Is the RTIC Road Trip Duffel waterproof?

No. The nylon shell is water resistant, so it handles splashes and light rain, but it is not a dry bag and seams and zippers can let water in during sustained rain.

Does it have a shoulder strap?

It is listed with a top-carry handle only. If you want to carry it across your body or on your back, plan on adding a strap or choosing a duffel with one built in.

How much can it hold?

With a 9-inch height and 14-inch depth, it is a compact duffel best suited to a gym kit or a night or two of clothing. It is not a week-long travel bag.

Is there a separate shoe compartment?

No. It has a single main compartment, so pack shoes in a separate bag if you want to keep them away from clothes.

How does it compare with a Yeti Panga or Patagonia Black Hole duffel?

Those bags add waterproof construction, backpack straps and more organization. The RTIC keeps it simple with a water-resistant shell and a top handle, which suits buyers who want a basic, rugged duffel.
