As a mountain biker and overlander, the Thule RoundTrip MTB Duffel 70L addresses a familiar pain point for us active, adventurey types – where to put all that stuff.
At 70 liters, it handles the larger trail- and full face helmets, plus body armor, goggle or shades, and multiple clothing layers. The spring wire opening keeps the bag standing wide open like a doctor’s bag, offering clear visibility into your organized chaos.
What sets this duffel apart is its modular approach to organization. Removable divider panels let you configure the interior layout based on your ride type—more space for bulky pads on park days, smaller compartments for nutrition and tools during endurance events.
A dedicated shoe compartment has tarpaulin lining for easy cleaning, while protective panels safeguard goggles and glasses from scratches.
The bag includes both backpack straps and grab handles, switching between carry modes depending on whether you’re hiking to a trailhead or just hauling gear from your car. A standing mat provides a clean platform for shoe changes, particularly useful when parking lots resemble mud wrestling arenas.
Why it looks good for Overlanding
And all of that is why it also makes a great bag for recovery gear and basic tools.
Throw the larger tow straps in the main helmet area, and keep shackles, snatch rings, gloves, etc. in the smaller compartments. It should even fit a tool roll, keeping all the things you need for quick fixes handy.
Then, use the standing mat to lay everything out for repairs so you don’t lose bolts, bits, and tools in the dirt or grass.
It measures 28.1 x 15.9 x 12.4 inches, weighs 5.1lbs, holds 70 liters and has bluesign certification. MSRP is $179.95, available in deep khaki and black.
