Are you looking for new luggage for the coming vacation but not sure which kind to go for? Unfortunately, with so many varieties available, choosing the right luggage for travel isn’t always as easy as it sounds. But when it comes to weekend getaways or other short trips, duffle weekender bags are an ideal pick for your luggage.
A good duffel offers lots of efficient space to hold stuff and is comfortable to carry if you want to tote bulky items. In addition, if you want to do a little shopping on your vacation, duffel bags are ideal as a backup carry-on because they can fold down for storage or travel flat in your checked bag without adding tons of weight.
There are countless duffel bags out there to choose from, but to help you save an excruciating amount of time, we’ve pulled together a list of the finest, most thoughtfully designed duffel bags around. Here are our four favorite picks.
