Best American Made Duffle Bags: Filson, Bradley Mountain, Heat Straps

[@WelderVp]

The Heatstraps bag is everything you'd expect, and more. That horween leather was understated, it is phenomenal. This bag is outstanding. Heatstraps is stealing the show

[@JesterJames22]

I love the work you put into the slow upclose pan shots to show off the details. Those shots look amazing 👏

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you, I sincerely appreciate that!

[@pvalentinep12]

I love Bradley mountain and frost river from Duluth Minnesota!! Frost River takes a beating!! I've been taking my Frost River bag offshore since 2017 and its been worth every penny

[@cameronfrank8100]

I appreciate Heat Straps billowed pockets. They seem to be more capable than the other two bags

[@rapzaholik6465]

Bags made in the USA . I do love a strong duffel bag. Glad you made this video, I was seriously in the fence about the heat straps. Might be on my Xmas list now :)

[@donyconjux1]

That heatstraps bag is gorgeous. Definitely adding that to my wishlist. Thanks for another banger video Carl! Bags made in the USA all the way!

[@powercrusher67]

Bags made in the USA. I wanted a Filson 256 in Otter Green for the longest time but Vermillyea Pelle came out with a briefcase that was basically everything I was looking for in the Filson but better and I bought it almost instantly. 37oz olive waxed canvas, Sedgwick English bridle straps, hand-hammered rivets, what's not to love? And it was cheaper!

[@rmail25]

I love all the bags on here but I do think the Bradley Mountain bag is an absolute gem of a buy. Love that they're all Bags made in the USA but the Bradley Mountain just looks like a family heirloom style of bag. Maybe one day I can afford it!

[@tnan123]

Great rundown. The Heat Straps duffle is just so good with all the utility it provides. Bags Made in the USA.

[@jeffersonnegus860]

Bags made in the USA! I just got the Bradley Mountain Cabin Jacket and it's FANTASTIC! I love how much love they are getting.

[@MilkowskiSalach]

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

[@thunderusnight]

Hey Carl love the vid! I would love to see more of your good better best series, and I would also love to see some KEY apparel on your channel! Thank you.

[@SheriffDawson1]

Excellent timing. I was searching for a good travel duffel. Thank you for presenting these bags made in the USA.

[@nickgraham1210]

You're forgetting the rambler from Bradley mountain, its their largest duffle at 52L and also the most affordable

[@AndyAdventuring]

For international travel and the risk of pick-pocketing/theft, the omission of exterior pockets on the Filson is a positive. As well as the storm flap.

[@RidgidRon]

I have some travel bags amongst a lot of other items from company called Frost River. Their bags are made in the USA in Duluth Minnesota. They are worth checking out and I really enjoy their products.

[@ajmarker1324]

100%!!!!!!

[@Jkorchak]

I’m definitely digging the heat straps! Would definitely make a good birthday gift to myself since my birthday is tomorrow! Bags made in the USA

[@lindastansbury2067]

I've been searching for about a year for my perfect leather duffle bag but these are definitely pretty tempting. Bags made in the USA. Naturally.

[@willw.birnie8446]

Any time I'm feeling home sick your channel is a sure cure. In an awesome way you highlight the nutmeg spirit. Keep repping that 203! Unless you are more of an 860 kinda guy! Takes all sorts. Born in Bridgeport now I live in Brittany France. This guy was made in the USA like the " bags made in the USA" Thanks for keeping the great videos coming! Will

[@RossysusejDillenberger]

I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday

[@calebdlara]

I would really love to get some bags made in the USA someday! Just found your channel and your videos are cozy and well produced!

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you so much!

[@ArenCunia]

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !

[@kierkegaarde]

Great video! Thank you for the in-depth review. Just ordered the heat straps.

[@andreaudie5967]

I think you should make another video of bags made in the USA , this time leather ones. If I didn’t already own the Filson I think I’d go with the Pioneer. Love all the pockets

[@joefleming2053]

Bags made in the USA! I have Bradley Mountain backpack and it’s awesome! Their duffle looks like the clear winner to me in this contest.

