The Best Duffel Bags For First Time Travelers
This piece of luggage can do a little bit of everything, including make your vacation so much easier.
The right duffel bag will be the one you bring with you to the gym, for overnight trips, to carry onto the plane, and more, so picking the right one for your first trip should be done carefully. Here's what to seek in the right duffel buddy.
Start with how big you need, as duffels can carry practically your whole life, yet remember that larger duffels will need to be checked.
Duffels are generally made with nylon or polyester; look for "rip-stop" nylon or abrasion resistance for maximum wear.
If your duffel will also be your gym buddy, make sure it has a built-in shoe bag to haul those stinky sneakers.
Pick a color that suits both your personality and will make your duffel easier to spot in a crowd if you need to check it.
Some duffels offer a "big mouth" that you can totally unzip, making it ideal for packing a lot of clothes in a small space.
