Cabin bag that last for years
I have two of the XL version of that North Face Base Camp bag and those things are indestructible. I use them for camping, including driving with them on the roof of the truck in all kinds of weather (rain, snow, etc). I also use them as checked bags every year when I go to Japan. Both bags still look completely new. I love them.

Cabin bag that last for years
I’ve been using a North Face Base Camp bag as my main bag (moderate to heavy travel) for the past 17 or so years and it looks and performs like the day I got it.

Cabin bag that last for years
I have a North Face Base Camp bag as a motorbike backpack/whatever else I need it for. I ride in all weathers and commute maybe 150km a week. I swear I will actually need to crash and slide it along the road to kill it.

Duffle Bag Recommendation
Does it need to be waterproof? If it does not, then I recommend the Roadtripper from REI. If you need some water resistance than The North Face Base Camp has held up very well for me. I got a yellow one that is about 10 years old that is still going strong.

Duffel bag and other luggage suggestions?
Duffel bag go with Patagonia black hole or north face base camp. I got a used north face base camp I got cheap on eBay. Patagonia seems like it will last forever and the new color schemes are much subtler than thanks ones. I have a small rei roadtripper and love it. Both my road tripper and Patagonia black hole pack up in to a small cube.
