The bag features tote handles and a padded shoulder strap, and though it was one of the heavier bags we tested, the comfortable straps ensured it wasn't cumbersome to carry around when packed with items. The bag didn't sustain any damage during our drop tests, so we think it's worth the investment for a rugged tote bag for short trips. The leather material looks and feels premium, and it held up perfectly during our drop tests, so it scored high for durability. Cuyana Large Travel Bag: Although the material of the bag feels luxurious and sturdy, we felt that the handles were a little thin and flimsy. The bag has numerous pockets and compartments for packing efficiently. It's filled to the brim with thoughtful features that are sure to make packing and traveling much more smooth. Not all weekender bags come with trolley sleeves to place it on a rolling suitcase, so if you’re planning to fly with a weekender bag, you’ll want to note special features for air travel, like a laptop sleeve, a water bottle holder, or accessible pockets for chargers and wallets. If you’re planning on using a weekender bag for business trips, one with a built-in suiter or separate compartment for shoes would be a better fit - or even a garment bag that can easily convert into a weekender.

Finding a weekender bag with the ideal number of pockets can be difficult, but luckily, Béis has one that makes packing quick and effortless. Durable and thoughtfully designed, this Béis weekender has everything we look for in a reliable travel bag. For a bag that is nearly $350, we would want to make sure it holds up over time. Having interior pockets or compartments also helps to keep your items organized so you don’t have to spend too much time looking through your work bag. The tote handles and padded shoulder strap are both comfortable, and we love that it has a trolley sleeve for placing the bag on a suitcase if needed. We also love that the bag is made with recycled materials that feel extremely long-lasting and ready to combat harsh travel conditions. Rothy’s The Weekender: The best part of this durable bag is that it's machine-washable, but we felt the price was a little steep at $549 compared to other options on our list.

The leather looks sleek and elegant, and costs a fraction of the price compared to other leather bags. Fans of classic design and durability may choose one of our soft, pebbled leather totes. The poly material passed our durability tests, so we expect this bag to last for a very long time, which helps justifies the higher price point. Then, we threw/dropped the weekender three to five times off a table to check the durability of the bag. To find out if the material is water-resistant or weatherproof, check the specifications listed by the manufacturer. Rains Bag: We appreciated that the material is completely waterproof, but the strap wasn’t cushioned, making it uncomfortable to wear for long periods (and there were no pockets on the inside or outside of the bag). It's a steal at $50, but we were suspicious that the super lightweight material may not be the most durable. Those hoping to invest in a more lightweight and cropped accessory might be better off buying something else.

This lightweight piece of equipment resembles a pair of headphones, with a small speaker for one ear and a microphone attachment. Instead of dipping cookies, we now just pair our coffee with pecans. The port-fuel-injected 2.8-liter V-6 standard in the Z24 lost five horsepower to 125 but was now also offered as an option in wagons. I loaded it up, and now it’s just a matter of grabbing the leather handle or tossing the shoulder strap and going. Leather bags can cost an arm and a leg, but this one from Quince is made with high-quality Italian leather and costs less than the average leather bag of this size. Handmade in Tuscany using Italian polished calf-skin leather and old world craft methods, this bag is rugged, yet supple and will be a great casual briefcase, or weekender bag. Oftentimes, bigger bags include pockets, separate compartment for shoes, and even packing cubes, so make sure whichever size bag you select suits your travel needs. Even experienced athletes can fall victim to serious heat-related ailments if they don't take special precautions.
