Yeoman Duffel

lifestyle  visible^^Various sizes and colors of Yeoman stacked on top of a large rock at a campsite in the woods. A Mini Yeoman in Canary is in the air behind the rock.

Description

Unlike other TOM BIHN bags, the Yeoman is made from what we call "seconds": fabric with minor cosmetic blemishes that do not impact its durability. We always love an excuse to recycle, so we used the fabric that otherwise would have gone to waste into this classic duffel. Available in four different sizes, the Yeoman is ready to take you on any adventure, be it the gym, camping, or checking your excess gear on your next flight.

Yeoman Duffel Key Features

Perfectly Imperfect

Made from cosmetically imperfect fabric, we call “seconds”. It means less waste in the world and more durable bags in your hands. Win-win.

Carry It Your Way

Switch between classic duffel or over-the-shoulder carry. The heavy-duty shoulder strap attachment points are built to handle both. Travel how you want, without overthinking comfort and versatility.

Grab Life by the Handles

Padded grip handles snap together when you want them and separate when you don’t. Placed right on top to balance the load, they make hauling gear feel less like punishment, more like ease.

The Big Empty

A hatch-style main compartment with zero built-ins, pockets, or frills. Just wide-open space for whatever chaos you call “packing.” No rules, all possibilities.

Clip It and Forget It

Five internal O-rings to tether your essentials. Keep the little stuff where you need it, no spelunking expedition required.

Zippers That Won't Quit

A rugged #10 YKK double-slider zipper that opens wide for easy packing. Tough enough for years of zips, hauls, and countless overstuffed adventures.

    To the bone

    I’ve been a Bihn user since 2003 — perhaps 10+ bags, including a late 2017 A30. Got the Y44 to succeed the A30 — wanted something I could travel with half-full, so there’d always be room to stash a parka, a paperback, or a packet of hemp protein and I’d never again find myself in the position of having to double carry to accommodate these nonce items. I travel a LOT — anthropologist and consultant, based in Berlin, clients in California, heart in Japan — and I spend up to six months a year living out of a bag. The Y44 is hands-down the best intermodal travel bag I’ve ever used. No more zipper anxiety, no more jigsaw packing, no extraneous straps to snap on seat frames. The fact that it’s unlined and has no subpocketing is a big plus for me, both wrt packing strategy and total lifecycle: makes it much easier to imagine patching or decommissioning this bag … in 30 or 40 years. I added a homemade shoulder strap from 1/2” safety line. If I could suggest one tweak for the next iteration: perhaps make the carry handles 20 percent longer to accommodate shoulder carry when it’s at > 3/4 capacity. In softgoods as in all things, simplicity is the most difficult thing to achieve. The Yeoman’s to-the-bone design bespeaks an uncommon maturity in the TB design language. Do yourself a favor.

    Everything fits!

    This is the most versatile duffel bag ever! I got the small size (28L) in Coyote 1050 Ballistic, which not only looks rugged, but also fits everything I need for a week stay. I used a Packing Cube Shoulder Bag for my underclothes, and a size 1 travel stuff sack for my shawl/scarf. Toiletries, earbuds, charger, cable, powerbank and other knickknacks all fit into the Travel Tray. Clothes are stacked on one end of the duffel, and the Travel Tray plus Stuff Sack on the other end, with the Packing Cube Shoulder Bag acting as a divider in between. There's still space for other items (eg. My trusty Side Kick which is my handbag). I absolutely love this small Yeoman Duffel! ❤️❤️❤️

    A Light and Durable Duffle Bag

    I have the small and mini Yeoman Duffles. I had initially planned to only purchase the small since the size seemed to better fit my needs but I blacked out and bought both though I don’t regret it. I took the small on a trip recently (pictured). It’s the perfect size for 2 to 3 days of clothes and doesn’t get too heavy because of its small size and lightweight materials. The zippers are beefy and sturdy and it feels good to use. I also like that they fold down pretty flat when not in use. I haven’t had a chance to use the mini yet but it’s just adorable

    Perfect for what it is

    I needed a simple, durable, single compartment bag to bring to the gym and overnight trips. This fit the bill perfectly, and I get compliments on it all the time. I love it!

    Quality

    I ordered the mini Yeomen and was kinda nervous that I had ordered the wrong one. I just took it on my first trip and I have to say you feel the quality in the bag as soon as you unbox it. It is the perfect size for my needs. Easy to pack and carry around. I was given a compliment on my bag. The pictures do not do it justice. I'm looking at ordering another one or two. This bag is great for anyone who is into EDC things. I really enjoyed the curved zipper design. This was my first purchase from Tom Bihn but will not be my last.
