YETI Panga 75L Waterproof Duffel

£350.00

Rugged, waterproof and stylish are the three words I’d use to describe the YETI Panga 75L Waterproof Duffel bag. The duffel bag is designed to go with you on any adventure, come rain or shine, to keep your things protected, safe and organised. Therefore, the YETI Panga 75L Duffel is the perfect bag for an overnight trip - or even a longer weekend trip, depending on how light you can pack!

The duffel we got to test out came in a 75-litre capacity, which provides plenty of space for all your things in the waterproof and durable bag. One of the things I was most surprised by when opening the bag is just how thick and durable it feels. This durable feel is because the duffel is made with YETI’s ThickSkin™ material, which is a rugged, high-density nylon and TPU laminated material that is both puncture-proof and completely waterproof. This is then paired with the EVA moulded base, and DryHaul™ Straps that make the bag easy to use and virtually impenetrable. However, the waterproofing goes one step further, and even the zip is designed to keep the water out. The zip is a Hydrolock™ Zipper, which is designed to keep water out should your bag get stuck in a rainstorm or even become submerged in water to ensure that all your valuables inside are protected from the elements. The zip is usually the first place where water can seep into a bag, and so the detail to ensure that everything down to the zip is completely waterproof highlights the innovative and durable construction of the bag by YETI.

The YETI Panga 75L Waterproof Duffel straps feature MetalLock™ hardware for added durability and can be used to carry that bag in your hand, or like a rucksack. This is perfect for carrying on your back whilst getting to your camping ground or for throwing over your arm as you embark on your adventures. However, the detailed design does just end there, as inside the bag there is a wide space for all your clothes and personal belongings, and even two mesh pockets to hold your valuables. The pockets provide plenty of space for things like your phone, keys and wallet to keep them safe and protected. I love the bright orange interior, in contrast with the lovely tan colour of the bag we tested out. The blend of these colours, with the brown straps and zip detailing gives a stylish overall look to the bag.

Overall, if you love getting away on outdoor adventures and are looking for a bag to live up to your fast paced and rugged lifestyle, the YETI Panga 75L Waterproof Duffel is the perfect bag for you. The bag is designed to deliver next level protection for your personal belonging, whilst being able to handle even the harshest of environments. Therefore, I think this would make the perfect luxury gift this Christmas, especially for someone who likes camping, hiking or fishing, to provide them with a durable, functional yet stylish bag to keep all their belongings in.  Whilst the bag is on the higher end price wise for a duffel bag, its rugged durability and complete waterproof nature ensure its one that is worth the investment and will last for many many more years and adventures to come.

Pros:

• Extremely durable bag made for harsh environments and weather conditions
• Completely waterproof including the zipper to ensure your personal belonging are kept safe
• Reinforced bag straps for easy carrying
• Stylish look whilst being hard wearing

Cons:

• High price point for a duffel bag  but for the durability, design and functionality its worth the investment if you are an avid outdoor explorer
