Travel Duffel Bag

While I love the design of the bag, it is too heavy for me to carry throughout the airport and to use as my carry on bag. I do use it for weekend trips if I don’t have to carry it for long. I wished I had bought a bag with wheels so it was easier to use. The bag itself is very well designed and it’s lovely to look at.

Great bag that is more flimsy than previous model. Perfect for airplane travel, I wouldn’t get this bag to use as a gym bag, as it’s overkill. I was on the fence with going with this bag vs an older version. The older was more stiff, rugged and could stand up on its own. This bag you want to be flimsy and stretchy if you are using it for it’s intended purpose, which is under a seat on a plane. It’s a little snug under a seat, but I just took it to France with zero issues. It matches perfectly my 21’ spinner carry on. The zippers are high quality and plenty of pockets for storage. My one complaint if any would be to have the strap updated to the new baseline look (strap matches older logo/model) and bring back the magnet in the back to connect to itself!!! Let me be clear, the bag slides over the handle fine and fits well. But When you slide the duffle over a carry on handle, the older model had a magnet so your bag wouldn’t slide. This, the strap gap is too wide and the bag can slide side to side, especially when you lift the bag over a large curb or onto an escalator. Fix that and it’s 5 stars all around

The duffel is great. It exactly fit the space under the seat in front of me during takeoff. I pulled it back during the flight some I had more leg room. When paired with the B&R carry-on, I thought it would fit better. The loop that slides over the handle is hard to slip over because it’s too tight, and then the bag slowly rotates around the side of the handle because the loop is too loose. I would have liked the bag to be a bit more structured and have the attachment system from the newer rolling cabin bags, both of which would help it sit on my carryon better.

Perfect small duffle for that overnight train trip. Good pocket options. Soft material allows for under seat storage. Quality of materials and assembly surpasses most options I’ve tried.

Perhaps under seat storage areas have gotten smaller in recent years, but after about 14 trips sitting in areas called “comfort+”, “premium select,” etc., I have found that it does not fully fit under the seat. In some cases it is too tall to fit in at all and in other cases it sticks into the area between the seats by about 6 inches. On the plus side, my 13” laptop fits perfectly in the side compartment. A small zippered pocket nicely holds a passport or wallet. Large side pockets are perfect for small electronics and cables. The overall quality is excellent.
