Loved It So Much, I Bought a Second One
"This is my second Cargo Hauler 40L purchase, so the quality speaks for itself! The colourways are gorgeous (I already own the green, but just couldn’t resist the orange), it’s extremely easy to pack away — even as someone with a nerve issue in my hands — and the quality of the materials and zippers is well worth the price tag. I’ve had no issues using my green one for international travel (United, Air Canada) or on budget airlines (Flair, Air Transat). Even after being taken on multiple trips, I’m genuinely surprised by how new it still looks — no noticeable markings, scratches, or stains whatsoever. I’m so excited to put this new orange one to use! I will note that the Cargo Hauler can get uncomfortable after an hour or two on my back, but I think that’s to be expected from a travel duffel with backpack straps. If carrying comfort over longer periods is a priority, a dedicated travel backpack would probably be the better choice. Also worth noting: unlike some other travel duffels, this bag doesn’t have a dedicated shoulder strap for duffel-style carry. Instead, the two backpack straps snap together to create a single carry handle. I personally don’t mind this since I prefer carrying it as a backpack anyway, and I really appreciate the large grab handles on both ends of the bag — they make it incredibly easy to grab, move around, and toss into an overhead bin or vehicle. As someone with an admittedly unfortunate bag addiction (lol), I’ve owned and tried a lot of bags — and I honestly think the Cargo Hauler’s price-to-quality ratio can't be beat!"
