Klattermusen Ydalir 40L Duffelbag

The Klättermusen Ydalir 40L Duffel Bag in Dove Grey is a waterproof haul bag built for the gap between city and crag, holding a genuine 40 litres in a shell rated to keep out serious rain. As a long-running Swedish outdoor brand, Klättermusen builds gear for people who actually use it in the mountains, and this duffel reflects that: at just 820g it's light enough to sling over a shoulder for a weekend trip, yet the reinforced panels and water-repellent fabric are made to survive real climbing rack, wet ropes and being thrown in the back of a van.

Key Features

• Fully waterproof build: A water column rating of over 30,000mm means the Dove Grey Ydalir shrugs off downpours, river crossings and gear left out overnight.
• Water-repellent outer: The fabric surface repels light rain and moisture on contact, keeping the inside dry before the elements even get close.
• Reinforced panels: Key wear points are strengthened against dragging, scraping and repeated loading, so the bag holds up to years of hauling gear.
• Large zipped opening: A wide mouth zip gives full access to the main compartment, making it easy to pack and unpack quickly at the crag or the car.
• Multiple carry options: Two side carry handles, two haul handles on the gable end and an adjustable padded shoulder strap let you grab, drag or sling the bag depending on the terrain.
• Hook and webbing attachments: Lash the duffel to a harness, roof rack or another bag when hands free carrying matters most.
• Lightweight at 820g: A low pack weight that doesn't eat into your overall load allowance for a trip.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Multi-day climbing and alpine trips, where gear needs to survive being loaded in and out of a car boot or van repeatedly.
• Wet weather approaches, where rain or river crossings would soak a standard holdall.
• Commuting between the city and the crag, doubling as a kit bag for a midweek session and a weekend away.
• Travel by van, train or plane, where a durable, protective duffel takes the place of a rigid suitcase.
• Storing and hauling wet or muddy gear after a session, without it soaking through onto other kit.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• From what we've seen in-store: the 40 litre capacity is generous enough for a weekend's climbing kit, a few days of travel clothing, or a full changing kit and boots for a session.
• The shoulder strap is adjustable and padded, so the bag sits comfortably across the body whether you're carrying it short distances or over a longer approach.
• The side and gable haul handles mean it can also be gripped and dragged rather than worn, useful when space is tight or you're loading a car boot.
• Being a soft-sided duffel rather than a rigid case, it packs down and squeezes into boots, vans or overhead lockers more easily than a hard-shell bag.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Wipe the outer down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove mud, chalk or salt after use.
• Avoid machine washing, as this can affect the waterproof coating and water column rating over time.
• Leave the bag open to air dry fully before storing, to prevent damp building up inside.
• Reproof the fabric occasionally with a suitable technical waterproofing spray if you notice water starting to soak in rather than bead off.
• Store somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can weaken technical fabrics over time.
