Verdict Good: A tough, easy-to-carry competition range bag that doesn’t stand out. Two months in, it’s been great so far.
Will has had the YETI Crossroads 60L Duffel in green for about two months, and it’s a new addition to his competition setup. He uses it as his competition range bag, packing spare clothes, guns, battle belts and the other essentials he brings along: bug spray, ear pro, eye pro, a med kit and a chalk bag. That kit includes gear he’s reviewed here, like his Black Scorpion Gear Level II Duty Drop & Offset Holster and Holosun EPS red dot.
The zippers are typical YETI zippers: stiff, but they feel indestructible. The bag is easy to carry even when it’s full, with handles on both ends and both sides, plus a top carry handle and a shoulder strap. So far it has been great and hardly shows any use, though at two months it’s early days for long-term durability. His only complaint is that a little bigger would be great, and he’s quick to add that this isn’t really a problem with the bag itself. Will uses it to carry gear for two competitors, and it works. For one person’s tactical fitness gear, he thinks it would be perfect. He also likes that it doesn’t look tactical, so when he travels to competitions and stays in hotels, he can pack a single gear bag that doesn’t stand out.
The Good ✅
- Tough Zippers: Typical stiff YETI zippers, but Will says they feel indestructible.
- Handles Everywhere: Handles on both ends and both sides, plus a top carry handle and a shoulder strap, make it easy to carry when full.
- Fits a Full Competition Kit: Spare clothes, guns, battle belts, bug spray, ear pro, eye pro, a med kit and a chalk bag, with enough room to support two competitors.
- Doesn’t Stand Out: It doesn’t look tactical, so it makes a gear bag that doesn’t stand out when he’s traveling and staying in hotels.
- Still Looks New: Two months in, it hardly shows any use.
The Not Good ❌
- Could Be a Little Bigger: Will’s only complaint is that a little bigger would be great. That’s really about supporting two competitors from one bag, which it still handles. For one person’s tactical fitness gear, he thinks it would be perfect.
- Stiff Zippers: The zippers are stiff, like most YETI zippers, though Will says they feel indestructible.
- Early Days: Will has had it for about two months, so long-term durability is still to be seen.
Product Description
The YETI Crossroads 60L Duffel is a structured travel duffel built for road trips, long weekends and far-flung adventures. YETI makes it from TuffSkin Nylon, an expedition-grade, 700-denier, water- and abrasion-resistant material inspired by motorcycle gear, and gives it a PU-coated GroundControl base that YETI says is easy to clean. Structured foam walls keep the bag from collapsing in on itself, and reinforced stitching with internal anchoring helps the haul straps hold strong under heavy loads.
Inside, two divider panels split the bag into three sections and fold away into the bottom stash pocket when you want one wide-open space. Internal pockets keep small essentials within reach, exterior stash pockets give quick access, and removable modular compression straps work inside or outside the bag. YETI’s product photos show top haul straps that meet at a carry handle, grab handles on the ends and sides, and a shoulder strap that clips to D-rings at each end. YETI lists dimensions of 26.8″ W x 15.0″ D x 10.2″ H and an empty weight of 4.3 lb (2 kg), and notes that the 60L is a checked bag rather than a carry-on. YETI’s green colorway for the Crossroads 60L is Olive.
