Backpacks And Duffels

Backpacks and duffels come in hundreds of different styles and designs, and should be selected based upon a person's travel habits and packing style.

Backpacks tend to be the all-purpose bag of choice for lugging books, carry-on items, baby essentials and personal accessories. There are adventure and travel backpacks with aluminum frames and lumbar support, laptop packs and wheeled versions, depending on the space needed and the preferred method of transport. Wheeled backpacks are especially helpful for people touring overseas. The wheels and extendable handle allow for easy airline travel, while the backpack straps are convenient for navigating. Laptop designs come in leather and nylon styles, with compartments to hold pens, memory sticks and other business essentials. Backpacks with laptop support are ideal for business travelers on public transportation and walks to the office.

Duffel bags are another popular travel item frequently used as airline carry-ons, athletic bags, or long trips abroad. Today’s duffel can offer the maximum amount of space for travelers. High Sierra and Eagle Creek both offer 36-inch wheeled duffels. The Transcend Cabin Bag, by Briggs and Riley, comes with exterior mesh pockets and a secure key pocket for carry-on travelers. Skyway has a "drop-bottom" duffel, which unzips around a protected, hard shell, bottom that allows for packing folded clothing items to prevent them from wrinkling.
