A convertible duffel bag might just be the sexiest thing you’ll ever carry around.

A convertible duffel is a great choice for short trips to the airport or to your next long-haul vacation. It’s large enough to fit all your clothes, plus shoes and toiletries, but small enough that you can tote it easily from the airplane to the hotel or from one end of a city to the other.

The convertible duffel boasts a slew of features, including a padded laptop compartment, an extra-long main zipper, and two exterior side pockets with zip-around closures. The big news is that it’s also surprisingly lightweight and easy to maneuver.

Most convertible duffels are made of durable materials like canvas and ballistic nylon, but this one strays into a different category with the addition of an aluminum frame for superior strength and lightweight durability. The metal frame is also sturdily stitched to the bag’s base, which makes for a well-balanced, sturdy package.

The most impressive feature of the best convertible duffel bag is that it can be converted from a duffel to a backpack in no time, and has plenty of stowable straps to boot. In addition to its many pockets and compartments, the most innovative part is the nifty foldable divider that allows you to reclaim space for other gear. The clever design is also a major talking point for most travelers, as one reviewer said that she had never found a backpack that’s as comfortable to wear as the high-quality straps on this model.
