Bags that pack away into themselves seem to be becoming more popular. This Lightweight duffel from Patagonia is another great example of how it should be done. If you’re looking for a rope bag, or just want to have a extra bag on hand for your next trip, this is a ultra light bag that holds plenty, and takes up little room when not being used. Good style, plenty of room, rugged, lightweight, what’s not to love? Well the price is a bit steep. But other then that, what’s not to love?

It’s that dang price point that keeps the rating down. But like most brands Patagonia has you spend ing a few more bucks for their name here. Still, it’s a good solid bag with plenty of uses and will last for years if taken care of. 6 out of 10. $99. NC
