I've gone through more duffels than I could count, over a decade or more of expeditions. Those NF ones are OK but they're a) expensive here and b) very heavy, adding 2kg or so to your excess baggage.

The equivalent from Mountain Designs are both cheaper and a bit lighter.

Lighter than either, and what I have found best, are the ones made by SummitGear in Katoomba. They seem dear for a plain canvas duffle, but axes, poles and shovels will put holes in the most $$ TNF duffel too. The SG ones are tough for their weight.
