Helly Hansen Duffel Bags

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the main differences between the Helly Hansen Duffel Bag 2 (70L) and the 120L model?

  The Duffel Bag 2 (70L) is a compact, packable travel duffel with upgraded fabric and reinforced stitching for daily travel and weekend use, while the 120L model offers substantially more volume and a dedicated separate shoe compartment for bulkier gear. Both models feature weather-resistant construction, multiple external/internal pockets and convertible, stowable shoulder straps, but the 120L emphasizes capacity and organization for longer trips or equipment-heavy travel.
• How durable and weather-resistant are Helly Hansen duffel bags?

  Helly Hansen’s duffels use upgraded fabric on the Duffel Bag 2 and reinforced stitching around shoulder straps, making them noticeably more durable than earlier versions. Their minimalist, sporty builds are designed to be weather-resistant for typical travel conditions, keeping contents protected from light rain and abrasion.
• Can I convert the Duffel Bag 2 into a backpack for hands-free travel or short hikes?

  Yes, the Duffel Bag 2 converts to a travel backpack with adjustable, padded shoulder straps that stow away when not in use, making it convenient for hands-free carry through transit. It’s designed for urban travel and short approaches, but it’s not a replacement for a technical hiking pack with load-bearing frames for long, gear-heavy backpacking.
• How is organization handled inside Helly Hansen duffel bags?

  Organization is handled with dual internal mesh pockets plus external and internal pockets for small items, and larger models add a separate shoe compartment and a padded tablet pocket for device protection. The main compartment is accessed via a wide zipper opening for easy packing and gear visibility.
• Which size Helly Hansen duffel should I choose for weekend trips versus extended travel or bulky equipment?

  Choose the 70L Duffel Bag 2 if you want a packable, versatile option for weekend trips, city travel, or light packing; its size balances capacity and portability. Opt for the 120L model when you need room for extended travel, group gear, bulky winter layers, or sports equipment that won’t compress into a smaller bag.
