What is a duffle bag used for?

A duffle bag is a versatile piece of travel luggage. It can be used as an overnight bag, carrying all your essentials for a night or two away. With a spacious main compartment, you’ll have plenty of space for clothes, toiletries and more. Some sporty duffle bags can also be used as a gym bag, ideal for toting around your towel, a change of clothes, your headphones and your water bottle. Lastly, a duffle bag can be used as a carry-on bag for your next flight. Many duffle bags are the perfect cabin bag size, designed to be comfortably carried across the body.

Are duffle bags allowed on planes?

A common question is can duffle bags be carry-ons? The answer is yes – as long as it meets your chosen airline’s size restrictions. There are some large duffle bags on the market that might be too big to class as carry-on. However, our Weekender Leather Duffle bags are all within standard carry-on requirements. They are super easy to stow into the overhead compartment or to slot underneath the seat in front of you, due to their malleable design.


Is a duffle bag better than a suitcase?

In some situations, a duffle bag might be better than a suitcase. In other scenarios, a duffle bag might be better. For example, if you are going away for a weekend trip or an overnight trip, a duffle bag might be more practical to tote around with you. Duffle bags are always made from a softer, malleable material than suitcases – making them easier to stuff into the overhead compartment of a plane or under the seat in front of you. They also tend to be relatively lightweight, which makes it easy to carry.

However, if you are wanting a protective hard shell bag to keep your valuables protected, a suitcase will be a better choice. A suitcase also has wheels, making it an easier piece of luggage to transport, especially if you have any kind of mobility issues. Suitcases also allow for greater security, commonly kitted out with TSA locks for keeping your belongings safe and secure.
