Buying Guide

Duffel bags are just about everywhere today. You’ll see them firmly clutched by both short and long-term travelers at the airport, in hotel lobbies, and around train stations. So what are the key factors to consider when shopping for a good duffel bag with a laptop compartment?

What's the history of a duffel bag?

Duffel bags have a long history dating back to the 17th century in a Belgian town known as, you guessed it, Duffel. The first duffel bag fabric was designed in the small town of Duffel. During the Second World War, soldiers were issued with the bags to transport gear which led to a rapid spread of Duffel bags across the world. The bag has undergone a lot of changes over the years but it has retained its unique design all along.

Duffel bags have even evolved to match the demands of today’s technology-driven world. They now come with safe compartments to hold your laptop, tablet, and other mobile devices. A good duffel bag with laptop compartment ensures that you are in touch with your workplace while traveling. It also keeps your laptop safe from any form of damage.

What to consider when shopping for a duffel bag?

Size. Size is an important factor to look for in a good duffel bag especially if you want it to safely accommodate your laptop. Make sure its dimensions are ample enough to fit everything you intend to carry in your short trips. The laptop compartment should be roomy enough to safely hold the laptop.
Cushioning and inner lining. If you are buying the bag to carry your laptop wherever you hit out of town, check its inner lining and cushioning materials. A well-cushioned laptop compartment will protect your precious gadget in an accidental drop or impact with another hard object. Better be safe than sorry.
Style and colors. Most duffel bags come in a variety of colors including black, navy, tan, or gray. These are colors that blend well with different types of environments. You can either choose to go with a bold style to express your personality or find one with low-key regular style.
Carrying options. All duffel bags, with or without laptop compartments, come with carrying handles. However, make sure it also provides shoulder and backpack straps for easier and more flexible portability.
Waterproofing and protection from UV rays. If you plan to carry important gadgets such as your laptop and other mobile devices, make sure the bag is waterproof. This will protect your delicate stuff from spills, drizzle, rain, and moisture. The materials used in its construction should also be UV resistant to preserve the bag’s appearance and increase durability.

How durable is the duffel bag?

The durability of Duffel bags has made these handy portable haulers quite popular. However, it is important to check things that add durability to the bag such as double stitching, strong canvas material, quality hardware, and overall construction of the bag.

Today’s duffel is quite versatile in usage. It can be used to carry every type of small gear from work supplies and sports or gym gear to most of the personal stuff you need while camping or in an outdoor adventure. Get one with a handy compartment to carry your laptop safely.
