RIVERSMITH CONVOY DUFFEL

Built to protect. Designed to carry. Works like a tool, not a tote.
A true gear hauler made for anglers who move hard and travel far.

Key Advantages

Foam-Reinforced Structure

Unlike soft duffels that collapse or sag, the Convoy Duffel uses a lightweight foam chassis to add shape and protection without unnecessary weight. It stays open for easy packing, holds its form under load, and shields gear from being crushed during travel.

Multiple Carry Options

Carry it with standard hand straps (top or end-mounted) or wear it as a backpack using the deployable straps. This is a true hauler built for loading and moving gear efficiently.

Efficient Access Without Extra Weight

Full clamshell zip-top opens wide for easy packing and access to all gear. When weather turns, deploy the integrated roll-top cover for fully waterproof protection. You get all-conditions coverage without relying on stiff, heavy submersible zippers. Total weight: 3.3 lb.

Organized Internal Layout

Sized for clothing, waders, boots, reels, fly boxes, and travel gear—without wasted space or bulk. The internal structure keeps gear separated and accessible, while external straps secure rod tubes or other long items outside the main cavity. No more digging through a soft, unstructured duffel to find what you need.

Built for Wet Gear and Harsh Conditions

Water-resistant exterior. Rugged 600D TPU-coated fabric. Wet/dry gear zones keep your load organized, and the internal roll-top compartment deploys when needed to keep your essentials dry in serious weather.

Ask the Right Question

You get 50 pounds of weight on the plane—why burn 10 of it on the bag?

Do you want a heavy, overbuilt dry bag with one big pocket, or a lightweight, structured hauler that’s easy to pack and access?

The Convoy Duffel gives them internal compartments, external rod tube straps, and waterproof protection only when they need it. No stiff zippers, no wasted space, no extra weight.

If you care about traveling smarter, packing cleaner, and finding gear fast, this is the bag that gets it done.
