What Are Duffle Bags?
The term ‘duffle’ or ‘duffel’ originated in the 17th century when a town named ‘Duffel’ in Belgium used cloth fabrics to make bags. Unlike regular suitcases or luggage bags, a duffle bag is flexible and has ample space to pack clothes, shoes, gym gear, toiletries, and much more.
Why Are Duffle Bags Perfect for Weekend Trips?
These bags are smaller than wheeled suitcases and larger than mini or medium backpacks. This is why most travelers use these bags for a 2-3 day or a weekend trip that requires holding only sufficient and necessary items, unlike week-long or month-long trips. Hence, they are also referred to as weekender duffle bags.
In terms of usability, these bags are quick to pack as they have fewer compartments and are extremely comfortable to carry. More or less, the size of these bags ranges from about 60 cm in length to 30 cm in width and measures 25 cm in height. Owing to this smaller size, these bags are allowed inside the airplane’s cabin, along with the passengers.
Overnight Duffle Bags for Quick Trips
Sometimes, people call it the overnight duffle bag, as it is used for overnight or one-day trips. In this case, the traveler can carry a towel, one set of clothes, skincare essentials, toiletries, house keys, and an emergency first aid kit.
In the present-day scenario, there is variety for everything, and these bags aren’t an exception. From plain solid-colored ones without any design to patterned or printed ones, from neutral-colored (black, white, gray, and brown) to vibrant-colored bags (yellow, pink, blue, etc.), there is a huge variety. Also, lately, customers can customize their weekender bag with initials, names, labels, etc.
Material and Durability of Duffle Bags
As said earlier, these bags are made of canvas fabric or duffel cloth. 2Seasons, the leading personalized duffle brand, uses PU leather to make the handles. Thus, these bags are easily washable and also durable for a long period. They have one or two compartments with a zip closure. Moreover, for business travelers, there are separate laptop holders supported by cushion-like thick layers. As a result, people commonly call this type a duffle laptop bag.
Oversized Duffle Bags for Heavy Packing
Though these are considered a medium-sized bag, manufacturers also produce large ones. These bags are similar to the size of a jumbo backpack or a check-in suitcase that can hold large sets of articles—clothes, jackets, small electronic devices, shoes, bedsheets, cushions, water bottles, etc. These large variants are not counted as weekend travel bags. Instead, they are counted as large or oversized travel duffle bags or travel luggage bags.
