#Big agnes road tripper duffel review zip#
Top-loading zip design allows for ease of access to the entire bag as well as allowing the bag to stand upright when packed.So, I did – on a trip to Mexico this April. I wanted to test Big Agnes’s offering, the Big Joe 110L. But the new wave of ultra-burly, brand-emblazoned duffels is just as popular with expeditionists as it is high schoolers on spring break. Previously they were thought to be un-sexy, the lesser counterparts to various rolling, excessively-strapped ways of toting around a load of belongings. Holiday Clearance: Run in at the end of December.It seems to me that duffels have been making a comeback in recent years. Summer Sale & Clearance: Around late June/early July. Winter Clearance: Ending around now or soon Members usually get a coupon for 20% off a full-priced item, and another coupon for 20% off one item from the REI Outlet. Great deals, and a member coupon for 20% off a full-priced item and another for 20% off one item from the REI Outlet usually a specific day in the past).Īnniversary Sale happens in mid-May. During covid, garage sales sometimes happen continuously with stuff on the floor (vs. Online there is deal of the day and don't miss garage sales. Sales only happen when we try to phase out products or versions to make way for new things so when it's gone, there's none left. Step 1 is sign up for the emails to get caught up on sales. Bigger ones I endorse less, but are still great value. Ok I think these things are really good from REI/are as good or better than name-brand:Īny of the small flash bags, ruckpacks, or trail bags. I also added reasons to why I don't like them.ĮDIT 2: As a response to a previous comment, I answered the gear from REI that I swear by. I like the big haul duffels too, not the stuff duffels. But the kingdom lounge chairs aren't that durable from what I hear (although I hear it's super comfy until it breaks). I love the REI flexlite and other chairs REI makes. Overall the value is worth it on so many things and some items outperform big brands.ĮDIT: I'm adding links because it's specific products only. In general, though, REI does a pretty good job with their gear and clothing.
I don't like how any of their pants look or fit and a bunch of their long sleeve shirts are designed for the Michelin man (some are alright).Īnd whatever you do, don't waste your money on this. I'll be doing this for a bunch of hours, but you can comment or DM if you miss it.ĭon't get any of the REI brand stuff duffels (not the best build quality) or roadtripper duffels (hard to pack away), money belts (cheaply made), convertible pants (for fit and look), backpack coolers (for bad value), and kingdom lounge chair (for durability concerns). I simply am a gearhead who wants to share knowledge. I am not speaking on behalf of or representing REI in any official capacity at all. If REI doesn't sell it, I might know about it but someone else in this sub might be more suited to answer. If REI sells it, I probably know about it (I hope). Hopefully I can help some of you make decisions or learn more about specific bags, clothes, gadgets/trinkets, etc. I am an employee at REI and I know a ton about the gear that REI sells and working with the mods, I wanted to do an AMA. Here is my originial post before the trip and here was an update. I took a big 6+ pre-covid trip and r/onebag was instrumental in helping me. This sub helped me trim down my pack and I've now had the pleasure of exploring more of the world solo as an adult, bringing along all the tips and knowledge I learned from r/onebag. I also grew up backpacking Latin America with my parents and brother, always traveling with just one bag, but I always overpacked. This place helped inspire me to travel lighter than ever and it revolutionized my traveling. Hey everyone I’m a long time member of the sub and I absolutely love this community.
