We’re all in agreement that a quality duffel bag can be a great travel companion, right? Well, Timbuk2 is also in agreement—and we know that because they’ve set out to compete with the best of the best by creating their Impulse Travel Backpack Duffel.

This 45-liter duffel-style backpack comes from the same brand that brought us gear like the Wander Pack (the previous iteration of this bag) and the La Banane Fanny Pack. Started by a bike messenger in San Francisco, Timbuk2 rolled out its first messenger bag 30 years ago and now boasts a variety of totes, travel packs, camera bags and more.

Unfortunately, we can’t help but feel that the Impulse Travel Backpack Duffel is another release from Timbuk2 that only goes halfway. There are some positive attributes to this pack—like the top pocket and easy-to-clean exterior material—but it could be so much better. We’ve had problems with the zippers, straps, and harness system. And at the end of the day, this pack is essentially a duffel bag with backpack straps and a side handle—and we’re disappointed to say that it doesn’t function terribly well in either use case. Timbuk2 is a veteran company in the carry industry, and it feels like this release misses the critical design thinking and quality we expect from a brand of this stature.
