The Best Luggage Brands for Every Budget

Here’s how it works. Instead of opening like a book the way most spinners do, the rolling duffel features a zip-around flap that completely opens the front of the bag. At 22 inches long and 11 inches wide, this spacious main compartment stores plenty of clothing, shoes, and toiletries. Four large, additional zippered side pockets stowe away smaller items like travel documents, tech, snacks, and more.

And shoppers are impressed, to say the least. “I love this bag,” one wrote. “I bought three: one for myself, one for my husband, and one for my daughter. We traveled for three weeks in Spain and New York. …We walked a lot through cobbled streets and all three bags sustained the abuse with no problems. The wheels are durable and well secured. The zippers are strong and never ripped. I had the bag stuffed to the gills and I never had issues with any of it.”

To buy: amazon.com, $66 (originally $100)

The duffel is also a breeze to carry thanks to three different handles and three different ways to hold it. In addition to its padded extendable handle, shoppers can also carry the bag as a true duffel by two front straps, or by a smaller, non-extendable handle at the top. And because the bag is so unbelievably lightweight, it makes for no-hassle travel no matter which way you carry it.
