Travel Essentials: Weekend Duffle Bag

For quick get-aways and weekend trips, the duffel bag is a lightweight and portable option that can be crammed into overhead compartments or thrown into the back seat of your car. Since luggage this size will hopefully never be subject to the brutal treatment of airline baggage handlers, stylish options like these four are a great way to show the plebeians how to travel in style. Our favorite options for sturdy, stylish weekend bags all have great luggage pedigrees.

Travel Essentials: Large Hardside Spinner

Despite the airlines’ inexplicable checked bag fees, sometimes it’s impossible to fit a week’s worth of clothes into a tiny carry-on and we’re forced to go with something a little bigger. If we absolutely must subject our luggage to baggage handlers throwers, conveyor belts, and TSA searches, it should be able to withstand some abuse and stand out from the masses of cheap black nylon rollers. We like polycarbonate shells for being able to take a punch and the four spinner wheels for easier maneuverability. These are four of our favorites for making sure your belongings arrive intact for years to come.
