For years Rudy Project has offered a solid selection of duffles and backpacks designed specifically for cyclists and other endurance athletes. The Duffle Pro 56 is a mid-size duffle with well thought out features, durable construction, and typical Rudy style The 56 liter capacity is ideal for packing away all your gear for transport, but at 28" long, not overwhelmingly large. The bag as designed and built to be lightweight, but durable and abrasion resistant. The structure of the bag is reinforced by a flexible foam roll-cage, which keeps the duffle from collapsing- making it easier to access and view within. The base is padded, so when you set the bag down, you don't have to worry about damaging your helmet or other items. The abrasion resistant bottom also repels water, so you can feel comfortable sitting on damp ground or rough pavement.

The main storage access is wide, with the top opening to it's full length. The custom colored lining stands out from the exterior, making it easier to see small items inside. An interior zippered mesh compartment allows items to breathe, yet remain separate. There are multiple additional pockets: an easy access flat top pocket, complementary side and front pockets, and a vented, end shoe pocket. All zippers are from YKK, so you know these will function perfectly for the life of the bag. Reinforced side handles with a velcro style closure is ideal for hand carry, and the detachable, adjustable shoulder strap is padded for longer transitions and heavier loads. The Duffle Pro 56 is not considered waterproof, but is highly water resistant, and is easily wiped clean inside and out when necessary. This bag is a great example of why Rudy Project has been so successful with duffles. Solid details, excellent features, and pure functionality.
