Cant decide between these two options?

Though there are many exterior pockets, we’d add more pockets inside.

The bag had other elements we liked as well, including smooth zippers and an easy-to-use handle.

It was comfortable to carry as a duffel bag as well if you choose not to roll it.

We liked the organization and pockets inside the bag but would prefer more pockets on the outside as well.

The duffel is largely unstructured, which some may find frustrating on a large bag like this.

Its made from ultradurable FXT ballistic nylon with stylish cowhide leather accents.

One of the exterior pockets is even lined with water-resistant fabric for separating damp laundry.

Finally, the duffel has top and side carry handles and a telescoping handle with two smooth-rolling recessed wheels.

We felt the handle could extend more smoothly and wished that it had more than one height setting.

The bag rolls well across cement, with a little more effort required for carpet and tight turns.

The main compartment is unstructured while multiple exterior pockets in varying sizes satisfy even the most organized packer.

The duffel comes in an impressive range of colors from charcoal gray to hot pink.

The laptop sleeve is fully adjustable, providing a custom fit for 13- to 17.3-inch laptops.

A wheeled weekender serves a similar function but with a different crossbody aesthetic.

Weekenders are, as the name suggests, the ideal carry-on companion for aweekend getawayor business trip.

Having wheels makes transporting a bigger, heavier bag that much easier.

Others are concerned only with weight, with 50 pounds being the most common maximum allowance.

Because a weekender is often the only bag you will pack for your getaway, organization is key.

When choosing a bag, consider the kind of trip youre most likely to use it for.
