We are big Bellroy fans over here, from their wallets to slings to backpacks this brand is always killing it with style and functionality. BUT how strong is their duffel game?

This is the Classic Weekender 45L duffel bag with Bellroy's classic style, quick access pockets, a removable shoulder strap, and many more features.

45L may sound like a huge duffel but luckily the materials of this bag allow the duffel to not be too bulky and big when it's not fully packed out.

So if you're going on an overnight trip and don't need to use it to it's full capacity, it won't be too big to bring. But on the flip if you're traveling for longer you can fully pack this bag out and get a great use of it's large capacity. Best of both worlds!

To learn more about our honest thoughts about the Bellroy Classic Weekender, watch our video for an in-depth review!

Duffels are THE BEST for car trips. No logical reason, but it feels right

[cselig]

Who else measures things in grams? The entire non-American world? 😛

[BoricuaFez]

I am not much of a duffle bag guy, but I might see this and the alternatives mention as a nice weekend getaway bag for road trips.

[Ryot_]

I was looking at this bag a few months ago. It looks nice but it's just too expensive imo.
I bought the Carhartt Trade Series 2-in-1 Duffel for 58 euros instead. It's like a black hole without the organization of the Bellroy but the materials and build quality are very solid and it packs super well with packing cubes👌

[sergeiegorkin]

Do you see Evergoods' Transit Duffel ghost in this Bellroy bag? I kind of do. And my god, I love TD35.

[kunalmishra]

I think the duffle niche can be a little more palatable if it also is a *garment* duffle. To that end, we would love to see a review of Halfday's Garment duffle line (compact/standard/premium), though IIRC you're not a big suit guy

[KelvinHew]

Hey Aaron have you travel with a duffel by flight and what was your experience with it?

[paraagshah]

At $200, definitely would go for the Evergoods TD35 anyday - balanced balistic nylon over polyester, better organization options, and the padded dedicated laptop space if required.

[christiansimmons]

It’s interesting you say you’re a backpack guy when travelling, I use a full suite 😂

I have my big suitcases, a duffel as my carry on (currently looking for a new one) and then my backpack

I try for long periods, lots of camera gear and bring a lot of stuff back so I think it depends how you travel (light v heavy)

[seane]

When I’m exhausted of watching conspiracy theories, failed assassination updates and xx DESTROYS yy videos…. nomad nation is my happy place.

[BLACKHUNT]

Hi bro love your videos!
can't wait to see you reviewing the goruck kit bag 32L

[unfi]

What is a Vegan Non Animal leather.? Besides Pablo Escobar & Muffin Break, the other party who measures in grams Goldfinger. The duffle is great for coach & train travel even in the back of the truck when running contrabands but that diagonal shoulder straps...just not balancing the mass when fully packed. We never carries a duffel more than 100 metres. Unless heading to the gym, we don't put accessories into the quick access. It's an Aussie Weekender, besides necessities, it will be filled up with beers.!

[nrylanb]

Is the review for the Bellroy Venture Travel pack coming?

[republicedc]

where’s the Bellroy Venture Crossbody review? 😫😫😫

[booksandocha]

Would be interesting to hear a review of Black Ember's Dex duffel/travel backpack.

[giuseppecordioli]

Do you have Instagram? Because i wanted to ask you, what do you think about the airback. Thanks a lot ❤

[MarkCMoran]

I am totally not a duffel person, but if I was, I'd probably get the 35L version of this.

[Aurilash]

Most non-english speakers measure in grams and kg 😉 What drives me nuts is oz....

[bennoh]

I like the Bellroy look but have heard nothing but nightmare reviews of their customer service.

[LilithTitan]

Not a fan of this bag, but I am curious if you're going to continue the tomtok reviews and if you ordered the bag I recommended to you some time ago. The PGYTEK onemo and I'd also recommend their PGYTEK techsack. I've used a lot of techbags and theirs is among my favorite all round.
