Fits all my stuff! Pretty water proof. I use it as a chair sometimes when traveling and love the backpack straps. If you have see someone traveling, they usually have the medium. That's the best size for carryons, but this is good for long trips and you can squish it down/tighten the straps and it fits as a carryon too.

I just got back from my first trip using the North Face Base Camp Duffel in the small size, and I'm already thinking about where I'm taking it next. I've seen these bags around for years and always wondered if they lived up to the hype. Short answer: they do. The moment you pick it up, you can tell this thing is built to last. The material feels bomber — tough and water-resistant without being stiff or awkward to pack. For a short trip, the small size is honestly perfect. It fit everything I needed without being so big that it became a hassle to carry or stow. The handles are comfortable to grip, and the shoulder strap makes it easy to throw over one shoulder when you're navigating a busy airport or tossing it in the back of a car. What surprised me most was how well it organized my stuff. I expected a basic duffel experience, but the layout and pockets made it easy to keep things accessible without digging around. Packing and unpacking was quick and painless. The exterior held up great on the trip — no scuffs, no issues, looks just as good as the day I bought it. I'm also a big fan of how flat it folds down for storage at home when it's not in use. If you're on the fence about the size, I'd say the small is ideal for weekend trips and short getaways. North Face knocked it out of the park with this one. Highly recommend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
