Built for the trips that need more
When a weekend bag just isn't enough
Some trips need more than a carry-on can offer. Whether you're hauling team gear to base camp, kitting out for an extended expedition, or need serious capacity for a genuinely long trip away, our range of expedition duffle bags is built to take the load, and take a beating while doing it.
These aren't oversized versions of a weekend bag. Expedition-grade duffles use heavier denier fabrics, reinforced bases, and genuine weather resistance, built for rough handling from cargo holds to gravel riverbeds, not just a hotel lobby.
What makes a duffle "expedition grade"
Genuine durability
Heavier denier fabrics, reinforced bases, and protected zippers mean these bags handle rough handling trip after trip, not just one season.
Real weather resistance
Coated, water-resistant fabrics keep gear dry through rain, humidity, and general transit abuse, whatever the trip throws at it.
Serious capacity
From 70L for extended solo trips through to 100L for shared team gear or genuinely long expeditions without resupply.

Thinking about Kokoda?
Porters, weight limits, and genuinely tough conditions all shape what duffle you should bring. We've broken down exactly what to pack, and why a duffle beats a suitcase every time on this trek.

Exped Tempest 100L Duffle Bag
One hundred litres. Seven hundred and thirty grams. That ratio is the whole argument for the Exped Tempest 100 Duffle.
Most duffels this size weigh two to three times as much. The Tempest gets there by doing away with padding, structure and pockets, and putting everything into a waterproof fabric that's tougher than its weight suggests. It's an expedition bag rather than a travel bag, and it behaves like one.
Properly waterproof, not just weather-resistant
This is the part that separates the Tempest from almost everything else in the range. The fabric is waterproof and so is the zip — not a storm flap, not a laminate that sheds rain, an actual waterproof closure.
That matters if your gear travels by boat, sits on a deck, rides in an open tray, or gets left out at a trailhead in weather. A Patagonia Black Hole will keep rain off your clothes. The Tempest will still be dry after a river crossing or a wet crossing to an island camp.
Built to be filled and dragged
Exped publishes a 25 kg load limit, which is more useful information than most brands give you. It tells you the bag is engineered for a specific load and where the honest ceiling sits. Fill 100 litres with heavy gear and you'll hit that limit before you run out of space.
An extra-long centre zip runs most of the length of the bag, so the whole thing opens flat rather than making you dig through a narrow opening. At this volume that's the difference between finding your headtorch and unpacking everything onto the ground.
How it carries
Removable padded shoulder straps give it a backpack function for moving it from vehicle to camp, or through a terminal. As with any unstructured duffel there's no frame or hip belt, so 25 kg on your back is a short-distance proposition, not a walk-in.
The straps come off entirely when you don't want them — useful, because loose webbing is what catches on conveyor belts and gets torn off in transit.
Who it's not for
If you want pockets, dividers or organisation, buy something else. This is a waterproof sack with a very good zip, and that's deliberate. If you want a bag that looks right walking into a hotel, the Patagonia Black Hole 70L is the better-looking, better-organised option. And if 100 litres is more than you'll fill, the Tempest 70 is the same bag in a more manageable size.
Tempest 100 or Patagonia Black Hole 70L?
They're priced within $30 of each other and they're not really competing for the same job.
Choose the Tempest if waterproofing matters, if weight matters, or if the bag will live outdoors — expeditions, paddling, dive and boat trips, remote work, anything involving a tinnie.
Choose the Black Hole if it's mostly airports, road trips and camping in ordinary weather, and you want pockets, a padded base and a bag that doesn't look like equipment.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the Exped Tempest 100 Duffle in Australia?
$329.90, reduced from $379.90 — a saving of 13%. We're an official Australian stockist with stock held locally, so that's genuine product with full warranty support. We also donate $3.30 from this purchase to environmental charities through 1% for the Planet.
Is the Exped Tempest actually waterproof?
Yes — both the fabric and the zipper are waterproof, which is unusual at this weight. This is a meaningful step up from the "weather-resistant" rating on most duffels, including the Patagonia Black Hole range. It will keep gear dry on a boat deck, in an open tray, or sitting out in sustained rain.
Why does the weight show a range of 730 g to 950 g?
Exped quotes a minimum and maximum weight. The lower figure is the bag stripped of removable components; the higher figure is everything fitted, including the shoulder straps. Either way, 100 litres under a kilogram is exceptional — a comparable Patagonia Black Hole 70L weighs 1,365 g for 30 litres less.
What does the 25 kg load limit mean?
It's the maximum weight the bag is engineered to carry safely. Most brands don't publish one. With 100 litres of space you'll usually reach 25 kg before you run out of room, so treat it as the real capacity ceiling rather than the volume figure.
Can I check it in on a flight?
Yes — this is check-in luggage, far beyond any cabin limit at 80 cm long. Its stated dimensions total 151 cm linear, which sits under the 158 cm limit most airlines apply, though a fully stuffed soft bag will bulge past its nominal measurements. Check your airline's allowance if you're packing it to capacity.
Does it have any pockets or internal organisation?
Minimal. The Tempest is built as a lightweight waterproof hauler, and organisation costs weight. Use dry bags or packing cubes inside it. If you want built-in compartments, the Patagonia or Fjällräven options in our range suit better.
Should I get the 70L or the 100L?
The 70L handles a week of personal gear or a solo expedition kit. Go to the 100L for group gear, bulky items like sleeping bags and wetsuits, or trips where you're carrying equipment rather than clothes. The weight difference between them is small, so if you're genuinely torn, the larger one costs you little to own.
Can I carry it as a backpack?
The padded shoulder straps are removable and work for short carries — vehicle to camp, jetty to tent. There's no frame or hip belt, so a heavily loaded 100L sits low and unsupported. Take the straps off for transit so they can't snag on baggage systems.
