while still being fairly compact for the amount of space you get. Quality feels great and I love all the organization pockets inside. The orange interior is also very handy on the Wildfire 55L to make it easy to find your gear. It will compact down into one of the "shoe wells" at the end of the bag so you could fit it in another bag so you have extra room for your return. It's not super compact in this configuration but that's a price gladly paid for the thick, high strength fabrics. As a college student travelling back and forth from home, I can safely say I don't regret making this purchase as it was well worth it. The only regret is that it made me want to buy more! Can't recommend Mystery Ranch enough!

Are the grab handle straps removable? I see they are attached to the bag through buckles. Removing them when carrying the bag in backpack mode would be nice.

Hi I'm interested in buying this duffel in the 40. I've seen reviews that say the backpack straps are sewn only into the liner material and have nothing else connecting them to the bag. Has that design element changed with the newer duffels? Thanks.
