Peak Design Wash Pouch vs Filson Rugged Twill Dopp Kit

Peak Design publishes internal and external dimensions, volume and weight, designs for the spill rather than hoping it will not happen, and backs it with a lifetime warranty. Filson is the one to buy if you want a bag that outlasts the luggage, in waxed twill with a tear strength it will actually quote.

Peak Design Wash Pouch

Buy it

Designed around the spill, documented to the centimetre, and covered for life.

• Every dimension published: 26 by 10 by 13 centimetres externally, 24 by 9 by 13 internally, one litre of volume and 176 grams, which no other maker here comes close to.
• Four TPU-coated nylon mesh pockets, an internal zip pocket and a magnetically sealed toothbrush pocket, and all of them turn inside out so the bag can be deep cleaned after a leak.
• Sits upright on a counter or hangs from a stowable aluminium hook, sewn with abrasion-resistant thread, and carries a lifetime warranty.

• One litre is genuinely small, and anyone carrying full-size bottles will find it tight.
• Synthetic throughout, which some people simply prefer not to have in a wash bag.
• The hook needs a rail or a hook to hang from, which not every bathroom provides.

Filson Rugged Twill Dopp Kit

Buy it

Waxed twill with a published tear strength, lined so nothing escapes into your luggage.

• Rugged Twill with abrasion-resistant fabric whose tear strength exceeds 1,400 pounds, which is the only fabric strength figure published by any maker in this comparison.
• Lightly waxed for water resistance, with a nylon-lined interior specifically to stop spills escaping into the rest of your luggage.
• Bridle Leather zipper reinforcements and grab handle, plus full-width exterior stow pockets for the things you want without unzipping the main compartment.

• No dimensions, volume or weight are published, so you cannot tell what it holds.
• Waxed twill and leather make it the heaviest option here by some margin.
• No internal organisation is described beyond the nylon lining.