[@_AllDayLong_]

Rustic River is also made in MN with US materials. A small maker with great customer service.

[@Theheritagetribute]

I love Bradley Mountain, I have a few backpacks and totes from them. For Bags made in the USA, BM is a very good choice. Now, I own a few Filson bags and backpacks as well, and I have absolutely nothing to complain about it. Filson materials are indestructible; if you can afford it, I think everyone should experience Filson.

[@TedNghiem]

Filson’s duffle is now $595? Yowzers! I got my medium duffle for $395 years ago.

[@MPS186282]

Bags made in the USA are the only type I want! Though I'd make ready exceptions for Mexico, Spain, Italy, and Japan.

[@TylerSnyder305]

For a bag this size I just use an early 90's German Bundisweiser mountain rucksack somebody gave me as a teenager. If I didn't have that I'd buy a USGI medium A.L.I.C.E pack at the local surplus store. For a larger back I use the big ol' USGI duffle bag my dad handed down to me. I've used it a ton, but don't really go anywhere these days and it's now used to store mu summer clothes under the bed.

[@the_true_north_edc]

Love all those bags, all heirloom duffles!! But if I was picking I would go with the heat straps just for style alone.

[@sfrank7799]

Love Bradley mountain!! They have sick backpacks too and all their bags made in the USA.

[@ljohnston5457]

Bags made in the USA My go to duffle bag for the longest time was my Dads old canvas parachute bag. That thing took a beating. Now it serves as a tent and tarps bag.

[@ronh90]

The Heat Straps bag is best of all the bags made in the USA.

[@Cinder-g2o]

Bags made in the USA. Glad to see Bradley Mountain getting some love.

[@dinobravo23]

I own about 10 or more Filson bags, including the medium duffel in the vid, in otter. Great bag. Well made and feels top notch. My issue is that Filson jacked the price up substantially about 2yrs ago. Used to cost $395. Its now $595. Way too much.

[@weaseltee]

Bags made in the USA I've been tempted by Duluth Pack. Frost River bags are also made in Duluth.

[@markusskov731]

Bags made in the USA .Truely somthing special about a bag that tells everyone that you value quality, and supporting brands that really know there place in a world of consumerism and crappy products. Nice to see brands sticking to their roots.

[@LogemannBilly]

I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said “I prefer kislux

[@Benjels480]

Bags made in the USA. The Bradley Mountain Rambler is actually the largest duffle they offer, the Ranger is more meant to be an overnight / weekend trip kind of bag. The rambler is more basic but has significantly more volume. Perhaps you can do a review of that! Also if you’re talking about briefcases, you should check out BM’s Courier.

[@458Ferrarif]

That Heat Straps bag is beautiful. Bags made in the USA

[@kawlreaper]

Bags made in the USA. Exactly what I was looking for! Trying to get my travel gear in aome sort of order. I had pixked up the Nutsac and was just plain too small. Love the Filson but a little more than I wanted to spend. I tend to overpack so I may go for the Heat Straps. I think you should do a supplemental video! Pack some boots, flannels and some of those white t shirts you have!!! Lol!

[@LEANDRO-eq3cy]

there is frost river explorer duffel bag with 102L size that cost half price of these one in the video with great quality.

[@bkellem1]

Agree. I was about to post the same thing.

[@CzWill]

What color is the Bradley mountain you’re reviewing? It’s beautiful!

[@WuWeiWannabe96]

Would love to hear your thoughts on Saddleback bags.

[@reecejones1341]

Seeing as you have worked on site for a lot of years can you please do a video on best bag for a tradesmen? Different backpacks or duffles etc…

[@mactravelandfinance]

Have a great day Carl!

[@F.R.G317]

Just got the Nicks x Heats Straps duffle on order can't wait to take it on out of state storm calls.

[@raidengreen1318]

Bags made in the USA. I've been looking for a good duffle bag for a while now. thanks for introducing me to more.

