The Black Friday Decathlon deals are here, and the Simond duffel bag caught my attention. I believe it would make a great addition to many sailors’ trips<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spotted this Black Friday Decathlon waterproof bag deal, and it reminded me of bags that other people bought on our sailing course. As I was hauling my unwieldy bags on board a Dufour Yacht, I wished I\u2019d had a bag like this one with backpack straps.<\/p>\n

The water-resistant fabric on this Simond 500 40-60L duffel bag would\u2019ve been super handy at keeping my clean clothes dry in the Spring drizzle, too. Anyway, I\u2019ve checked, and this bag has a 30% price drop, meaning it\u2019s a genuine Black Friday deal.<\/p>\n

The guys with similar bags were super young, so even if it\u2019s not your style, it might be a good present for your son, grandchild, or family friend.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more to this bag than meets the eye, so I\u2019ve gone into detail below in the deal box. Click the link to learn more about this bargain bag.<\/p>\n

Simond 500 Extend 40-60L Duffel Bag <\/span><\/strong>\u2013 Was $99.99, now $70<\/span><\/strong><\/a>
\nAccording to Decathlon this is \u2018hugely popular\u2019 and the 4.8 star-rating across 1,283 reviews (at the time of writing) vouches for that.
\nTo carry it around, you can use the padded backpack straps, which look pretty supportive. And its durability seems strong, too. Or, you can carry it by hand.
\nDecathlon said, \u2018our products are tested by a panel of users in the real-life conditions for which they were designed. At SIMOND, these tests are organized on the mountains, led by a team of engineers from our design center.\u2019 If it\u2019s good enough for harsh mountainous conditions, it\u2019s ideal for stormy sailing.
\nThe extendable element means you can vary the size depending on whether you\u2019re going for long or short trips.<\/p>\n

Water repellent quality<\/h2>\n

Decathlon has coated this bag with a water-repellent substance, meaning water will sit on the surface without seeping through the fabric. And if you\u2019re worried about this waterproofing holding up, it comes with a 10-year warranty in case anything goes wrong.<\/p>\n

And the quality continues inside, with three zip-up pockets for storing your valuables safely while on a lurching yacht. There\u2019s also a storage bag to organise your stuff inside.<\/p>\n

\"There's\n

Decathlon have even thought about security. You can lock the main zip, so you\u2019re sure no one\u2019s going to rummage through your stuff when you\u2019re not looking. I like this extra security measure, and it also means that if you accidentally leave it on the dock or walk away from it for a moment, your stuff inside is safer.<\/p>\n

\u2018Safari Trekker\u2019 said, \u2018You can pack it fully open, then zip it down to a compact size, and still have space to bring home artisanal gifts. The extra net bag inside keeps loose items together. Easy to add a lock to the overlapping zipper pulls. Well-designed.\u2019<\/p>\n
