Duffel bag The North Face Base Camp 32 L — Polyester with TPU, Black, 576×350×220 mm

The North Face Base Camp duffel bag in 32 L capacity is a travel-oriented version of the brand's classic design, made from durable polyester with TPU reinforcements and a water-repellent finish. The medium-sized black bag can be carried as a duffel or worn as a backpack and offers organised storage for everyday and travel essentials, including a laptop/tablet sleeve and multiple pockets for quick access to items like a passport and phone.

Advantages

The duffel provides a roomy main compartment with an adjustable, removable divider to separate clean and dirty items. It is lighter than the original Base Camp model while keeping rugged construction, recycled fabric components and a water-repellent (DWR) treatment. Multiple pockets and an external zipped compartment reduce time spent searching for small valuables.

Suitable for

• Short trips and weekend travel
• Gym and sports gear
• Daily commute with a laptop or tablet up to 15"
• Organised packing where separate compartments are useful

When it may not be suitable

Although durable and water-repellent, the bag is not fully waterproof and may not protect contents in prolonged heavy rain or submersion. For very long expeditions that require specialised expedition-grade features, a larger or more technical expedition duffel may be preferable.

Usage recommendations

For travel and daily use, pack frequently used items in the external pocket, place electronics in the sleeve, and use the divider to keep worn clothing separate. If rain is expected, add a lightweight rain cover or store sensitive items in waterproof pouches.
