I purchased the drifter 75l for a pack trip in Montana, it traveled via airplane and then of course by horse and mule, then back to Pennsylvania. Then later this summer we went to Colorado. Unfortunately on our return trip something happened and the bag ended up with a hole in the bottom.it had to be something extreme to do that as the material is very tough. I of course was disappointed ( mostly with the airline) and contacted both Sitka and the airline. I can’t say enough good things about Sitka’s customer service, very responsive and treated me more than fair, actually going above expectations! I can’t and won’t say that about the airline’s customer service. I don’t know if I should name names or not but Danielle was a pleasure to deal with and like I said, extremely courteous, professional and kind, exactly what customer service is supposed to be. Although, sadly today it is usually just frustrating. I will continue to be a loyal Sitka customer!

I've owned duffels from many of the major climbing brands out there, and I can honestly say this bag is hands down the most durable as well as intuitively designed duffel on the market. With 3 zippered organization compartments internally, this duffel still has enough space to easily fit my chest rig, plate carrier, helmet, battle belt, and a few other accessories. If you're looking for a new bug-out bag, this is it.
