Highly Commended

These are the pieces that just missed out, and in most cases, by the smallest of margins. To them, we award a High Commendation. The below were of outstanding quality, displaying fine craftsmanship and design flair. With honor, we bow our heads in the utmost respect and kudos. If this were a dais, they’d be biting their teeth into silver medals, while their flags were hoisted into the horizon – a feat not to be overlooked. And we’re sure they’ll be back, to take it one notch higher, next year.

Prometheus Design Werx All Terrain Duffel

Need a bag that will tackle any terrain in all elements? The Prometheus Design Werx All Terrain Duffel lives up to its name, offering a burly and waterproof build that shrugs off hard use and harsh weather and simply asks, “What next?”

The waterproof IPX7 rating allows the bag to be submerged in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes, making this a great choice for boating trips or land travel in extreme weather conditions. In addition to padded grab handles, the duffel also includes removable padded shoulder straps for flexible portability. Exterior daisy chain gives you the freedom to secure additional items externally, while an interior zippered pocket provides secure yet accessible storage for smaller items. When adventure calls and you can’t afford for your gear to get wet, the All Terrain Duffel won’t let you down. Super effort, Prometheus Design Werx!

Osprey Farpoint Wheeled Travel Pack 65L

Osprey have been in the carry game for almost five decades and their extensive experience shows in pieces like the Farpoint Wheeled Travel Pack 65L. The bag offers a selection of well-thought-out features to make your travels as easy as possible. The front panel main compartment opens up wide for convenient packing and gear access, while the design remains lightweight but ready for demanding travel use by integrating tough fabrics in areas of high wear.

Of course, key to successful travel is the ability to adapt on the fly and the Farpoint Wheeled Travel Pack has you well covered here. In smoother and flatter terrain such as airports or pavements, the wheels let you easily haul your gear from A to B. However, when things get a little rougher or you need to ascend steps, simply deploy the stowable harness and hip belt for comfortable backpack carry. Plus with top and side grab handles you can maneuver the bag in tight spaces too. If you need dependable, adaptable and functional luggage for your next trip, this bag is ready to embrace a world of exploration. Well done, Osprey!
