Please note that these differences do only seem to apply to certain sizes of the TNF Duffel Bag. As far as I can see, both your bags are size M? The S size still comes with equal handles on all four sides afaik. Also note that the handle update is more of a "downdate", as my 20 year old size M also came with a central handle (and shoulder straps) - albeit without an additional side pocket :)
fr0sty squid yep just check they’ve updated it again. Added the handles on the outside like the older version in my video. This is great in my opinion. Thanks for pointing that out guys!
@@nuffersgear7315 Be handy if the handles at least had a way to stay held back. I've put my arm though one trying to get the bag on my back more times than I can count 😂
@@kinda_ineffable4275 I have not owned the current version of this duffel bag however I have owned a black hole and my dads old Tnf base camp duffel. the old north face is definitely better quality (don't know if they still make them like that) than the black hole but has less features. Relating to the new ones generally with any outdoor gear more features for the same price = lower quality materials. Both are definitely better than Lowe alpine though.
The medium will fly as a carry on if you crunch it down with the compression straps first. If the airline is a stickler, you can use the shoulder straps to shorten the length. International flights have tighter restrictions, so be aware.
_ alimgdzl I don’t personally have a transporter, but my friends do and I would say the Base Camp because of the simplicity, waterproofing, and packability. Also the 40L is much smaller than the medium size Base Camp.
@@nuffersgear7315 Ah, thanks for the reply! Yeah I have a Base Camp size M but was thinking about whether a size xs would be better than a Transporter 40 as a sort of day pack. Great video by the way
As someone who has carried one of those fully packed on my back for a few hours. Pain. That's why. Although anything smaller than the medium should have a shoulder option for sure
Hey thanks for the terrific review. Have u ever tried the Thule Chase? . Which one do you think is better? Thanks a lot
How many liters is the large size?
I have gen 1 large. Goood stuff
Will this be useful for my hike trip? Let's see...

I 800 Awesome info! Thank you sharing all that. Yes both my bags are size Medium.
I thought it was the other way around? The new one doesnt have a carrying handle and the old one has?
Emil Andersson nope, unless there’s a different “new” one now
its right for the medium but the small is better as the carry straps get in the way of back-carrying straps

@@nuffersgear7315 So there is now an updates 4th version?
Trying to find a non carry handle medium or large is like panning for gold
Yeah they only made them for a bit and then added them.

@@Joshwaa_s Very true, like a snap or something on the side.
Quick question. You kicked the Black Hole away. How would you compare the black hole to the TNF? Thanks
ExposedRoot that’s would be a lot to talk about in a comment. I should do a video on it though
Was thinking the same... my question is which do you prefer?? Thanks

I much prefer the base camp. The opening on the black hole is strangely small.
I would be entertained watching you try to break into the duffel when it is locked. You can only use your hands, no hatchets ;)
Do you think this bag is too big for airplane carry on? or should i buy the small version of this bag instead? thanks.
I have taken it on multiple flights as a carry on, including international, and have had no issues.

what size are these?
Can you hide the backpack straps?
They are completely removable...at least on mine.
Let me know what additional questions you have about this product. Also, let me know what other videos you would like me to make.
Thinking of getting the medium. Would the medium fit most airline carry on guidelines?
rsm nyc Yes, European international carry-on’s might be a bit smaller but I’ve taken it as a carry on all over the US and to Asia no problem.
osprey transporter 40 or this?

Why does Northface not make their bags have the one shoulder strap, like a gym bag.

Unethical parent company 🤫
Unlike every other international company 🙄
