REI Co-op Stuff 30L

While not everyone needs their duffel bags to pack compactly, it may be a highly useful attribute in certain scenarios: perhaps you are short on storage space, embarking on an excursion where every centimeter and ounce counts, or just want an additional duffel for the keepsakes that you intend to acquire throughout your travels. Whatever the reason, it is best to opt for an ultra-compact design, and REI Co-op Stuff 30L is among our favorites.

With a weight of only 6.4 ounces - and an incorporated pocket that is slimmer than a 2-liter water bottle - the REI Co-op Stuff 30L is by far the most minimalistic choice available. With a price tag of only $35, this item is a nearly perfect alternative - whether you use it as your main or backup bag. We also like the REI Stuff's adaptability in space-constrained and weight-constrained circumstances.

Still, bear in mind that this is not your typical travel bag. Due to a flimsy nylon structure and a limited 30-liter capacity, it will not withstand long-term usage. Also, it might be a little bit challenging to keep all your goods dry.
