I chose this duffel because its dimensions are exactly the size required as the maximum for most airlines. However, one thing I will certainly be aware of is the fact that, as a soft-sided duffel bag, if I stuff it too full, the dimensions can stretch beyond the allowable limit.

This duffel is a bright, clear red which I personally find very attractive. But even better, the color will act as a beacon to help me spot the duffel in Baggage Claim. I purchased it for an upcoming trip to replace a large, black duffel bag, which always seemed to be frustratingly identical to nine out of ten other duffel bags on the turnstile.

This bag also folds up small enough that it could be packed inside a carry-on size suitcase. I don't plan to do that, but some travelers might like that possibility very much as an extra suitcase to be filled with vacation souvenirs and checked for the return trip.
