THE BEST LIGHTWEIGHT DUFFEL BAGS

Traveling smart is essential and the luggage you carry is one of the primary things you should focus on.  This is why I always make sure I have an additional lightweight duffel bag on top of my roll on suitcase. Used on its own for smaller trips, it will save you time from multiple check-ins, and also money with all the extra luggage charges you can encounter. You may ask yourself why not just take a small carry-on suitcase, which you can indeed do. But as I live more than 8 months of the year away from home I don’t want to carry around 2 suitcases. And prefer having an extra lightweight duffel bag for its versatility which can resolve your luggage crisis. Used as a weekend bag or for extra luggage space it will always come in handy. It took me a lot of browsing to find decent looking duffel bags that would fit the bill and thought I could save you time with my selection. So here are 11 Lightweight smart looking duffel bags that will let you get on and off that plane with ease.

Did you know: The origins of duffel or duffle came in the mid 17th century: from Duffel, the name of a town in Belgium where the cloth was originally made. (source)
