HYPERLITE MOUNTAIN GEAR DUFFEL

Hyperlite Mountain Gear is not about bells and whistles, nonessential features, or the latest trending colors. We manufacture stripped down, high performance gear that’s been dialed in to meet, in as minimalist a manner as possible, the exacting requirements of the people who use it.

30L APPROACH DUFFEL
Whether you need a vessel to shuttle the gear you'll be wearing, items that won't be in your pack, luxuries and food for base camp, or you're simply looking for an easy bag to carry through an airport, the 30L Approach Duffel, at just a smidge over 16oz | 453.6g, keeps the light vibes you've come to know and love about our gear goin' strong. Convenient internal and external storage pockets and premium materials and hardware just round everything out to perfection.

140L EXPEDITION DUFFEL
Built with 375d fully woven Dyneema for maximum everything–strength, abrasion resistance, and moisture protection–with an incredible performance-to-weight ratio to boot, the 140L Expedition Duffel is the piece of kit you want for successful journeys across unmapped lands.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The 30L Approach Duffel and 140L Expedition Duffel are ultralight bags designed for hauling gear.

The 30L Approach Duffel and 140L Expedition Duffel are NOT dry bags. Take precautions to prevent gear from getting wet.

To ensure contents remain dry regardless of weather conditions, we recommend pairing your Duffel with our Pods and Stuff Sacks to organize internal contents and create an additional layer of protection.

Periodically check your duffel bag’s fabric, pockets, straps, clips, and adjusters for signs of stress or tears and repair any damage before continued use.

Take the time on a dry, sunny day to spot-clean any areas that need it. A soft damp cloth and a mild soap (non-detergent and non-oil based soaps work well, do not bleach). Air-dry by leaving it out to hang-dry. Make sure your duffel is completely dry before long term storage.
