Weekend Bags

Choose the Right Weekend Bag

A weekend bag is a great choice when you need to pack for a few days and don't want to bring a larger suitcase. The best model depends on how much you need to carry and how you plan to travel.

Weekend Bag, Duffel Bag or Sports Bag?

A classic weekend bag can be a practical option for overnight stays and short business trips. Duffel bags and sports bags often feature a larger main compartment, making them suitable for carrying clothing, shoes, and other equipment.

Some models can also be carried both as a bag and as a backpack. Check the product specifications to see which carrying options are available.

What Size Weekend Bag Do You Need?

Bag capacity is often stated in litres. A smaller model may be sufficient for a change of clothes and a few personal items, while a larger bag offers more space for items such as training gear and shoes.

Compare both the capacity and the external dimensions. If you're travelling by air, make sure to check your airline's current carry-on luggage requirements.

Handles, Shoulder Straps and Storage Compartments

If you'll be carrying the bag over longer distances, an adjustable shoulder strap can be a useful feature. Some models also include dedicated compartments that make it easier to organise smaller items.

It's also worth checking how the bag opens and whether there is quick access to the items you need during your journey.

Materials and Care

Weekend bags are available in a variety of materials and designs. The material affects the bag's look and feel, weight, and maintenance requirements.

If you need a bag that can withstand rain, check whether the material is water-repellent or waterproof. These properties vary between different models.
