Guide
Travel & kit bags
A bag works when its opening, carrying method and usable shape suit your kit. Lay out your load first, then choose a large transport bag or small organiser.
Key points
- Capacity alone does not describe the opening or usable shape.
- Check handles and shoulder straps with a realistic load.
- Water-repellent fabric does not make the entire bag waterproof.

Frequently asked questions
Is every bag suitable as cabin luggage?
No. Compare the packed external dimensions with your airline’s current rules. Capacity alone is insufficient; handles and bulging sections may count towards the limits.
Duffle or backpack?
A duffle can be convenient for packing and vehicle transport. For longer walks, a suitable backpack harness is often more comfortable. Choose for the longest distance you will carry your kit.
Do I need an organiser?
It can help separate small items or clothing groups. Choose only the necessary size and check the main bag opening. Extra pouches also add to the total weight.
Can wet clothing go straight in?
Separate it from dry contents where possible and follow fabric care guidance. Dry the bag and clothing fully after transport. A wet-kit compartment is not automatically permanently waterproof.
