Travel bags and duffel bags

Practically designed luggage is a good idea for any type of trip. After all, the whole journey becomes easier when you can transport your luggage without any hassle. The type of travel bag or duffel bag that is best suited to your needs depends on several factors: What do you want to take with you, where are you going, and how long will you be traveling? Different solutions may be ideal for air travel, backpacking, outdoor tours, or weekend trips. Transa's wide range includes duffel bags and travel bags for many different purposes.

Types of travel bags

First, you should decide what type of travel bag is best suited for your needs.

  • Smaller backpacks are a good choice for day trips.
  • Shoulder bags don't distribute the load across both shoulders like a backpack, but they do keep everything you need close at hand.
  • Tote bags or shopping bags are ideal for a stroll through town or a day at the beach.
  • Depending on the model, duffel bags offer plenty of storage space and are comfortable to carry. This makes them ideal for many different travel purposes.

Advantages of duffel bags

It's no coincidence that duffel bags, invented in the 18th century, are very popular – for trips to the gym as well as longer journeys. They score particularly highly with these advantages:

  • Storage space: Depending on the model, duffel bags offer plenty of space for clothes and equipment – some models even up to 120 liters. Smaller models are available with a volume of 30 or 40 liters, for example.
  • Flexibility: Most duffel bags offer two carrying options: by hand, as a shoulder bag, or as a backpack. They are also softer and slightly more compact than suitcases, for example.
  • Robustness and light weight: Special duffel bags for expeditions in particular are made of very durable, often waterproof materials. They are also relatively light, often even slightly lighter than a trekking backpack with the same volume.

What should I look for when buying travel bags or duffel bags?

Travel bags or duffel bags offer the most advantages when they are precisely tailored to the requirements and conditions of the planned trip. Thicker clothing for traveling in cold climates requires more space. A larger bag is also useful for tours or excursions where you need to take a lot of equipment with you. However, it should not be too heavy, especially if you are walking long distances with your luggage. In addition, you should consider your requirements in terms of material and durability. Last but not least, it is also important to consider how you want to carry the duffel bag – so pay attention to the respective carrying devices.
