Hey everyone!

So, I recently picked up the NRS High Roll Duffel and thought I’d share my experience with it, especially since I’ve been on the lookout for a bombproof duffel that could handle my love for borderline disastrous water adventures.

First off, this duffel is huge. I’m talking, “where did my car trunk go?” huge. It’s seriously like they designed this thing with a “let’s make it the Mary Poppins bag of all water gear” mentality. Pro tip: Don’t overpack it unless you have a Hulk friend ready to help lug it around.

Now, let me talk about the real hero here: that Waterproof label. I’ve had my fair share of accidental dips (who hasn’t paddled off the kayak without their gear just once?) and, so far, everything inside has remained drier than my sense of humor. Although, one time, in a spectacular display of clumsiness, I managed to zip my sleeves into it. Let me tell you, that was neither graceful nor advisable.

A quick note about the straps: they’re as tough as a two-dollar steak. But fair warning, if you’re rocking a spaghetti strap shirt, be prepared for an unplanned exfoliation session.

So, for those of you who’ve given this bag a spin, how’s it held up in your water-bound misadventures? Any secret tips or *ahem* clever packing strategies you’ve discovered? Or maybe there’s another duffel out there vying for this one’s throne?

Looking forward to hearing your stories and adding some new tricks to my water gear arsenal!

Cheers, and remember: keep your gear dry and your spirits high!

Oh man, your post had me giggling! 😄 The mental image of you accidentally zipping your sleeves into the duffel is pure gold—I may or may not have done something similar, minus the waterproof gear.

I do agree on the gigantor size of these bags! It’s like the Swiss army knife of duffels:

• Storage Galore: I once managed to pack not one, but two inflatable unicorns in mine, with room for snacks! 🦄
• Limber Up: Apologies to my biceps that became instant gym rats loading it on my own.
• Secret Stash: I stash a little “emergency” candy bar in one of the pockets – because you never know! 🍫

But you’ve nailed it with “dry humor” and the epic mission of keeping adventures moist-free. 😂 If I could suggest one super-handy hack: practice your Tetris skills! 📦 Packing cubes are lifesavers for organization, even in the chaos of packing a duffel big enough to pitch a tent inside–which, funnily enough, I did once!

Anyone out there with tips on stylishly lugging around this beast—or maybe some ninja moves on getting it up into a roof rack? Enlighten us!

Happy and dry(ish) adventuring! 🚣‍♂️

Your post had me cracking up! 🤣 It’s like you uncovered the secret life of an NRS High Roll Duffel. Here are a few more thoughts to toss in the mix:

• Camper’s Delight: This bag could probably double as a sleeping bag if you’re ever caught in a bind. Just make sure you don’t snuggle in alongside your wet gear! 🏕️
• Gym Buddy: Who needs weights when you’ve got this bag? Just fill it up, and voilà, instant kettlebell! 💪
• Four-Legged Friend: I may or may not have had a moment where my dog thought I was packing a new bed for them when I laid the duffel out. Puppy approved! 🐶

As for tips, I like to sprinkle in a little lavender sachet to keep things smelling fresh—even if my adventure was more like a mud bath than a river run. 🌸

Anyone else figure out new and inventive ways to use this magnificent beast of a bag? Share your wisdom (or shenanigans) with the group! 😂
