Choose based on mobility and how you pack. If you're on foot or commuting, a backpack (like our Ranchero™ or Cayo™) distributes weight evenly across your back. If you're packing clothes for a trip or hauling heavy gear in a boot or overhead bin, a duffel bag gives you a wide opening for easy packing. For quick access to bulky gear, wet boots, or beach towels, an open-top or zip-top Camino® tote bag lets you drop in gear and go.
