Gear Review: Yeti Crossroads Luggage Bag

WHAT IS IT?

YETI Crossroads Bags

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Addressing the needs of traveling anglers, as well as the transportation tasks of everyday life, YETI has expanded its Crossroads Collection with seven new models; each designed for durability, protection, accessibility and organization. The lineup’s three new backpacks, two duffels and two soft-sided luggage options, all feature YETI’s durable, lightweight Tuffskin Nylon — an abrasion-resistant and water-repellent fabric common to protective safety equipment like motorcycle apparel and airbags.

HOW DO I USE IT?

New models include the YETI Crossroads 22L Backpack, 27L Backpack, 35L Backpack, 40L Duffel, 60L Duffel, 22-inch Luggage and 29-inch Luggage. This diverse lineup will serve a range of light to heavy tasks from carrying a day’s worth of tackle for casual bank fishing, to transporting a more substantial load on weekend trips. And when distant angling destinations call, pack several tackle trays along with the requisite apparel and go make some memories. To optimize organization, YETI also offers small, medium and large Crossroads Packing Cubes (all available in gray) 

HOW MUCH?

$199.99-$449.99 (bags)

$24.99-$34.99 (packing cubes)

ANGLER’S INSIGHT: 

YETI designers put a lot of thought into the Crossroads Collection, with multiple access points, stash pockets and optional dividers for interior organization and accessibility. Complementing this expansion, YETI will release its first hard-sided luggage — the Panga 22 Carry On — later this spring. Similar to the YETI Tundra Hard Coolers, this new item will be made of performance-driven polymer materials that are puncture- and abrasion- resistant. The Panga 22 Carry On will offer 30 liters of interior volume and include removable organizers.
