Special features of the duffel bag

◆ High durability and can withstand harsh environments
The main fabric is resistant to tearing and abrasion, and is also highly water resistant.
This fabric is called CORDURA 1000 material, and is highly water resistant because it is coated with urethane, and the outside of the fabric is treated to be water repellent to repel rain and dirt.

Most duffel bags have a straight opening, but the U-shaped opening makes it easy to see inside and take out your belongings in any situation.
For example, it is convenient to be able to retrieve the baggage you want even when you are carrying it on your shoulder, when the bag is not stable, or when someone else is carrying it. This ease of use clearly shows the technology and commitment of the brand, which has continued to develop specializing in duffel bags since its founding.

◆ Rust-resistant, tear-resistant, and designed for everyday use
The metal parts are nickel-plated so they won't rust even when wet, easy to maintain, and safe even on rainy days. Furthermore, the straps and reinforcing side webbing are made of seatbelt material, making them durable and won't tear easily.
The bag's seams are also well thought out, with all seams double-stitched and taped, and the handles cross-stitched and box-stitched to maximize durability.

◆ Reliable size that can be carried on board
It has a handle on the side, making it easy to lift and pull out. It is especially easy to handle in baggage storage areas on Shinkansen trains and airplanes.

Duffel bag that won't break even if you cross Antarctica

BEST AMERICAN DUFFLE was founded in Seattle, USA in 1989, commonly known as BAD BAG. The founder, Malolm Vetterlein, was involved in the development of GORE-TEX, which is famous as an indispensable material for outdoor products. He had doubts about the durability and quality of the duffel bags he used on a daily basis, and in search of an ideal and better duffel bag, he founded BEST AMERICAN DUFFLE in 1989 and began development. In 1990, Gore-Tex became the official supplier to Will Steger, a famous American explorer and expedition leader, during his sponsored crossing of Antarctica, which was a spectacular success. BAD BAG's bag was recognized as a durable duffel bag that survived crossing Antarctica at minus 50 degrees and blizzards for nearly seven months.
Due to its durability, it is used by fire departments and police departments in the United States, and its high quality has received approval from various places. While many American bag manufacturers are shifting to Asian production, this brand continues to produce mainly in Seattle to revitalize the local industry.
