Cavernous packing space, no-nonsense design, and apocalypse-ready durability—here are the 15 best rolling duffel bags that have it all.

Monos is the number one suitcase brand we recommend, but Samsonite is the most popular luggage manufacturer in the world. Ultimately, which brand to choose depends on how you travel and what you prioritize.

Delsey offers timeless style and excellent durability, while Samsonite loads up on innovative features and modern design. The choice depends on what you prioritize in your luggage.

Weight limits for carry-on luggage can range from 11 to 40 lbs, depending on the airline. Do your homework to make sure your bag isn’t overweight.
