Solving the headaches of travel
We've carried our gear to over 107 countries, and we've hit a few obstacles along the way. Years in the making, the Mara Travel Duffel is our answer to the headaches of travel:
Can I carry a duffel as easily and comfortably as a backpack?
Can my shoulder straps easily stow, so they won't get snagged in baggage?
Can my bag come with internal pockets so I can stay organized?
Can my bag be lightweight AND be strong enough to protect my gear from the elements?
The answer is YES.

"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." Read the full review here

"Hands down the best duffel I have ever traveled with. A duffel bag wouldn't usually be something that I would get excited about, but then again, I've never had a duffel from Gura Gear! It should come as no surprise that it's a super quality product, but the one thing that really separates this duffel from others is the backpack straps. They make traveling so much easier and comfortable. These also come in 4 different sizes, so whether you're just going somewhere for the night, or taking a road trip for a few weeks, they've got you covered."

FAQs

Inventory is here in Los Angeles and preparing to ship
Are different colors available?
Yes! We have made 40L and 60L in Pacific Blue, Sahara Tan, and a new Federal Yellow.










The Mara Travel Duffel is well designed and thought out. I have the 60L version and it can hold all me gear with room to spare. I have also used the duffel for clothing and the included insert for shoes and accessories at not extra cost was a nice bonus. This duffle is durable enough to go into checked luggage or in the overhead if you keep the weight below airline restrictions. Plenty of space and waterproof as well, this durable duffel is what you would expect from Gura Gear. Highly recommend!
Just returned from my first trip to Botswana with the Mara Duffle. Great carry-on bag for the trip to SA, but I checked the bag from Johannesburg to Kasane. The bag arrived on the belt at Kasane with the Main Zipper blown out. Only a small area of the zipper was open, and the lock was still in place;, nothing was missing. A reverse zip of the zipper resolved the issue, but it was concerning that the zipper had failed so easily. Not sure how I can trust the bag fully if the zipper can fail so soon.
Love it, wish colors were available when I ordered.
