Stuff the Duffel – How much kit can a Base Camp duffel take? Part 2 (series of 5)

Yesterday we launched part 1 of a series of blogs featuring the classic Base Camp Duffel bag from The North Face. To make it more interesting for all you lovely duffel dotées we’re giving you the chance to win an extra large Base Camp duffel by guessing the weight after we’ve filled it with kit. To enter the competition simply click on the link below and choose one of the 4 answers. If you’re unsure then you might want to stay tuned to our blog this week as we work our way up through the 5 sizes of duffel (one each day) ending with the XL on Friday 13th March.

Everything for a freestyle night at the dome

As you can see, we’ve managed to stuff the duffel with everything needed for a freestyle night at the local snow dome. We’ve squeezed in snowboard boots, jacket, pants, base-layer, mid-layer, impact shorts, helmet, goggles, socks, drink and snacks. And remember, this is only the small bag! So the duffel is fully loaded and remember for the competition we are looking for the weight of a fully loaded extra-large duffel.

And at the weigh-in…

And at the weigh-in the small Base Camp duffel comes in at just over 5 kg/11.02lbs.
