Early reviews

  • "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

    Dan Carr, Shuttermuse

  • "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."

  • "The Mara Duffel has now become my favorite travel duffel to take around the world. Right out of the box, you can tell its quality is built to last and to withstand the impacts of travel. The duffel provides numerous zippered pockets for exceptional organization while on the road." @mikemezphoto

I now have both the 40L and 60L.

Iv'e owned gura Gear products since 2010 and never looked back. These duffles are no exception and are of the highest quality. I expect they will last for a long long time. Great job guys

Mara duffel makes the idea of owning another roller board seem utterly stupid.

This understated bag looks simple enough, but packs a technical punch for a reasonable price. I won't buy any other carry-on bag since traveling with my Mara duffel. It is so light, so durable, so water resistant and so meticulously manufactured, the idea of wheels on luggage now seems pointless. Professional but distinctive style, it holds more than the typical roller suitcase and fits in the overhead better.
