The North Face Base Camp Reistas XS - Active Blue/Bold Blue

Throw this duffel into the back of a pickup, check it on a flight to Kathmandu, or clip it to a portaledge—the Base Camp Duffel XS shrugs off abuse that would shred lesser bags. Its 31-liter capacity holds a weekend's worth of climbing gear or a week's worth of travel essentials, while the rugged TPE laminate body and ballistic nylon base keep contents dry and protected from sharp rocks, rough baggage handlers, and rainy tarmacs.

Why choose it

The Base Camp Duffel is legendary for a reason: extra bar-tacks and double stitching at stress points, water-resistant fabric that sheds rain and spills, and a design refined over decades of expedition use. The XS size is perfect for carry-on compliance or as an organizer inside a larger duffel. Made with recycled body fabric, it's a responsible choice for the environmentally conscious adventurer.

Ideal use cases

• Weekend climbing or hiking trips
• Carry-on travel for budget airlines
• Gym or sports gear transport
• Expedition base camp organization
• Everyday rugged carry

Good to know

When not in use, the duffel packs into its included mesh storage bag for compact stowing. The D-zip opening allows wide access for easy packing, and the weather-resistant flap protects the zipper from rain and dust. Four compression straps stabilize the load and reduce bulk. The water-resistant ID window on top lets you label your bag without a separate tag.
