Battenkill® Classic Duffle

We've updated this traveler's essential duffle bag while still retaining the best features that have made it a customer favorite for years. New features include solid brass riveting with a locking zipper design. The zippers now have double-knotted pulls so they won't fall off and are easy to grab, and we've added a clear 10" x 8" clear TSA-compliant bag for liquids. The plaid-lined main compartment now features two leather-trimmed neoprene slash pockets plus a zipped, molded soft-shell compartment for sunglasses or other small items. Removable snapped leather handle closure. Like the original, it features a removable padded leather and cotton shoulder strap. Full leather bottom, curved main compartment with storm flap, and an outside slash pocket, which provides quick access to travel documents. Fits in most carry-on bins. Duffle Bag in green. 12"H x 25"W x 12"D; 3,600 cu. in.

"I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband. He has already used it and loves it. The only problem is I ordered the engraved name plate and the rivet on one end was broken when we received the bag so it probably won't stay on the bag for long. Otherwise we are pleased with the purchase."

New Generation,

from Birmingham, AL
"My younger son was wanting a new duffel for Christmas and we thought this would be the perfect time to start his own Battenkill collection. My wife and I have owned the luggage for over 30 years, starting with my Battenkill briefcase. We now have at least 8 pieces and while each and every one has been well used, they have also held up remarkably well. He loves the gift and already has given me the next list."

Incredible sertvice,

"The Battenkill Classic Duffle is great. But, what makes it more than just a great product is the incredible trouble the staff at Orvis went to, to get the product delivered on time. When the product got returned in error by UPS (all my fault) they sent sent out another without waiting to get the initial one back. This is even more impressive when you realize that the product was monogrammed.
Service dosen't get any better.
Thanks

"One of the best pieces of equipment I have ever owned. I have taken this duffel on hundreds of fishing trips all over the world. Yes, it's worn, faded and tired BUT it just keeps on going."
