Reviews

Love it mostly

"Love the new duffle. Couple quirks. . . . . needs one small side pocket for incidentals and the fold over flap on the end pocket is so "sturdy" that it makes the entire pocket difficult to use. I did use it extensively on a trip and loved the backpack versatility and the duffel carry straps. The 40L was a perfect carry on size!"

Barbara P. (5/5)

Great Bag for Europe

"Fit everything I needed for two weeks in Europe. I just dropped off at a laundry service every few days. It was such a pleasure to pack light an avoid checked bag fees with the airlines."

Rachel M. (5/5)

Super Durable

"This is my second Eagle Creek bag! It's super durable, rugged, and solidly build! It qualifies as a carry-on, so it's the perfect bag for traveling. It was a lot easier to carry around in Europe than other bags. My friends who had roller bags fought with cobblestone streets and stairs while I just kept on walking. Very happy with this bag!"

Brent F. (4/5)

Almost perfect.

"It took me to Spain/Portugal and all over the USA for dozens of business trips in the last two years, zero problems. Versatile and plenty of room; easily stuffed and fits in all bins when the big rollers everyone else has won't. One gripe: the straps cut into your shoulders when the bag is really full. Would recommend."

Joe V. (5/5)

Great Quality, Very Small

"Excellent quality product! We purchased it for a carry-on bag, but exchanged it for a 60L. The 40L is about the size of a gym duffle bag and we have plenty of duffles in the house. 60L worked out well as a carry-on."

Darlene T. (5/5)

A bag true to its warranty.

"Bought 2 of an earlier model of these for backpacking Europe in 2016. And have held up great. My husband works at a fly in camp and his has held up great Zippers work the same as the day we bought it and have great features. The waterproof fabric is starting to wear on the bottom side a bit. But after 200 travels on flights and road trips a little fabric wear is to be expected. Now that we are getting older time to get one with wheels! ;)"

Connie (5/5)

Performs as expected.

"Can fit a good amount of things in it. Durable. Bought as a luggage that can be used as carry on with backpack straps. Great for throwing into car for road trips."

Erin R. (5/5)

Seemed small at first

"I bought this for carrying loads of small boxes in several sizes to the post office after my previous bag leaked. When I first received it, it seemed shockingly small, especially the main compartment, and really stiff. Once I tried filling it with boxes, however, it expanded to hold a decent number. Also the fit of the shoulder straps and profile when using it backpack mode seemed weird at first, with the upper part sticking out way further than the older backpack I'm used to. And having to undo the straps to then undo the zipper to access the main compartment is cumbersome if you happen to be wearing it as a day pack. However, the killer design feature here is that the zipper almost never needs to be used if you're wearing it as a backpack and not carrying tiny items in the main compartment because when it's worn this way it contours to the body in a way that basically seals the zipper, unless it's raining. This means you can take it on and off and reach in without even unsnapping the straps, or you quickly unsnap the lower two straps and flip back the cover/pocket. Also, the zippered pocket that the shoulder straps go into is perfectly usable if, say, one were to buy a bottle of wine or need somewhere to put a newspaper. Brilliant design and construction all around, very comfortable to wear and very flexible in terms of fitting a variety of smaller packages."

A Great Bag

"I love my new 40L Cargo Hauler! Bought two for my husband and I to use on our recent trip to Prince of Wales Island in SE Alaska. Perfect for our float plane trip, traveling lite and easy to sling up on our backs to hike to our Airbnb! Many adventures in our future!"

Jenny B. (5/5)

Overall great!

"Only complaint is the zipper for one of the end pockets isn’t smooth around an awkward 90 degree turn it has to make. Otherwise this is a very high quality duffel. Sturdy, looks great, everything seems to fit just right. Very happy. Get the packing cubes as they really fit the bag perfectly."

Q&A

Hello! I already own the Cargo Hauler 40L Duffel Bag and I would like to buy a set of packing cubes for it. Which combination of packing cubes fit inside it? Thanks.
Thanks for the inquiry. There are always many ways to organize packing cubes in a bag, depending on the size cubes you're using and how you want to pack. If you pack with the inner mesh divider raised, you could fit 2-3 Small (S) cubes on either side, or an S cube on either side with a couple XS stacked on top. If you pack with the mesh divider collapsed, you could stack ~2 L cubes, or stack some M cubes on top of 1 L Cube. All of these sizes are available individually on our website. If you're looking for a set, options you might consider are: - Pack-It® Reveal Extended Stay Packing Cube Set: https://eaglecreek.com/products/pack-it-reveal-extended-stay-set - Pack-It® Isolate Carry-On Packing Cube Set: https://eaglecreek.com/products/pack-it-isolate-carry-on-set - Pack-It® Reveal Carry-On Packing Cube Set: https://eaglecreek.com/products/pack-it-reveal-carry-on-set We hope this helps. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at customerservice@eaglecreek.com if you would like further assistance picking some packing cubes.
