Weekender bags are a great way to fit your life into a few days without having to overpack with a full-blown suitcase. These bags are all about getting you through the weekend without having to worry about leaving something at home.
From weekender bags with multiple compartments to those that have laptop sleeves, to those that are made with waterproof materials, we’ve got recommendations for every type of adventure.
Amundsen Okavanga Duffel 35L
Norweigian brand Amundsen tailors their bags with the world traveler in mind. This Okavanga Duffel holds up to 35L and fits perfectly in an overhead bin. Our favorite features are the leather handles.
Simms Dry Creek Duffel
Simms is known for making kick-A fishing gear. This Dry Creek Duffel is waterproof and features a roll-top design. It holds up an impressive 60L and will convert to a backpack if you get tired carrying it in your hands or over your shoulder.

Newhey Oversized Travel Bag
Another oversized leather bag option. It’s waterproof, which adds another layer of comfort because no one wants to open their bag and find all their clothes and essentials soaking wet.

Mollygan Oversized Duffel Bag
This Mollygan bag is especially nice because it has an extra shoe compartment. Maybe you’re bringing a pair of more formal shoes for a dinner or event? This would be the bag to choose if true.

Plambag Canvas Duffel Bag
One large main compartment will fit all you need for a nice weekend away. It’s big enough to handle a 17” laptop along with all your clothes and essentials which means that you don’t have to sacrifice anything while you are out of town. It’s great for those who like multiple compartments.
Mystery Ranch Mission Duffel
We like this Mystery Ranch bag because of how it opens up from the front. It’s spacious, easy to pack in clothes and gear, and converts from a backpack to an over-the-shoulder bag by simply clipping in the strap. The bag is made with a premium waxed blend of nylon, polyester, and cotton that makes it strong and resistant to moisture.

65L is a pretty big size for a weekend bag. But that just means you will have plenty of space to throw in some goodies you bought for your return home.
Toupons Travel Bag
This bag gives you all you need for a comfortable trip out of town. It can fit a 14” laptop along with clothes and shoes and whatever you need to make your weekend better than your week.
