Helly Hansen Unisex HH Duffel 2 Packable Travel Bag with Removable Backpack Straps - Waterproof Durable Gym, Sports & Weekend Getaway Luggage

Review for Helly Hansen Duffel Bag 2 30-Liter Black.Disclosure: This has been my main travel bag for almost a year now and it's seen two weeks in Australia and New Zealand, multiple flights back and forth between California and Texas, and many weekend trips. I have not used the previous version of the bag.3.75 starsPros:- Backpack straps are great and tuck away nicely (albeit just a little difficult)- Most straps are fairly rugged feeling- One large main compartment with an inner mesh pocket and one outer zippered pocket (perfect for my Kindle)- Very water resistant- Looks sharpCons:- Velcro stitching on the handle came undone during my trip abroad- Beefier thread and stitching would have been appreciated- Beefier zippers would have been nice- Could be a touch lighterOverall I really like this bag and have no plans to replace it. The 30 liter size was great for a minimalist two week trip and perfect for any shorter ones. The shape of the bag lends to fitting in almost any space in planes or cars. Unfortunately I really wish the quality of the stitching was up to par, because then it'd be a 4.5 star bag. However, a few dabs of super glue and the Velcro patch is now actually more secure than it was. I did have this bag stuffed to the max at 25 pounds when it happened. Under normal use I could see it lasting much longer.
