Things to consider when buying a weekender bag
What makes a good weekender bag?
There are a few things to consider when going away for the weekend. No matter where you're going, you'll want something durable that can get all your belongings to your destination intact. If you're camping and there's rain in the forecast, a waterproof bag should be a priority. Broken straps and zippers might only be minor inconveniences in the grand scheme of things, but when you're looking to relax you don't want to worry about details like that.
Comfort should be one of your top priorities. Whether you go for a duffel bag with a strap or a backpack, if you have to go far you want to be comfortable. One of the main things to consider is the size of the bag.
How big should a weekend bag be?
There's no definitive answer to this question, but we offer a range of different sizes. Whether it's a short weekend or a long weekend, you're going to want enough room to pack a few days worth of clothes. If your trip involves cold weather, you'll want the space to pack some layers. In this case, we would consider a range of 30-60 litres to be a good size for a weekend away.
