Simple, strong and travel-ready. A practical pack-away duffel that suits travel.
Gossamer Gear says:
The Vanish 38L Duffel is there when you need it—and gone when you don’t. This compact travel essential packs into its own pouch on the way out, then expands to offer 38L of extra space for the journey home, perfect for souvenirs and spontaneous finds.
Our Verdict
The Gossamer Gear Vanish 38L Duffel weighs just 214 g yet feels robust thanks to its recycled 70D Robic nylon fabric. It folds neatly into its own pocket, expanding into a spacious 38-litre bag with a large U-shaped zip and three grab handles for easy handling. The minimalist design keeps things simple, with end pockets for quick access and no unnecessary bulk.
It lacks structure, so it’s best suited to lighter loads or as an overflow bag rather than for heavy carrying. However, for travel, gym use or post-trek storage, it performs reliably and shrugs off scuffs and light moisture with ease. A well-constructed, no-fuss duffel that delivers precisely what it promises: strength, simplicity and minimal weight.
