Fmeida 65L Duffle Bag with Sneakers Compartment, Foldable Commute Duffel Luggage for Males Ladies, Massive Packable Commute Bag Water Repellent & Tear Resistant (Black)

The material is a little thin but addiquite for road trips in a car. Plenty of space inside for 4-5 changes of clothes and toiletries can go in the outside zippered pockets.

Recently got back from a trip to Spain and this duffle bag was the best travel hack we’ve discovered in a while.

We normally take one checked luggage and two carry-ons, and a backpack for me and a large purse for my wife. We try to travel relatively light.

So this time, I grabbed this folding duffle literally last minute before heading out and tossed it into the checked-luggage suitcase. The duffle bag, when folded, is thin and lightweight, so it doesn’t really take up much space in your luggage.

On returning from Spain, we stuffed the duffle with our dirty laundry, our puffer jackets, and whatever else that was not too valuable, like non-fragile gifts, casual shoes, and some books. The duffle bag is a good size and the material is sturdy, albeit a little thin. So this is great for stuffing in things like we did, but you are not going to want to use this to carry heavy items or anything of significant value, since it doesn’t have much internal structure and therefore won’t protect items inside all that well.

With the bulky and lightweight stuff removed from our other travel gear and stuffed into this duffle, we were free to do some duty-free gift shopping. We bought a few bottles of expensive Spanish brandy and olive oil and we were able to carry those in our carry-ons instead of lugging them around in those security-sealed bags all day through multiple airports.

On returning home, the bag looked great and it seems of good enough quality that it will last at least a few more trips overseas. I’ll write an updated review when the bag finally gives out.

So far, this is the best $16 I’ve spent on something that is actually useful for travel.

Verdict: Highly Recommended

UPDATE: December 2024 – So after two more international trips, one to Peru and one to Turkey, this duffle bag has performed wonderfully. It has been put into checked luggage now on at least seven flights, four of them internationally, and it has come out without any problems – no tears, rips, or anything. On this last trip to Turkey, I had it stuffed to the gills with miscellaneous items and it weighed 27 lbs. on the airline’s luggage scale fully packed. I had to push and pull to get the zippers to close. I was worried that it might pop open, but it performed beautifully. The only issue I had was the side shoe pocket’s zip would come undone after a few sessions being tossed around by the baggage handlers, so I just superglued it shut and that problem was solved. This packable duffle bag is still highly recommended!

This bag was a godsend on our trip to South America. I bought this almost as an afterthought (thanks to my sister telling me I would need it ) and placed it on a suitcase thinking it would not be used. It’s very compact and did not take much room at all. At the end of the trip, we realized that we would need another bag to carry our many purchases. I remembered we had brought this, opened it up and was so surprised at how big it was! We stuffed it with our dirty laundry and used it my second checked luggage.

While I wouldn’t rely on it as my primary travel bag—it’s a bit thin, and the zippers aren’t the most durable—it’s a fantastic backup option. It’s also great for short trips or as a lightweight weekend bag. Overall, this duffle is a solid, convenient solution for those unexpected situations when you need extra storage.
