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.
