It doesn’t matter what kind of travel lifestyle you lead; whether you carry a little or a lot, whether you travel every day or every now and then, you need a duffle bag and this nifty guide will help you pick the right one for you:

  1. The Budget Traveller

Because duffle bags are made from tough yet soft fabrics, you can squish them and their contents into storage racks on trains and buses or use them for a pillow while waiting for your delayed transport to arrive.

Every Traveller should have a duffel bag.

Every Traveller should have a duffel bag.

  1. The Shopper

Be kind to the environment and take your duffle to the supermarket.  A little like Mary Poppins’s bag, a duffle holds far more stuff than it seems possible. For a big shop or heavy items, make life easy and get a duffle bag with wheels.

  1. The Parent

Every parent knows that kids, especially really small ones, need a massive amount of stuff: a change of clothes, a blanket, nappies, food, drinks, toys to keep them amused and possibly yet another change of clothes, just in case of a change in weather or an ‘accident’.

You can cram all that and then some into a duffle. Plus, it makes a fashionable alternative to a Changing Bag.

  1. The Exercise Enthusiast

A duffle bag makes light work of towels and sports equipment and is flexible enough to fit snugly in the smallest of lockers. Herschel’s Ravine range is strong enough to cope with heavy kit and comes in a variety of colours to complement your sports gear.

  1. The Student

Much like little kids, grown-up ones at school or university also need to carry a scary amount of stuff on a daily basis. All of it, the gym kit, the library books or laptop and the packed lunch fit easily into a duffle, and one with a long shoulder strap will make lugging it all around, easy.

  1. Business People

Break the mould and ditch the briefcase. Duffle bags are now widely available for business people and come complete with purpose built dividers and pockets for documents and gadgets.

  1. The Frequent Flyer

When you fly frequently, one of the most important things is being able to get on and off your plane and through the airport quickly.

A duffle bag is flexible enough to carry everything you need and then fit snugly in an overhead locker. Briggs and Riley have a range of duffle bags that are such high quality, they come with a lifetime guarantee.

  1. The One Who’s ‘Not Quite Ready To Commit’

There’s a fine line between staying over regularly at a beau’s house and moving in. A duffle bag takes care of all those awkward conversations by carrying everything you need just for those overnight or weekend visits.

  1. The Fashionista

That’s right, the duffle bag is not just functional, it’s stylish too. Check out the celebs who take them everywhere. The good news is that you don’t need a celebrity’s bank balance to afford a luxury designer one, there’s a duffle out there to suit any budget.

  1. Everyone Else!

Basically, if you’re a person and you carry stuff, then your life will be better with a duffle in it.
