FAQs
What is the capacity of The North Face Base Camp Voyager Duffel?

Yes, this duffel features integrated, adjustable shoulder straps that allow it to be comfortably carried as a backpack. These straps can be hidden when not in use.
Is there a dedicated place for my laptop?
Absolutely. The duffel includes an internal laptop sleeve designed to securely hold and protect your laptop during travel.
How do I separate my clean clothes from dirty ones?
The main compartment features an adjustable and removable divider, perfect for separating clean items from dirty laundry or organizing different categories of gear.

Is this duffel waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Difficulty efficiently organizing contents.
Utilize the adjustable and removable internal divider to create separate sections for different item types (e.g., clothes, shoes, toiletries). Make full use of the various internal and external pockets for smaller items.
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable in backpack mode.
Ensure both shoulder straps are evenly adjusted to distribute the weight across your back. Cinch the straps to bring the bag closer to your body for better balance and comfort.
External zipper for passport/phone feels stuck or stiff.
Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper path.
Bag appears too large for airline carry-on requirements.
While 42L generally fits, always check your specific airline's carry-on dimensions before travel. Ensure the bag is not overpacked, especially in width and depth, to allow for some compression into the sizing bins.

Care
Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the exterior of the duffel with a damp cloth and mild soap. For more stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow the duffel to air dry completely after cleaning. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the material and coatings.
Storage: Store the duffel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
