How Much Can Be Packed Into Our XL Duffel Bag?

xl-duffel_environment

Our classic Benedict Weekend Bag is often recognized as one of the best travel bags in our line. But when winter temperatures arrive, sweaters and flannel can quickly take up the room that easily accommodated bathing suits and sandals. When we get the chance to duck out early on a wintry Friday and head for the nearby mountains our roomier Cleland XL Duffel is the bag we reach for. A packing champ, you won’t have to regret not packing that extra pair of wool socks when an unexpected snow blows in.
