When TB opened up preorders and took this bag out of retirement I knew I had to pounce on getting one. I got the 36 and I think its the perfect size since Im not the type of person to be carrying gigantic duffels. The construction is top notch and this should last for 100 years+ since its basically bomb proof. I plan on using it for weekend trips traveling but if you are a light packer you could fit everything you need in here for weeks.

Just got this to add to our road trip toolkit. I am looking forward to trying this out for week-long stays - basically living out of the duffle, like a portable locker. It has higher sides than my Aeronaut 30, plus I like the mesh pocket for stowing items that need airing out. I got this in the Deep Blue and am loving the colorway _ it’s unexpectedly rich and has a subtle sheen in the right light. It’s a tad shorter than my large Yeoman duffle (I use that one for hauling linens and pillows. In the attached pics, the RB is on top, the large Yeoman in Navy is on the bottom). So until our next trip, I am storing our travel blankets in the RB - its taller profile is well-suited to puffy gear. I’m also excited for the lash straps - I think they will be great for things like trekking poles or folding camp chairs - things that are light but unwieldy. I just love the design of these duffles - unassuming but so fit for purpose. I don’t need gaudy colorways, I just want sturdy bags that have handles in the right places and that will hold up for years and years.

I kicked myself for not jumping on the pre-order, telling myself I didn't need it! Boy, was I wrong. I'm so thankful TB released a few more and I was able to snag one in the beautiful Verde color. At first I was a little skeptical of the seemingly small size when it arrive. That is, until I started packing. This thing has a sneaky capacity and when paired with Packing Cube Shoulder Bags inserted "bookshelf" style, it absolutely devoured everything I needed to bring, and then some. The end pockets even fit a size 13 pair of shoes in each! I was blown away. I fit 4 PCSBs packed to the gills inside the main compartment and the outer most slash pockets worked great for overflow toiletry items and my travel watch case in the mesh pocket.
When packed, the bag beautifully takes its shape and seems to compact its contents into a really tight and maneuverable "box." TB has some kind of wizardry going on because I used to pack the same contents in a North Face Basecamp duffle that is easily almost twice this physical size and much more cumbersome. I'm an absolute believer in all things TB, but the RB36 is an absolute dream to travel with.

I keep it in the trunk filled with clothes, toiletries, car charger, wall charger and this and that for a 2 night bag! Never know when you're gonna run across that super fine babe who needs your undivided attention for a few days! There's gotta be a beach somewhere? I'm ready! Trip to a cabin in the woods? I'm ready! Nude beach you say?
Let's go, we don't need this bag!
