Stubble & Co has been making some interesting bags defined by function and form. The Weekender is the company’s premium travel bag designed to accommodate overnight getaways and weekend-long business trips. Its dimensions make it a carry-on that will fit in the overhead compartment of a plane and its design will appeal to travelers that might want something a little more elegant.

This “Designed in London” duffel will immediately appeal to those traveling with a trolley bag. It has both a laptop sleeve and a trolley sleeve for a complete, carry-on-only setup.

After using this bag for camping, sailing and a weekend trip to the lake, our review measures the success of this travel bags’ intention against our expectations and actual experience.

The mid-volume size Herschel Novel proves that a duffle bag can be fashionable and functional at the same time.

It has a spacious main pocket and a separate shoe compartment, and it is available in several styles.

Duffel bags are so utilitarian that not many of them look good. Most of them look rugged, which is not really something that catches the eye.

Herschel has signature aesthetics that get added to solid, quality designs. The gym bag segment that converges with the weekender duffle bag is one that the Novel does simply and successfully.

Combined with foldable construction, it makes for a perfect extra bag to throw in your suitcase when traveling.

Although it’s on the thinner side and can potentially last a shorter period of time, Paravel Foldable Travel Bag is still relatively.

You won’t find a shoulder strap attached to it, but you will most likely not even need it — it will never get heavy enough to need to carry it over the shoulder. And even if you do get tired of carrying it for the entire day, the cotton webbing handles are strong enough to withstand heavy (but not too heavy) loads.

It’s a cute 30-liter overnight bag with lots of colors to choose from with five different pockets. The integrated wet pocket promises to keep you stress-free when carrying damp/wet clothing.

This weekender travel bag has lots of space. You can easily pack a few sets of clothes for a multi-day trip, and even if you’re packing thick ones, a couple of days’ worth will fit in just fine.

The dual handle offers a comfy grip, and it has a detachable shoulder strap. However, it can be a pain to use when overloading the bag. Its zippers and swivel clips have questionable quality. Durability-wise, it won’t be the longest lasting. But the Floless Hycoo Weekender Bag is a nylon-made option with some water resistance.

After testing, the Floless Hycoo Weekender Bag offers good overall value for an affordable model. There are trade-offs, of course. But if you want a low-cost option for your trips to the gym or an occasional getaway, it’ll get the job done.

If you’re looking for a quality overnight bag that you can get for a good price, the 19” Rockland weekender bag might be what you need.

Many high-quality weekender bags come with an expensive price tag. However, not everyone needs all the additional features that raise the cost.

Let’s dive in to learn more about this weekender bag and whether or not it offers value for money!

Chances are you already have an item from Puma in your wardrobe. This means that we don’t have to tell you about the quality of this weekender either — the brand speaks for itself. Described as “fun, functional, and feminine”, it’s your go-to travel bag for quick day trips, yoga sessions, and even a beach trip.

Built from high-quality Polyester, it’s got everything you need from a small weekend bag. Big zippered opening? Check. Spacious main compartment? Check. Interior and exterior pockets? Check. It also has built-in reinforced base panels for better longevity.

The downside is that this weekender bag lacks a laptop compartment that would’ve made it suitable for business trips. It also misses a shoulder strap that the other weekend bags have. But given that you won’t be able to stuff it with multiple items, Puma Evercat Weekender Bag shouldn’t get too heavy to carry over the shoulder.

The Brasilia 9.0 is a 41-liter Nike duffel bag that hits the sweet spot in size and functionality. Its pockets and dedicated shoe compartment make it a good gym bag and a great weekender duffel.

Whether hitting the weights, training in the field, or on the road, it’s a convenient option.

It won’t appeal to everyone and is not the best of the bunch. But it’s one of those gym bags that delivers excellent value within its price point.

BLUBOON Weekender Overnight Bag hits the sweet spot between a large duffel bag and a gym tote. It’s spacious enough to store not just essentials but also some extra things like a DSLR camera, a 15.6-inch laptop, and a complimentary outfit.

We appreciated having a separate compartment for your shoes that divides your clean clothes from dirty shoes if you take more than the pair you’re wearing. It also works for keeping your wet towel away from the dry stuff if you’re on a beach getaway. Not too shabby for a weekender that isn’t as bulky as a duffel but fits nearly as much.

Aside from the sturdy construction, it also comes in different colors and prints. That said, you’ll have to compromise on not having the laptop compartment (and probably won’t want to bring your laptop with you unless it’s stored in its own sleeve) and the lack of waterproofing of the exterior.

If you’re looking for a weekender that can serve you for a little longer than two days, this bag by Bellroy is a great option. It does come with a higher price tag, but the bag’s quality and functionality justify it.

As you would expect from a premium-class travel bag, every feature is well-thought-out. From the water-resistant material to the optimal 30-liter capacity and a 13-inches laptop sleeve, it’s not short on attributes that differentiate it from the cheaply made weekenders.

Keep in mind that the bag’s fabric can feel a little stiff, but this doesn’t take away from the overall functionality of the bag. The same applies to the heavier-than-average weight that can be attributed to the high-quality materials the bag is made from.

If you’re looking for a weekend bag with a wide mouth opening, this one by Perry Ellis might be right up your alley. You can bring it with you on a weekend getaway, and rest assured that all your belongings will fit.

Need to store your shoes in the bag? There’s a ventilated shoe compartment incorporated into the bag. You also get a shoulder strap for carrying the bag over your shoulder if you pack it to the brim.

Beware of the images of the bag shown on Amazon — the weekender doesn’t come with the zigzag elastic rope. Its fabric is also not particularly rugged when compared to other weekenders.

“What you get is what you see” is the best description of the S-Zone Overnight Bag. It’s as sturdy as ever, comes with plenty of compartments and pockets for your convenience, and, most importantly, won’t get destroyed in bad weather. This means car camping and roadtripping are in the picture.

Although it lacks a laptop compartment, the weekender’s height is optimal to fit a 15-inch laptop. If you pack it well, it can accommodate you throughout your nearly week-long trip to the countryside. Or, if you’re traveling by plane, make use of the trolley sleeve incorporated into the bag to carry it together with your suitcase.

Due to the rugged construction, this overnight bag tends to be bulky. Its zippers can get snagged too, particularly if you pack the bag to the brim. Be mindful of organizing your items inside the bag and use both shoe compartments efficiently to get the most from it.

Stylish and functional, the Kenneth Cole Reaction Port Stanley Travel Bag is what you would imagine a classy duffel to be. Doubling as a carry-on, it’s easy to pack with your essentials and carry around all day long.

The top-zip design gives you quick access to the items inside the bag. Equipped with zippered and slip pockets that can store your valuables, the travel bag is spacious enough to fit an outfit or two and, perhaps, even an iPad or a 13-inch laptop.

There are a few compromises you’ll have to make including the less-than-average quality of the shoulder strap and the absence of a laptop pocket. This weekender is also not for you if you need it to have shoe and wet storage compartments.

You won’t find a weekender bag with more pockets and compartments than this Carhartt Legacy Utility Bag. No matter how many items you’re bringing with you, you’ll have more than enough storage for them all.

Although the fabric is somewhat thin, the quality of the travel bag is top-notch. It has a water-repellent exterior and a large main compartment with plenty of pockets. This means that the bag can be too bulky for shorter trips but big enough for outdoor adventures.

We liked the weekender’s design which makes it versatile. Style it with a sporty outfit or casual — both will work. The Carhartt logo patch stitched onto the front pocket adds extra oomph.
