Brand: Mammut

Model: Cargon 60


There may be no piece of gear we abuse more than our luggage—but you’d never know it if you looked at our Cargon. We hauled this duffel across the globe—from ski-mountaineering in British Columbia to trekking in the Alps—and it came back no worse for the wear. Credit the polyester ballistic body fabric and ripstop threads, as well as the waterproof nylon bottom, which works like the bathtub floor of your tent—go ahead and set it down in a puddle. Three compartments keep Type-A packers happy. Nice touch: The handles are wide and anatomically shaped, so you can wear it as a backpack relatively comfortably. “With the two compression straps cinched, the 60-liter model fit in a plane’s overhead compartment,” says a tester. “And the two side handles are great for hefting it.”
