It’s made of extremely durable TPU fabric with a DWR coating to shed water, snow, and other moisture away. Torrential downpours and even the errant sidewalk puddle don’t stand a chance with this water-resistant rolling duffel that even has rainflaps for added protection against the elements. There is no handle to carry the bag horizontally. The Details: 11 pounds | 16 x 30.3 x 14 inches | 98 liters The price tag may be steep, but this bag’s looks and performance make it a worthy investment. This rolling duffel also has enough compartments to satisfy any organization enthusiast, with two sides including one with added compression straps to hold clothing securely. We were especially impressed by how easily it maneuvered over a variety of different surfaces, and noted how smoothly the oversized wheels worked on uneven carpeting, too. The fabric and the zippers are substantial and luxurious, and the bag easily held up for multiple bat whacks and drops from a high table. In fact, after regularly using the bag for two months, we found that it can fit weeks' worth of clothing while keeping gear and accessories organized in individual pockets. They say that travel is about the journey, not (necessarily) the destination, and packing a Tumi bag is always an enjoyable part of any journey. The Details: 9.3 pounds | 32.6 x 16 x 13.7 inches | 100 liters We also noticed, after regularly using the bag for two months, that it sometimes falls over when fully packed because it is front heavy. The durable, oversized wheels performed well during our maneuverability tests, but we did dock half a point because this is a very, very large bag that smaller individuals may have difficulty moving around, especially in crowded spaces. The bag is also highly weather-resistant, crafted from a coated ripstop material made from 100 percent recycled fabric, lining, and webbing. If we were to roll the clothes or even use packing cubes, we could fit double or triple the number of items.
Packing quickly, we found that we had so much room to spare during tests. We tested the largest size which features a large main compartment that makes it a cinch to pack whatever gear you throw its way, as well as a zippered side pocket and mesh pockets for smaller items you want to keep separate. Get on board with the bag that travelers around the world swear by: Patagonia’s Black Hole Duffel, which comes in a 40-liter, a 70-liter, and an unbelievably spacious 100-liter version. We found the perfect pick for anyone traveling light, a standout for camping trips and other outdoor adventures, and so forth.īecause it’s so large, some may struggle with maneuvering it. While top marks went to the spacious, water-resistant Patagonia Black Hole Wheeled Duffel Bag - part of the brand’s enormously popular Black Hole range, which is a hit with travelers around the world - there were a number of runners up that were each strong in their own category. It was tough work, but somebody had to do it, and that’s how we landed on these final 12 rolling duffels.
And, above all else, we considered all of these tests, and their respective price tags, to consider what total value these bags offer. We then took a baseball bat to them to test durability (seriously). We pushed them, pulled them, and steered them every which way to test their maneuverability. We went over them with a fine-tooth comb to consider design features big and small. We packed them to the brim to test their capacity. To help you in this journey, we set out to find the best of the best when it comes to rolling duffels, combing the market before ultimately putting 30 products through a battery of tests.
