20 Lightweight Duffel Bags Any Overpacker Will Appreciate

There is no bag better than a duffel bag, and that's just the way it is. Suitcases are good for traveling to places where there is room for them. Backpacks are great, but they don't hold that much stuff. Briefcases, messenger bags, and laptop bags are good for work and that's about it. But duffel bags can be good for everything if you find the right ones. And, don't you worry, we already found 'em for you.

Duffel bags are roomy but not oversized. They are functional for carrying but also stay organized on the inside. They can fit shoes and clothes and books and laptops. Life is just a hell of a lot easier when you have one on hand that is good for stuffing silly for the weekend or a day trip to the beach. Of course, there's nuance in the duffel bag. Some are better for travel and others are better for the gym. Some are good for the hyper-organized and some are better if you just like throwing a bunch of stuff in a bag and calling it a day.

Whatever your bag style—and bag packing style, too—there is a duffel out there for you, waiting to serve your every packing need at a moment's notice. We're talking duffels on wheels, duffels-turned-backpacks, and waterproof duffels that stand the test of an ever-changing climate. Here are the 20 best duffel bags for men to carry anywhere.
