It can be difficult to compress it down for storage.
The Patagonia Black Hole duffel is one of the most spacious and durable bags weve tested.

The laptop pocket is a generous size with lots of padding for a 17-inch laptop (or smaller).
There are also front pockets with various organization features, including a key ring.
The shoulder straps aren’t very padded, so may not be comfortable for wearing long-term.
While the bag is large and durable, it is relatively lightweight, which we love for a carry-on.
The zippers are really smooth and good for easily zipping open and closed for quick access.
After dropping the bag three times, there was no signs of damage on the bag.
It doesnt have any outside pockets.
Theyre padded, adjustable, and easy to carry even when the 90-liter bag is packed to capacity.
We love that the bag is solidly made of strong, weather-resistant TPE laminate and nylon.
We wish it had some outside pockets though.
Because of its size, it can be hard to maneuver when fully packed.
The protective materials make this bag a great option for camping or hauling gear as well.
I personally tested this bag during ourpackable backpacks testand was thoroughly impressed with its capacity.
It fit everything from our packing list and could have fit tons more.
There are also removable backpack straps that allow you to convert it from duffel to backpack.
For its size, this is a fairly heavy weekender bag.
This Beis weekender really takes convertible to a whole new level.
It doesnt allow for easy access to some items.
you’ve got the option to even add a personalized monogram.
It doesnt have a luggage sleeve.
The Caraa Studio Tote is a stylish and versatile bag youll want to take with you everywhere.
We wish it came with a longer strap for more ways to carry it comfortably.
It’s plenty spacious inside and has various compartments and pockets for organization.

We began by weighing and measuring each bag and evaluating its features.
We then noted whether each was comfortable or not and provided details as to why.
We also carried the bags around again to check for any changes or problems.
Our favorite convertible bags are easy to use and convert between the different designs without too much trouble.
