When you're set to go on a trip, of course you need to have a nice traveling bag first before you start packing your things. There are a lot of bags available in the market that are perfect for traveling. Among the most popular are duffel bags. These type of bags are mostly made of thick fabric materials and are usually cylindrical and have a top closure.

Duffel bags are great for traveling and they are available in different sizes and shapes. These kind of bags are quite interesting because of the added accessories like the adjustable shoulder straps, wheels and trolleys that makes them really convenient to use. Most duffel bags do have several compartments to accommodate more traveling things.

Duffel traveling bags do have zipper pockets on the side that can secure your tickets, keys, books and other items that would often need. They are more convenient to use because of the durable end handles and retractable handles, thus, it is easier to pick up. You will be surprised to see that duffel bags are quite bigger than how they look.They can accommodate more things than what you have in mind. Large zippers are located beneath, which makes it easier for you to pick up the things that are packed at the top.

My Duffle Bags

I have a couple of duffle bags that I use. I have a medium size one that is bright green that I use for overnight and weekend trips. The bright green makes it easy to spot, not that I am checking my luggage very often for weekend trips.

For longer trips, I have a pair of large duffel bags that I use. I usually start out with one fully packed and roll the second one up in the first. Once I am at my destination I use the second duffel bag to put all my dirty laundry in. This bag is also where I pack breakable gifts and what not because the dirty clothes work well as extra cushioning and padding. One of these bags is bright yellow (same reason, easy to see and one of a kind) and the other is dark blue. I am not sure why I ended up with a dark blue one. It must have been on sale or something :-)

Rolling Duffel Bags

The hardest thing about traveling is carrying your belongings. Using a normal bag could be very hard carry as long as you want all your personal stuff with you. The best choice is a rolling duffle bag where you can put all the things that you need because it doesn’t matter if you can’t lift it. All you need to do is to hang on to the handle and let the wheels do their job.


Another advantage is that you can save a lot of space with these bags. They can be up to 35 inches tall. That will definitely help you with the carrying of all you need for the trip. With the new airport restrictions, that make you have only one baggage, the rolling duffle bag can be a life savior. The days when you had to carry two large bags and another handbag are long gone.


When looking for one to buy you have to decide on how much are you ready to invest. The price of a rolling duffle bag is relatively cheap but it depends on the brand and the manufacturing material. Next I will give some reviews to some of these products.


The Tumi T-Tech Extra Large 35” Wheeled Duffle is a strong bag that is also very spacious considering that it is 35 inches tall. It has easy access on the top and many other pockets. It comes with long lasting warranty that also assures you having a high quality product. This is a stylish product that will never let you down.


Filson 34.5 inches Wheeled Duffle Bag is made of quality canvas with leather. Filson is a well-known brand that is making travel bags since 1897. If you want the quality to be guaranteed you should aim for the best respected brands.


The High Sierra AT3 Sierra-Lite 32 inches Drop-Bottom Wheeled Duffle is a very popular bag. 100% of the owners said that they would have bought it again. It comes in a cool variety of colors and has separate compartments. This is an impressive bag that you will feel glad for buying.


Victorinox 31 inches Rolling Duffle aims for comfort when carrying it. It has a 360 degrees handle swivels so you won’t have any problems holding it. It has easy access from the top.


The Kipling 30 inches Canyon Wheeled Duffle Bag is a high quality luggage that has longevity. That is because the wheels are integrated in the bag so they are not exposed to breaking up.


Having problems with the rain when carrying your duffle bag? The best solution is the Ricardo Beverly Hills Essential 30 inches Rolling Duffle. It also has a great design that stands up from the crowd.


Now all you need to do is search the internet for your favorite rolling duffle bag. Some very good websites are Amazon and E-bay where you can find great deals on products and they are not hard to use. You can choose a new one or a second hand one at a great price.
