At Pyrene Bushcraft, we have selected travel bags made from durable materials: waxed canvas, genuine leather, and meticulous finishes. Luggage designed to last and accompany you on all your expeditions, from nature weekends to long-haul trips.
Why choose your travel bag from Pyrene Bushcraft?
Our travel bags are distinguished by their exceptional robustness. The waxed canvas resists shocks, abrasion, and bad weather. Reinforced seams and solid closures withstand repeated handling during travel. These bags endure years without showing weakness, developing a patina that tells your adventures.
Our range of travel bags includes:
- Duffles: cylindrical or rectangular bags with a large opening, practical for loading and accessing contents
- Flight bags: formats optimized for air travel, compatible with cabin or hold depending on size
- Weekend bags: medium capacities perfect for a few days' getaway
- Large volumes: for long expeditions requiring a lot of equipment
These bags complement your backpack: the travel bag transports everything to the starting point, the backpack takes over on the trails.
Buying guide: choosing the right travel bag
What capacity for what trip?
For a weekend of two to three days, a 30 to 50 liter bag is usually sufficient. It holds changes of clothes, a toiletry bag, and a few accessories. It's also the ideal format for cabin baggage on a plane.
For a week or an expedition with technical equipment, aim for 50 to 80 liters. This volume allows you to carry a sleeping bag, clothes for several days, and specific equipment without compressing the contents.
Beyond 80 liters, bags are suitable for long expeditions or transporting bulky equipment such as tents and shelters.
Duffle or flight bag?
The classic duffle offers a large volume in a flexible and compressible format. Its wide opening facilitates loading and accessing belongings. When empty, it folds and stores easily. It is the versatile format par excellence, suitable for all modes of transport.
The flight bag adopts a more structured, often rectangular shape, optimized for air travel. Some models comply with cabin baggage dimensions. Their exterior pockets facilitate access to travel documents and small accessories.
Carrying and comfort
Most travel bags offer several carrying options: short handles for hand carrying, a removable shoulder strap for shoulder carrying. For large volumes, check the solidity of the attachment points and the comfort of the strap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a duffle as cabin baggage?
This depends on the capacity and dimensions. Models from 30 to 40 liters generally comply with cabin limits. Check the exact dimensions and restrictions of your airline before traveling.
How to maintain a waxed canvas travel bag?
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, gently brush the canvas. Apply special wax periodically to maintain waterproofing. Condition the leather with a suitable cream.
Can a travel bag be used as a backpack?
Some models have integrated or compatible shoulder straps allowing them to be carried as a backpack. For regular use on trails, a real backpack remains more comfortable thanks to its optimized carrying system.
What is the difference with a hard-shell suitcase?
A soft travel bag adapts to storage spaces and compresses when empty. Lighter than a suitcase, it is more resistant to outdoor conditions. Waxed canvas withstands shocks and bad weather where rigid plastic can break.
