Peak Design Travel Duffel (Black, 50L)

I packed this duffel for a week-long trip and the oversized #10 zipper glides open and closed without any snagging, which made loading it a breeze. The recycled nylon canvas feels sturdy but not overly stiff, just right for tossing under a plane seat.

The oversized zipper glides so smoothly it almost feels over-engineered, and the waterproof bottom gave me zero anxiety tossing it on a damp airport curb. I’ve packed it to the brim for a week-long trip and the 50L size still fit overhead on a regional jet, which was a pleasant surprise.

The waterproof bottom is perfect for tossing it on damp ground, and the huge zipper glides smoothly. It holds a surprising amount for a carry-on bag, though the strap digs in a bit when fully packed.
