The 15 Best Travel Bags For Every Type Of Trip — From Slings To Weekenders

We spend the majority of our lives in transit (daily commutes, weekend trips, bucket list hotel stays — what have you). No matter the length of our journeys, there was one item we relied on to help get from point A to point B and maybe even to point Z: a handy-dandy weekend bag or a smooth rolling suitcase designed specifically for travel. And with peak travel season just around the corner, we’re feeling the wanderlust ourselves — so we couldn’t resist the urge to round up the best travel bags on the market.

We rounded up our favorite top-rated workhorse tote bags, roomy weekenders, hard-case carry-ons, and utility duffels that are tried, tested, and customer-approved to withstand the wear and tear of hoofing it around town (or, in some cases, the globe). Scroll on to shop the best highest-reviewed travel bags from every category — starting small at highly coveted cosmetics bags and going big with extra-large hard-side rollers.
