10 Reviews: Best Travel Duffel Bags Carry On (Apr 2024)

Made of waterproof fabric, this bag will keep all of your belongings inside dry. It’s ideal for carrying on the go because it has solid straps that can withstand weights of up to 45 pounds. It has an internal compartment as well as an external pocket for storing small items that need to be accessed quickly.

This bag is AMAZING! I was able to fit tons of clothes and a pair of shoes in this personal item bag. It’s extremely roomy. It folds up into a pouch so storage isn’t a problem. I bought a second one for my daughter. It was perfect for our basic economy seats on United and American to and from TX. This bag is awesome. Can’t wait to fly Spirit Airlines now that I have luggage that will fit under their seats and I won’t be charged.

I always used free giveaway duffels for my weekend trips that I got from various trade shows/companies and this Peak Design Travel Duffel is the first duffel I have purchased to replace just generic duffel bags. This duffel is so well made, has excellent features and lots of thought went into providing a cool product. Highly recommend!

I love this bag! Used to for a 3day trip to Boston and I was able to fit way more than I had expected. Hair dryer, heels, sweaters and a lot of other big items were able to fit inside. Easy to carry and a nice simple design!

This duffel looks stunning wherever you take it thanks to its premium quality dark canvas and brown faux leather accents. For its lightweight, this duffel is ideal not only for travel but also for any activity that requires you to carry your belongings. Since it also has a large shoe compartment, you can bring your shoes on this duffel without worrying about them getting tangled up inside.

Loved this bag so much. It is a perfect bag travelling for weekend and it can sit on top of carry-on luggage perfectly. It is a very sturdy, durable bag, very roomy inside. What I love the most about this bag is the extra layer on the bottom. I can put shoes or dirty clothes there. I looked at other places but I rarely see a bag like this one. So excited with this bag and thinking about buying again for holiday gifts!!!

You can’t go wrong with this bag’s elegant vibe as well as full-grain calfskin leather construction. Furthermore, it has deep color tones and will look better with age; this bag is worth considering if you want both functionality and style in a duffel. It has a brass zipper and hardware to complete the look and safety, so you can carry this bag wherever you go with confidence.

LOVE this bag!! I cannot say enough good things about this gorgeous bag. I bought it in 2011 as a gift for my husband. We have taken it on countless trips. It is stunning and worth every penny. It is holding up fabulously. It will hold a lot, approximately enough clothes for 5 days. He usually takes it as his carry on but if its just a long weekend, he uses it as his bag. Sometimes he even lets me borrow it. It looks expensive and I can wholeheartedly say its one of the GREATEST purchases I ever made on amazon.

As the title implies, this duffel bag is specifically designed for women who need to carry everything with them wherever they go. This bag is made of a lightweight fabric and is machine washable, making it simple to clean and reuse. This bag has a strap drop and an additional adjustable strap for easy grabbing. It also has three elastic mesh pockets for organizing your cosmetics, hair products, jewelry, and other toiletries.

This bag can fit almost anything! I used it to travel and placed an average sized pillow, 2 throw blankets, and a fitted sheet, no problem. I also bought another one a placed my clothes for a weekend at the river and another pillow. I was amazed at what this bag can do. Great quality as well. has nice sized pockets on the front and sides as well as a zipped pocket in front too. also a small compartment on the inside as well.

This is a duffle bag made of extra-durable, water-resistant Bi-Tech fabric, you can imagine how useful this bag is for storing all your belongings inside. As you can see, it includes a wheeled duffle with a protective wheel housing and a long-lasting kick plate for easy mobility and maximum durability. Furthermore, it includes an additional storage pouch that also serves as an internal packing pocket for shoes and other gear that you want to keep separate.

Easy to pack, and easy to handle. The rollers are perfect and the storage bag is easily used.

Last but not least, a sturdy duffel with a large main compartment to keep all of your belongings close at hand wherever you go. The compartment itself has lockable U-zip access to fully secure your belongings inside. Furthermore, it comes with a shoulder strap for messenger-style carrying.

Bought this to bring with us to Europe as a way to carry clothes on the way back and use suitcases for souvenirs. It packed relatively flat in my suitcase and held about 30 lbs of clothes/shoes on the way back. We checked it on the way home and it survived TSA and two different transfers. Great bag!
