Carhartt, the hunky sex symbol of menswear brands, makes workwear hot and bothered again. Its bags are nine times out of ten tough-as-nails and this one is available in a macho khaki brown. Hence, this duffel is truly ready for whatever it'll face on the go, just like you.

Mack Weldon hasn't been playing the "reinventing menswear basics" card for too long, but it's already made its way to the top by doing nothing other than making better-quality items.

This is a damn innovated duffel, one we have to say is the "jack-of-all-trades" bag.

For something minimal but effective, this sturdy duffel bag is a foolproof option. The size is the perfect in between, with enough inner storage for all your necessities, but a compact enough volume to fit into overhead storage. And with added features like a TSA-friendly pocket, water bottle loop, and laptop sleeve, it's clear that Pakt thought of everything.

An easy-open, easy-access duffel made from durable recycled polyester ripstop. Plus, it packs down into an easy carry case. You'll never need another adventure bag.

Rains should be one of the first brands you check for waterproof accessories—which makes the brand name quite ironic. Its duffel bag in that roughing-it tube silhouette will guard all electronics and fabrics within. Size down or up if you like.

This duffel is made in waxed cotton, so it'll age like fine wine. But if patience fails you, take this timeless styling advice: It'll look great with a pair of Chukka or Desert boots beneath it, a waxed trucker jacket—or flannel shirt—above it, and a pair of aviator shades to seal the panache.

Tumi's Mason fits the flying-first-class theme like no other. You can just bring it and nothing else, since it's sized to pack the essentials for your business trip to London. But if you're heading to vacation in Hawaii, Mason will sit nicely atop your luggage.

If your bumpy outing involves kayaking at a lakeside cabin upstate or fending off crocodiles elsewhere, consider strapping onto Filson's fully-waterproof, no-BS duffel that is as badass-looking as its is badass-functional.

Caraa's convertible duffel is so versatile that we proclaimed it as one you can take everywhere. The nylon plus Italian leather facade is a sleek upgrade to sporty canvas, but it's still a duffel at its core, so it can stow your gym, tech, work, and fashion stuff, no sweat.

Crafted from fine Italian leather emerges the Cosimo. The main reason it's one of our editors' go-to travel products is the convertible design—going from garment bag to duffel in a matter of seconds. Keep your clothing wrinkle free in an exterior that's as luxe as it gets.

We'll do the math for you: Dagne Dover's Landon has 5 x 5 = 25 options (excluding limited editions), from XS in "dune" to XL in "storm". There's got to be one combo in the mix that'll suit your duffel needs. They're stretchy and washable, too.

Nothing, no-thing, beats a leather duffel bag. Sure it's pricey now, but you'll never have to buy another one. Plus, it'll look even better after decades of use. And Métier's use of pockets is truly so smart, it's almost mind blowing.

A round of applause for water-resistant waxed canvas, which gives you a polished look that's actually durable. No need to live in fear of airplane turbulence and your ginger ale taking a tumultuous dive onto the duffel at your feet. Yeah, this guy is here to last.