[@blackjack5908]

I fell in love with Filson's heritage wear and the classic designs they have and other manufacturers. For bags made in the USA and other gear they're amazing but still too far out of my price range. I'll go back to dreaming about a Mackinaw wool coat 😂

[@jsistheshadow]

Okay had to google Mackinaw wool coat. And now I'm dreaming about one too! Even though I live in the sweltering heat of south India I still want one!! 😂

[@stephenupman1478]

Bags made in the USA. Love my Filson Excursion bag. Does everything I need it to do and more.

[@dennisnguyen8105]

I have 3 Filson bags, a bunch of Mulholland Bros, Will Leather Goods, etc... Too many duffle bags of all types of materials to count but if I have to buy another canvas duffle bag now, i would buy the Cravar CO Travel duffle in canvas/leather. Good looks, organization, full leather bottom, veg tanned leather. All for $360 delivered. For the price of the Filson you can get the all leather version. Filson bags have become so expensive. I can't believe my 2006 Medium Field Bag is now $595.

[@marlenakauer5262]

Bags made in the USA Great review! I traveled for the first time with a four wheeled suitcase and I gotta say don’t think I can go back. 😂 but these bags are definitely way cooler and better looking than a hard shell carry on.

[@CarlMurawski]

Totally agree! Rolling a suitcase is FAR better than carrying anything. Although that’s where the luggage strap on Heat Staps bag comes in handy.

[@cctvspystore]

Bags made in the USA , sure sounds good to me & I would have to agree that the Bradley Mountain is the perfect blend of form & function

[@steveboyd6571]

Bags Made in the USA....Cheers. Love the older Filson stuff. Current Filson is tough to take the price and being made off-shore. Heat Straps products are simply BEAST! Have their vest and love it.

[@MythDealer]

The Medium Duffle is made here.....

[@___demo]

Bags made in the USA. Huge fan of Bradley Mountain's work, their hats and beanies are great.

[@Pjohnson338]

I had always wanted Filson but ended up with Duluth Pack and Frost River bags. Love them both, and they are made in Minnesota, so that was a plus. I just can’t justify the additional cost of Filson.

[@mikepressley3956]

Bags made in the USA are my favorite. I love the history of Filson but with all the other bags out there, it’s hard to swallow that price.

[@titletowngoods3845]

Bags made in the USA. One brand to mention is Vermilyea Pelle - I have a number of bags from them and they take everything about the Filson and elevate every detail.

[@n00bstacle]

Patagonia makes good duffles too. I use mine for work and love it

[@TheRealEricRose]

Heatstraps quality is unmatched!!!

[@michaelshearer3559]

I'm liking that Heatstraps bag!

[@The_Distance_111]

Bags made in the USA. I like all three, although I’d be interested in seeing the Bradley Mountain in the other color. The Heat Straps looks cool, but I’m not sure about the contrasting color for the pockets. Certainly the Filson rugged twill looks great, however maybe a full width external pocket on one or both ends wouldn’t disrupt the otherwise clean exterior.

[@arancourt5623]

alternatively you can go to any military surplus shop and pick up a duffle bag for $20 and not have had to spend all this money. lol

[@tarutrit]

The heat straps bag seems perfect for us, always lugging around laptops, computers, whatever else. Bags made in the USA would go a long way here

[@Dan-lq6dg]

ANOTHER CARL M BANGER VIDEO!

[@150esc]

Out of all the Bags made in the USA the heat straps is the one that interest me the most.

[@brianeharmonjr]

I don't think I have any Bags made in the USA but will definitely check out the other options here. Love Filson, but I think that Heat Straps joint is the way to go.

[@ryanace5257]

Bags made in the USA is the best IMO but i hope you can give me a recomendation for a backpack made in the USA thanks for the videos!

[@ediah5]

One question sir 🙋🏻‍♂️ what size Heat Strap Pioneer did you experience? Small or medium? Their website has these two sizes available but the medium screenshots look rather large.

[@CarlMurawski]

This was the OG which I believe is now called the medium.

