Osprey Rolling Transporter 120 Unisex Duffel Bag

Product Information

Considering its built for durability this big versatile wheelie bag it reasonably light. Not the lightest on the market, but weighing in at only 3.85Kg it is hardly a heavyweight. Big versatile wheelie bag gets tough in rough! Still, it rolls far, far better than a usual wheelie suitcase, though, and everything, eventually, has limits.

The Osprey Transporter 120 promises to be the adventure-proof wheelie or best family size rolling duffel bag. Here, we put it to the test. Read on for the full Osprey Transporter 120 review.

Introducing the Osprey Transporter 120 Introducing The Osprey Transporter 120 If you're familiar with Osprey's lineup of products, you'll know the already brilliant Transporter Duffel has been a staple product in most outdoor-enthusiasts kit cupboards for years. The Rolling Transporter, as you've probably guessed, adds some useful wheels for easy mobility! All Rolling Transporter bags are ultra-durable and come with a HighRoad™ chassis, extra-large all-terrain polyurethane wheels and a sturdy, highly water-repellent TPU laminated nylon fabric body to protect your belongings from the elements. Our Osprey Transporter 120 Duffel Review explores a rugged and practical load hauler with user friendly features and dependable performance. Please read on to find out more. IntroductionAt 3.85 kg, this is certainly not an ultra light bag but if you want the wheels, that’s usually the price you have to pay. Specification The Rolling Transporter features a low-profile padded carry handle and an extendable ErgoGrip™ handle for comfortable carry and efficient wheeling even with the heaviest of loads. Second, it’s easy to get to your stuff. There’s a giant, zippable entrance point with no clamshell problems.

The Rolling Transporter is built with Osprey’s HighRoad™ chassis, which will keep rolling through rough terrain thanks to the ABS polymer materials and extra-large polyurethane wheels. The Rolling Transporter 60 is suited for the traveller who requires one bag to do it all, no matter if it's an adventure on a plane, train, van, or road trip. Except. After a while (three weeks on the road, in fact, zig zagging the former iron curtain for my Iron Route project from Istanbul to Berlin) I realised one simple fact. Inside, a series of clips help secure your belongings for you strange people who somehow don’t fill it already. On the outside, another couple of clips secure things further so it’s all pretty snug.No duffel of this type will be waterproof (the zip alone is a key water access point), but it should hold off a fair amount of weather. On a recent ski trip it survived being transported through a snow storm and was even sat in the snow for a while while waiting for transport. There was no moisture ingress. If that’s a concern I tend to make sure the contents are individually protected in dry bags anyway. Out of interest, if you do need a waterproof duffel Osprey have now added these to their range. Details on these models can be found here. Organisation After applying myself to a strict suitcase diet for a number of years (as enforced by the management/husband) it was time to dabble again. First of all, I like the massive size. There’s a range of options (40, 90 and 120 litres) but when travelling with family, especially when glamping, size is great. There’s extra bedding, slings, sheets, towels, nappies and all sorts that even the luxest glamping establishment doesn’t provide.
