Picked this over X-PAC after ordering both (black versions). I went with this due to the fact the interior color was a beautiful green vs an ugly gold on the X-PAC.

Water resistance is the same on both and durability wise I think the non X-PAC would handle abrasions better but if light is your thing you can save a few ounces with the X-PAC version that still looks great.

Overall if your torn, order this one and return it if you're not happy. But unless you don't like the interior green or prefer gold, order X-PAC.

FYI, Boundary offers a service called blackcart where you can order something without paying for it. If you return it in 5 days you'll be fine. I did this both bags and ordered both.

Hopes this helps others!

I wanted to like this bag. It appears to be very well made. I sent it back, however, because of the shininess of the material. It looks cheap to me (personal opinion only).

Perfect fit for me !

I use it for many ocasion, Yoga ( I strap my mat on the side), weekend vacation, gym, etc

I often go to bissiness trip to oversea. I always use only this bag. lt can contain clothes for 3-4days. It is usefull for me.

The quality and craftsmanship of this duffel bag at this price point is unmatched. The modularity makes this so much more than just a duffel bag. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. The phrase bang for your buck is an understatement when it comes to this item.
