GREGORY Alpaca 40

The Alpaca 40 is a weather-resistant duffel in TPU-coated, 900D recycled polyester with a three-layer padded bottom. It opens with a wide U-zip, has an expandable end pocket to keep wet or dirty gear apart, a packing cube, interior zip mesh pockets, removable padded backpack straps, daisy chains for lashing and carry handles with a fiberglass rod so they don't pinch.

Good for ski weekends, boots and layers, and short trips where you want a bag that shrugs off snow and rain. If you pack for a family or a week-long ski trip, go up to the Alpaca 60. If you want a lighter, packable duffel and don't need the coated fabric, the Supply 40 costs less.
