American bag brand Wandrd was initially motivated by the desire to create a camera bag that was both functional and looked 'sexy'. The words sexy and duffel rarely go together, if at all, so we were keen to see if the brand had managed to achieve this marriage with its Carryall Duffel.
Founded by four brothers with a penchant for travel and photography, it’s fair to say the stylings of Wandrd's range lean more towards globetrotting, Interrailing and camera carrying than they do towards hauling climbing gear to a remote base camp, especially when compared to the likes of Patagonia or Cotopaxi's offerings. This is despite the Wandrd logo featuring the silhouette of a mountain. Nevertheless, a bag is a bag. If there’s capacity for a rope, harness and helmet, and it’s durable enough to withstand a bit of abuse, it’ll do nicely, regardless of its appearance.
