Best Travel Duffel Bags Buying Guide
Before choosing the best travel duffel bag you should consider following options:
1. Size: The first thing to look for when choosing a duffel bag is size. When it comes to duffel bags, bigger isn’t always better.
If you’re planning on traveling with a large amount of gear, you’ll want to look for a duffel bag that is 40-50 liters or more.
If you’re traveling with only a few items, you can get away with a smaller duffel bag that is 20-30 liters.
2. Durability: Cheaper duffel bags are made from thinner materials that won’t hold up as well over time. Look for thicker materials, like nylon or canvas, for a bag that will stand up to the wear and tear of travel.
If you plan on carrying heavy items in your duffel bag, you’ll want to make sure it’s made from a stronger material.
3. Interior Organization: Many duffel bags come with one large compartment. While these bags are simple to use, they can get messy when you’re trying to find specific items.
If you’re planning on traveling with multiple items, make sure your duffel bag has multiple smaller compartments so you can keep your items organized.
Some duffel bags include pockets that are designed with travelers in mind. Look for bags with pockets that will hold liquids, like toiletries.
Other duffel bags include special straps and dividers that are designed to keep clothes neatly folded, reducing wrinkles.
4. Additional Features: Some duffel bags include special features, like a waterproof shell, backpack straps, and more. If you’re planning on using your duffel bag for specific reasons, make sure your duffel bag has the features you need.
You’ll want to make sure you’re getting a duffel bag that will meet your needs.
