High Sierra Sport Company Review & GIVEAWAY

We don't travel a lot, but when we did take a vacation in January we only had duffel bags. Well carrying those around, plus a laptop, plus a toddler was not easy. We are taking a residency vacation in July to Minnesota and We can not do the Duffel thing again. So I contacted High Sierra Sport and was so happy when they said yes. Now our traveling wouldn't be as difficult!

They sent me the 30" Wheeled Cargo Duffel. We're so happy with it so far. We haven't actually gotten a chance to use it yet, but we like how big it is. You can fit anything in it!!

This last picture here shows the side pockets. It has one on each side and it's hard to explain but I couldn't get a good picture of it. If you open the middle main part of the duffel on the side here where these pockets are, it velcros up making this side pocket smaller, OR you undo the velcro and it makes these side pockets bigger... WITH ME??
So I think it's real neat if you're traveling with a lot of shampoo's, toothpastes, deodorants etc. Things you don't want on your clothes. You can make one or both pockets bigger for those things that may leak. 

I like the wheels. I don't want to be carrying around a duffel bag and I like the regular luggage that is wheeled, but I like the look of the duffel bag, so this gives me the best of both worlds!!



For over 30 years, High Sierra Sport Company is a family-owned organization, committed to producing thoughtfully innovative bags and luggage that appeal to the intelligence and esteem of the active lifestyle and outdoor consumer.

High Sierra Sport Company has strived to give you the bags you need at a price you can afford. Specializing in adventure travel, our dedication to function, design, and quality shines in each and every one of our products. From athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, to students, travelers, and professionals, our versatile, innovative products are sure to fit your needs.

Founded in 1978 as H. Bernbaum Import & Export Company by Harry Bernbaum and Hank Bernbaum, High Sierra Sport Company has grown to become the tenth largest outdoor company in the United States (Sporting Goods Business, November 1999). Today, High Sierra Sport Company employs 40 people and distributes and sells to more than 1500 retailers and 2250 corporate accounts worldwide. High Sierra Sport Company is the official supplier of bags to the U.S. Ski and Snowboarding teams and its memberships include the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA), SnowSports Industries America (SIA) and the Travel Goods Association (TGA)

I think all that is pretty darn impressive!!

Price: This one I reviewed is about $117 from the places I've looked. This is a bit expensive to me, as our set of 3 duffel bags was about $100. But I think because of the wheels it makes it pretty worth it.

Overall: **** 1/2 Love this duffel and I hope it will do us very good on our trip in July. But I wish the price was a little cheaper!


 *Disclaimer* I received these products directly from the Company for Review. I was not paid to try out these products!*