[@ericksnow2767]

I didn’t know Heat Straps made a bag! I would probably pick theirs out of the three. Bags made in the USA.

[@ronjohnson8816]

Do you have any plans to go over polo shirts?

[@kevinleyva3003]

I got my Filson medium duffle (otter green) a few years ago for $395. At the time, I felt that was steep but never regretted the purchase and still love using it when I travel. But for $595 nowadays? Oof. It’s a hard call, but I’d go with Bradley Mountain. I have their Biographer backpack and love it just as much as the Filson.

[@desertreview367]

Bags made in the USA! Gotta love quality American made products. Would love to see some vids on quality American made shoes

[@jdkalscheur]

Have you checked out Duluth Pack bags?

[@jerryc5842]

You should look at Duluth Pack made in Duluth MN, USA. only been around for more than 100 years. Similar to Filson.

[@papayafigure]

Bags made in the USA. I loved the Heat Straps bag!

[@SilverOilman]

Bags made in the USA. I have a Filson that I got from my in-laws. I had the chance to claim a garment bag and a second duffle but I was an ignorant fool and turned them down. That said, the Filson I kept has been my go-to travel bag for work and vacations and it’s been phenomenal. Knowing there are top notch competitors is great because eventually this bag will bite the dust. It is of the older design with the two shoulder strap d-rings on the same side. That’s the only thing about it that I don’t care for.

[@CreachterZ]

I was on the cusp of getting a Filson rolling carry-on bag and then they decided to discontinue it! Any suggestions for me?

[@toddhull7496]

Bags made in the USA. I have a filson bag & I would agree the need to step it up & add features.

[@MemphisCorollaS]

Bags made in USA Good to see that there are several good options out there

[@therenaissancetinker2972]

Have you ever used RedOxx bags?

[@Muscovy7]

Bags made in the USA - I prefer the rugged look of the Heat Straps and for travel a dirty laundry pocket is essential.

[@G_Carter]

If you’re looking for Bags Made in the USA I would suggest you also check out Vermilyea Pelle. Their 20” duffel is on my wish list. Outstanding craftsmanship for my $. Cheers.

[@camrock8]

Bags made in the USA. If i dint already have the Ship John duffel id be alllll over that Heatstrap bag, what a workhorse!

[@davidsimon2412]

I love bags made in the USA!

[@slicksauce]

Bags made in the USA . Bradley mountain definitely looks the best.

[@DarkFire515]

I think any of these bags would be great options and would last for years. All pretty expensive but in my experience bags are one of those products where you usually get what you pay for.

[@andrewapathy3769]

"Bags made in the USA" Another great video! Very interested what you have in store for us!

[@jtm2957]

Bags made in the USA. Great video! Hey I was just curious if you or anyone here had a chance to look at some of the leather and waxed canvas bags that I seen advertised by Thursday Boot Company at all yet? I wasn’t sure how well made they were. I do realize they probably are not made in the states lol.

[@nate_k9277]

Nutsac makes a fantastic duffel and I loooove mine and it’s 300 bucks

[@adamkreuz9068]

I'm curious how many guys actually use duffle bags? What occasion? What do you feel the pros are? Cons? I find myself wanting to buy one but when I think about it I can't see myself using it so I'm curious

[@markus4716]

Bags made in the USA. Looking to replace my weekend getaway bag with this style of waxed canvas bag.

[@1eparry]

Not really a direct comparison to these but Steel Canvas also makes a waxed canvas duffle. American made and only $200.

[@fredsoldi9006]

Do you know some Good European duffle Bag options? Or Good bags for every day?

[@grantlahue]

Why didn't you review the NutSac duffle bag? As far as I know it is made in the USA.

[@shreyanshjain5871]

have you tried nutsac? they make some solid bags. Bags made in the USA

[@tanksouth]

Thank you, sir.

[@funionsflagons7844]

any honorable mentions for the NutSac duffel?

[@lindad.8412]

Bags made in the USA. All great bags funny how I've been wanting to invest into a great American made bag, and you release this video 😂
