Travelers Say This Weekender Is So Spacious, It's the Only Bag You Need to Take With You on 5-day Trips
Quick weekend trips should be the easiest to pack for, but that might not be true if your only luggage option is a bulky suitcase. To streamline the traveling process (and potentially get through security more quickly), consider investing in a duffel bag that is spacious enough to replace your carry-on. Quince, an editor-loved brand for vacation clothes and reliable luggage, offers the Transit Quilted Duffel Bag, which is a favorite among hundreds of travelers. This weekender bag comes in black and navy blue, has multiple interior and exterior pockets to keep your belongings organized, and fits enough clothes to serve as the 'only bag for a five-day trip,' according to one shopper. The weekender bag has a soft exterior that is flexible enough to accommodate clothes, shoes, and toiletries, and the material is waterproof, ensuring everything inside is protected regardless of travel-day conditions. There are shorter padded handles and an adjustable cross-body strap for multiple carrying options. One reviewer said the 'straps are exactly the right length' to put over their shoulder, and another person noted that they 'love the versatility' the two styles offer. This bag also has 'tons of pockets,' which make it 'easy to organize' belongings while traveling, per another customer. There are four exterior pockets, with one on each side for holding a water bottle, phone, or any other items that require easy access. Inside, there are even more compartments, including a separate laptop sleeve and a detachable pouch for smaller items like AirPods, keys, and lip balm. Another person, who called the bag a 'stunning way to travel in style,' reported that there is a 'place for everything.' Since all of your items are in such close proximity, the included dust bag helps keep shoes and dirty clothes separate during your trip. It also comes in handy when using the duffle bag outside of travel, including to the gym or work. While the bag has enough space for shorter trips, it also has a trolley sleeve so that it can slide over the handle of a carry-on suitcase when used as a personal item. At $120, shoppers say the price is 'unbeatable' compared to options of similar quality. Snag this bag ahead of your next trip, and keep scrolling to shop more luggage from Quince. Love a great deal?

Battle of the bags: Comparing MEC and The North Face travel duffels
Over the last year or so, I've been travelling more frequently. Whether it's a business trip, vacation with my husband or a quick weekend getaway with friends, I've found myself reaching for my luggage again and again. Article content One travel essential that has stood the test of time is my North Face Base Camp Duffel – a versatile duffel-backpack hybrid that's been with me on trips to multiple continents since 2011 or so. When I learned that Canadian outdoor brand MEC recently released the Outpost Duffle as a rival to The North Face's version, I knew I had to see how it fared against the original. Article content Article content I was able to fit a full week of summer clothes into the medium-sized MEC bag, plus a few extras like a beach towel, rain jacket and waterproof sandals. My husband did the same with the North Face bag, and since his clothes are larger than mine, the extra bag capacity came in handy. Article content Duffel bag quick facts Article content Article content Article content Article content Packable: My favourite feature of the Outpost Duffel is that it's foldable for easy storage and packing. It tucks into itself, becoming the size of a small packing cube once you turn the bag inside-out and fold it into its top pocket. This is great for taking up less space in your cupboards at home. You can even throw it into your suitcase on longer trips when you want more luggage to bring back all of your souvenirs.
