Where to this weekend? Whether it’s a camping trip just a couple counties over or a flight out to somewhere unfamiliar, having a trusty duffel bag is perfect for when you want to pack just the essentials for a short Friday-to-Monday getaway. These weekender bags have enough space for a few outfits, one or two pairs of shoes, and necessary toiletries, which is especially great if you want to leave your bulky suitcase behind.
Amazon is often a go-to for finding these types of bags at reasonable prices, but there’s an almost infinite number of worthy weekenders to choose from — and they’re mostly all the same. The thing that makes this Wonhox bag different — and more appealing, we daresay — is that it’s on sale for only $10, half its regular price.
Wonhox Travel Duffel Bag
The duffel bag is an Amazon favorite with more than 2,500 five-star ratings. It measures 16 by 10 by 8.5 inches — within most airlines’ personal item limitations — but it packs a surprising amount for its small size. One reviewer said they fit five outfits, swimwear, two pairs of shoes, a laptop, and toiletries into theirs and were still able to slide it under the seat of a JetBlue plane. Another said they packed 12 days’ worth of clothing in it and still had room for the toiletry bag that (surprise!) comes included. “It is never full, no matter how much I stuff it,” somebody wrote. It even expands by unzipping the bottom if you’re traveling via car or train and want to stuff even more items inside.
The weekender has an exterior pocket on the front and a hidden zipper pouch on the trolley sleeve. Inside the main compartment, there’s a wet pouch and two small, phone-sized pockets. The bag fastens down on both sides, which makes it look a little smaller to gate agents. Some will call it cheating, but we say traveling for up to 12 days with no luggage fees is well worth the risk.
Wonhox Travel Duffel Bag
Amid the rave reviews, one traveler offered the ultimate hack for heavy packers: Fold the bag up and pack it into your suitcase so you have an extra bag in case your luggage weighs in over the limit. “Had it in my suitcase just in case, [and my] suitcase ended up being three pounds over,” they said, calling this duffel a lifesaver. Without it, they would’ve had to pay $200 extra.
Wonhox makes this two-piece carry-on and toiletry bag set in 11 colors, including monochromatic green, pink, and black, black with brown straps, and gray with pink straps. Prices and sale amounts vary by color, with the best deal being 50 percent off. Every bag comes with a detachable, adjustable long strap, so you get three ways of carrying — by the handles, over the shoulder, or securely stacked on your suitcase.
While this Wonhox bag might just be the best value weekend bag on the internet, there are plenty more where it comes from. Find some other great Amazon sales on duffel bags, below.
