Measuring 18″L X 12″H X 11″D this boxy duffle features a capacious central container that holds a week's worth of clothing plus my large toiletries case. The exterior is micro-ballistic nylon. Around the four sides of the main storage container are zipper pockets. One is a reinforced laptop pocket (designed for laptops up to 15″). Another is meant for iPad-sized tablets and contains a mesh pouch for cables. Another side pocket is good for my AmazonBasics Universal Travel Case. The fourth pocket has small pouches and a zipper mesh pouch that's perfect for pens, notebooks, and other goodies.
Recently, I took the Weekender on an overnight trip to Chicago. It doesn't have wheels, so I was concerned it would be a pain to haul around. As a test, I walked 2.5 miles from the metro station to my hotel. The reinforced shoulder strap was excellent, and I was comfortable carrying it. Every 1/2 mile or so I would switch the strap to my other shoulder.
Emboldened by the experiment, I took the Weekender on a 5-day business trip to Tokyo and it performed terrifically. The central container was large enough to hold all my clothes plus a bunch of souvenirs, and I quickly memorized which side pockets held which gear, making it easy to retrieve and replace stuff without digging through clothing.
On my recent 12-day trip to Europe I used my beat-up Briggs & Riley, but from now on, any trip under a week is going to be with the Skooba.
