Men's Sac for travel: weekend, duffel and large size

The men's travel bag range is led by travelite: Crosslite, Briize, Basics expandable, and Kick Off XL. The Rains Weekend and Texel Duffel waterproof bags, the Fred Perry Classic Barrel and Mini Barrel, Hindbag Gabriel and Yves in organic cotton, and Elliker Arten complete the offer, from weekend trips to longer stays.

Travel light

A travel bag can be packed in just a few minutes, tossed into a boot, and carried over your shoulder at a station. For a weekend or a week-long stay, it remains the most flexible alternative to a suitcase.

The range goes from a compact weekend bag to a large expandable one.

travelite, the complete range

Specialising in luggage, travelite occupies most of the section. The Crosslite, available in sizes M and L, and the Briize focus on lightweight design. The Basics range, with an expandable L version, grows with a zipper when you bring back more than you took.

The Kick Off XL, a large format, swallows up gear for a ski trip or a tournament.

Rains, the waterproof duffel

The Danish brand Rains, founded in Aarhus, applies its waterproof expertise to the travel bag. The Weekend and the Texel Duffel, made from coated fabric, protect the contents from rain, a bonus on a train platform or in a bike trailer.

Fred Perry, the holdall

At Fred Perry, there are two cylindrical holdalls adorned with laurel: the Mini and the Classic. The Mini is for a night, while the Classic is for a weekend.

Hindbag and Elliker

Hindbag, a French brand, offers two travel bags made from organic cotton sewn in an Indian social workshop. The Arten from Elliker, coming from northern England, fits easily above a TGV seat.

What format to choose?

One night: a mini holdall or a small bag.
Weekend: a medium bag, like Weekend or Crosslite M.
One week: a large bag or an expandable model.
Ski or tournament: a large format like the Kick Off XL.

What is a duffel?

A duffel is a soft, elongated travel bag, often cylindrical or rectangular, with two handles and a shoulder strap. Derived from sailors' and military bags, it holds a lot of volume without a frame.

The expandable bag

An additional zipper increases the capacity of the bag. Handy for the return from a trip when souvenirs are added to the belongings.

The cabin bag

Airlines each set their own size limits for cabin baggage. Measure your bag before booking. A flexible model fits more easily within the size constraints.

Travel bags and cars

In a boot, several soft bags fit better than a hard suitcase. They adapt to the available space and can be packed between two boxes.

Packing your bag well

Place shoes and heavy items at the bottom, rolled clothes in the middle, and the toiletries bag on top. Small pockets can hold chargers, documents, and headphones.

The travel bag for skiing

For a week of skiing, a large bag accommodates the suit, warm layers, gloves, and mask. Ski boots often travel separately in a dedicated cover. A waterproof bag protects the belongings from snow when loading.

Carrying a loaded bag

A wide, padded shoulder strap distributes the weight on your shoulder. For a heavy bag, alternate shoulders or carry it by hand with the handles over short distances.

Colours

Black and khaki remain the most discreet and age well. A bright colour is easily spotted from afar when luggage arrives.

Care

On your return, empty the bag, shake it out, and let it air. Coated fabrics like those from Rains can be wiped down with a damp sponge. Cotton can be washed according to the label. Store the empty, folded bag in a dry cupboard.
