ION Session Duffel Bag

The ION Session Duffel Bag is a 90-liter travel duffel from ION, a brand rooted in watersports gear and accessories. Built around a toploader zipper opening, it serves as an all-purpose bag for hauling session gear, weekend travel essentials, or overflow luggage on kiteboarding and wing foiling trips. ION positions it squarely in their travelgear category alongside board bags and rolling luggage, giving riders a soft-sided option that packs flat when empty and expands to hold a full load of wetsuits, harnesses, and personal items.

The outer shell uses 100% recycled PU-coated nylon 600D sourced through Waste2Wear, a supply chain that converts collected PET plastic waste into usable textile. ION holds climate-neutral certification on this product and participates in the 1% for the Planet initiative, so the sustainability angle is backed by third-party frameworks rather than vague claims.

The Session Duffel suits any watersports rider who needs a large, lightweight bag that isn't a board bag or a rigid suitcase. At 90 liters it swallows a wetsuit, booties, a harness, and a change of clothes without trouble, making it practical for day sessions where you want one grab-and-go bag. It also works as supplementary luggage on longer trips — light enough at 1.56 kg to toss into a car or check alongside a board bag without adding significant weight.

Because the design is straightforward — no wheels, no rigid frame — it appeals to riders who value simplicity and packability over structure. Beginners loading up for their first downwinder and experienced kiters flying to a remote spot will both find the capacity useful. The PU coating adds a layer of water resistance that helps when the bag sits on wet sand or catches spray, though it is not marketed as a dry bag.

Within ION's travelgear range, the Session Duffel sits between smaller day bags and the wheeled Travel Bag Wheelie series. For riders who want a duffel with more rugged construction and additional organization, ION also offers the Suspect Duffel Bag, which uses heavier-duty materials and a different internal layout. The Session Duffel is the lighter, more streamlined option of the two — fewer compartments, lower weight, and a lower price point.

Compared to duffels from other watersports brands, the 90-liter capacity and recycled-nylon construction put it in a similar bracket to offerings like the Dakine EQ Duffle 70L or Mystic Duffel Bag, though the ION sits at the larger end of that group. Riders choosing between these will mostly weigh volume needs, carry comfort, and material preferences. The Session Duffel's cross-shoulder straps and sub-1.6 kg weight keep it competitive for anyone prioritizing portability.
