The Transporter Duffel 65 is the most weather-focused bag here. Osprey makes the shell from bluesign approved 630D NanoTough fabric, 100% recycled high-tenacity nylon with ripstop and a coating, and describes it as highly water-resistant. The main compartment opens with a large lockable U-zip, and the zip path sits under an overlapping rain flap. Osprey lists 65 L of space and a weight of 2.66 lbs., close to the Eagle Creek bag. Four webbing grab handles and eight lash points make it easy to strap down, and a padded harness stows away when you do not need backpack carry. It is covered by Osprey's All Mighty Guarantee. Organization is basic, with one zippered end pocket and one internal mesh pocket, and the $15 Travel Shoulder Strap is an extra. At $200 it costs $21 more than the Cargo Hauler. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bag.
