Is the RTIC Road Trip Duffel good for carry-on use?

It works as a carry-on if you pack light, but its size and soft sides mean it can bulge. Check your airline's carry-on limits before relying on it.

No. It has a telescopic handle meant to slide over the handle of rolling luggage, so the duffel itself is carried by hand.

What is the bag made of?

It uses a nylon shell with a zipper closure. Nylon is light and resists abrasion, but it is not fully waterproof.

It is simpler and sturdier than most wheeled duffels, with no wheels or frame to break. The trade-off is that you carry its weight yourself.

Road-trippers, gym-goers and weekend travelers who want a tough, no-frills bag. Shoppers who want lots of pockets or wheels should look elsewhere.
