If you are the type of traveler who always manages to overstuff your suitcase, this lightweight duffel bag will come to the rescue. It can be folded and packed away when not in use (and will virtually take up no room at all), and the bag is also water-resistant.

Luggage Lovers Say: “My carry-on suitcase arrived yesterday. I am very impressed with the quality of construction and functionality. Most carry-ons are either for my computer and accessories with little or no room for clothes, or they are fine for clothes but have no provisions for storing and protecting a computer. This will be great for both. I loaded my 15″ Mac into the padded compartment and my iPad in the smaller padded compartment. There is room for accessories and cables in that compartment. There is a ton of space available in the main compartment for clothes and toiletries, or anything else you need. I like that the computer and tablet have their own compartment with easy access!” —Bilfis, Amazon Reviewer

We are a big fan of Samsonite’s super-durable Winfield suitcase range, and the newest addition to the series does not disappoint. The Winfield 3 suitcase is made with a textured polycarbonate shell that makes scratches almost unnoticeable to the naked eye, and the four-pocket middle panel is reversible for more efficient cramming. The flexible zippers can be stretched to give an additional 1.5 inches of room.

Luggage Lovers Say: “I deliberated for ages as to whether this would be big enough to use for luggage for a four-day long city break as I wanted something that I didn’t have to check-in for the flight to cut down on time wasted in the airport once we arrived.
“It was perfect! I managed to get in jeans, leggings, pajamas, three tops, underwear, toiletries/make-up, hair straighteners, a guidebook, an iPad, and a Kindle and there was still room leftover. It was so light to carry, and easy too thanks to the long shoulder strap. The only negative, and it’s not a big one, is that I can’t refold it back into its pocket but it folds up small anyway so storing it isn’t a problem. The quality is very good, it’s unlined but the material is quite thick and strong and it looks much more expensive than it actually is.” —JoMc, Amazon Reviewer

One, it’s large- I can fit a week’s worth of clothes and shoes, but it’s not huge and heavy because when I need to store it, it collapses down flat. Two, it has nice zipper compartments — some on the outside, and inside, there’s one on the left side that I can unzip and add smaller things like jewelry, toiletries, or undergarments. Third, it’s water-resistant on the outside and the outer fabric feels durable, too. Lastly, the wheels are larger than I see on most rolling bags, so they can handle a bit rougher surface. Love this bag!” —Steph McC, Amazon Reviewers
