PART OF

THE MILLION MILE COLLECTION

This collection is a search for enduring timelessness within technical bags. Can we turn from techy trends and marketing gadgetry to imagine designs that perform at the highest level yet maintain an ease and purity that is enduring? These new designs should feel familiar to you, because they are takes on classic shapes and modes of carry that have been evolving for decades. We added nothing ‘new’ just for the sake of new. We took great care to honor timeless elements while upgrading materials and details to bring about a more evolved design built for right now and beyond. Welcome to the next evolution.



THE ULTIMATE FABRIC: MANDARIN 840™

The hero of our bags, this premium super fabric is specially woven to endure the longest hauls while maintaining a professional composure for the perfect combination of grit and grace.Woven with twisted yarn ballistic nylon for a denser, stronger weave. Featuring a DWR finish and backed with a waterproof membrane. Mandarin 840™ is a heavyweight high-tenacity nylon fabric with a rich and unique dobby weave. It exhibits excellent abrasion resistance while maintaining a supremely luxurious hand-feel.



STANDS UP FOR ITSELF

Serious pro-grade backpacks must stand up on their own. And those that do are in a class all to themselves. This was a non-negotiable when we started designing the Duration and if you've never had a bag that stands you don't know what you're missing.

ELEVATED INTERIOR

Opens full length for easy packing and organizing. Features a highly considered and tested internal lay-out that doesn't cheap-out. This bag is premium inside and out. Featuring our rugged rip-stop nylons- never polyester.

THAT'S MY BAG!

Claim your bag and enjoy peace of mind while you're out and about with this removable luggage tag custom built for your bag and placed out of the way.

PREMIUM ZIPS

We custom sculpted our zipper pulls and gave them a nice taper and heft and strengthened them above standard. They feel oh so good. Placed on large YKK VIzlon™ teeth on the entire bag-this is the most enduring zipper available and much easier to fix if ever jammed than common coil zippers.

2.0 VERSION

  • Suspended laptop sleeve.
  • More interior pockets
  • Refined shaping and design
  • more capacity. Now 22L. V1 was 18L.





★★★★★
"From the fabric to the zippers, you can tell that you are getting the thoughtfully sourced components the price point would lead you to believe you'd receive."

So very meh

I want to love this bag, I really do. Writing this while wrapping up my first trip with the backpack.

Pros:
The bag stands up on its own, even empty. Super convenient.
Zippers are super satisfying
Great green color and bag texture is thick

Cons:
Bag is heavy, but not too much of a concern for me
Front pockets are hugely disappointing, I’m barely able to fit a glasses case and energy bar in the top pocket and I’m cramming my fairly empty tech pouch in the lower one. Not as functional as I’d want it to be.
The straps aren’t great and they’re stiff. I imagine they’re loosen up but the straps like to wing out both when using the luggage pass through as well as it laying on its back. I had to regularly fidget with the backpack to keep the strap from drooping into the aisle of my airplane flight while under the seat in front of me.

Just like my review of the Safari pack, this is probably too cumbersome to return so I’m gonna keep it and try to learn to love it but I think a v3 iteration is probably due.

Overly Impressed

Was skeptical - liked the general aesthetics but was hesitant because of so many reviews online calling out different aspects of the bag. After owning this bag for a few weeks, all the online reviews and concerns really vanished. It is super beautiful, comfortable, super super well made, and I feel like I will use this bag forever. Highly recommend.

Incredible everyday pack

I’ve been using the Pioneer Carry Duration Pack for a while now, and it’s hands-down one of the best bags I’ve owned. The materials are top notch and you can feel the quality every time you pick it up. The zippers are buttery smooth, the straps are incredibly comfortable, and the whole bag just feels thoughtfully designed.

I especially love how the main compartment opens all the way for easy access, and the fact that the bag stands on its own is a small but hugely appreciated detail. Everything about this pack feels intentional and premium. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something durable, functional, and stylish.
