Duffel Pro Movo 60

The Deuter Duffel Pro Movo 60 is a tough expedition-style duffel that rolls through the airport and goes on your back when the footpath turns to gravel. Wheel it to the gate, then sling it over your shoulders for the walk from the bus stop to the lodge.

Who it's for

Travellers heading somewhere the ground is not always smooth: a ski week in Niseko, a dive trip to Vanuatu, a road trip that ends at a campground. Deuter rate it five out of five for travelling.

Capacity and what fits

60 litres in a 74 x 35 x 33 cm bag takes clothes for a week or more, a pair of boots and a wash bag, with room for a wetsuit or ski layers. Internal compression straps hold everything in place when it is half full. Deuter recommend a load of 10-20 kg.

Wheels, chassis and carrying

Two replaceable silent-glide wheels and a stable, reinforced base handle airport floors and footpaths. The luggage handle extends for rolling and stows when you do not need it. On rough ground, unpack the shoulder straps from their pocket and carry it like a backpack, fitting back lengths of 38-54 cm; clip the straps together and they become a carry handle. Padded grab handles help with the lift into a boot or onto a roof rack.

Organisation inside

A wide zipped arch on the front opens the whole main compartment, so you can see everything without digging. Inside there is a mesh pocket and a zipped compartment for small things, and a zipped pocket on top holds documents and chargers. The main zip takes a padlock on its anchor point.

Durability and weight

The body is 600D polyester with a TPU coating, a tarpaulin-style fabric that shrugs off tears, abrasion, rain and dirt. Reinforced base edges take the knocks of baggage handling. Empty weight is 3320 g, which buys you the wheels, handle and backpack harness in one bag.

Looking after it

If a wheel wears out after years of travel, it can be replaced rather than retiring the bag. The bag is bluepass and Green Button certified and made without intentionally added PFAS.
