Maxpedition Doppelduffel

[DaveK]

I have my finger poised to order a Maxpedition Doppelduffel, which I think could serve me as both a one or two night business trip bag, in addition to being a good gear bag at the weekends too.

I've watched all the Youtube reviews which make me even keener, but does anyone have experience of the bag, good or bad?

I thought that was what the Falcon was for?

Dave's got MaxPat ocd, so he'll never have the "right" bag

Nah, that's for walking. The problem with using it as a business bag is carrying collared shirts etc. The Doppelduffel is more of a "tactical suitcase" I used the Falcon II at the weekend in fact for the camping trip and it was perfect

Hard to defend myself there

Nobody got one of these then

Maybe - not sure yet (the missus would certainly approve though)

i think they look a bit silly  id probably laugh if i saw anyone wearing one, but then i laugh at almost everything

I don't think I'd use the shoulder straps tbh, although it must be said tha the pics on the Maxpedition site do seem to have been modelled by a midget - the thing looks huge!

This gives a better perspective:

That thing's vast

Should do you for more than a couple of day's I reckon

For work, you're talking ironed shirts, change of everything though. It's apparently the same size as the regulation suitcases for cabin storage on a plane. I have a Samsonite of that size and it's about right for a two or three day trip (5 days at a push), but of course you can't use compression straps on the Samsonite!

Chuck your phone charger, shaving gear, change of shoes etc in there and that will soon fill up

I think its when not if at this stage

See how easily you have talked yourself in to it? 

[DaveK]

I am rather good at that - its true
