Shuttermuse has the exclusive first review of our new Mara Travel Duffels

Shuttermuse has the first detailed review of our new Mara Travel Duffel and the analysis is a must read.

Shuttermuse was provided with advance access to our new bags but Gura Gear did not see the review before it was published

A few highlights:

"The Gura Gear Mara Travel Duffels are designed to complement the US brand’s Kiboko camera bags, popular among nature and wildlife photographers. Made from durable X-Pac VX21 material and designed with travel-friendliness in mind, Gura Gear says that the Mara Travel Duffel’s lightweight design can help photographers and other travelers meet strict baggage requirements, such as a 20-lb limit on an internal safari transfer in East Africa or a flight to Antarctica.

Regarding the 100L size:

"the Mara 100L duffel bag beats the competition’s weight-to-volume ratio by a much wider margin in the 100L size than in the smaller sizes. Nobody else makes an X-Pac duffel bag in this volume, so the Mara 100L duffel’s volume-to-weight ratio is a unique selling point in the world of travel luggage.

In conclusion: 

"make no mistake; the Gura Gear Mara Travel Duffels are premium travel bags with price tags to match. The question is, has Gura Gear managed to design a set of travel bags that live up to the quality and thoughtfulness of design that is appreciated so much in its camera bags?

 

The answer is an easy “Yes.” But whether or not you should buy one is a little more complicated. Gura Gear has taken its usual approach to bag design and cuts no corners with hardware and material choices. The Mara Travel Duffels feature the finest zippers, buckles, mesh materials, and face fabrics you could reasonably imagine using on a bag for rugged world travel. The combination of light-but-strong X-Pac VX21 and VX42 gives these bags incredible volume-to-weight ratios that beat everything on the market when you compare the larger sizes.

 

"There’s no doubt, then, that if you want to carry a large amount of gear in the lightest possible way while still protecting it from the rigors of air travel, or even yak travel for that matter, the Gura Gear Mara Travel Duffel raises the bar."
