Outdoor Products Daytrip Backpack

If you are looking for a durable, nice-looking backpack at a great price, this backpack checks all the boxes.

This was actually supposed to be MY new daypack. Someone had other ideas.

It's very lightweight, which makes it a great daypack or a weekend bag. It's got enough compartments to keep your items separated or organized. It's also eco-friendly and is made of recycled plastic bottles! We use way too much plastic, even though we try and limit that. This makes kind of initiative makes me feel slightly less guilty.

This eco-friendly bag was made with bottles. Love it!

Available at Walmart.

73 Originals Super Duffle Bag

If you prefer a duffle bag over a backpack or a hard-sided suitcase, this duffle bag from 73 Originals is very roomy. 

This water resistant duffle comes in two colors – we like the black because it shows less dirt. It's got lots of pockets and compartments so it's easy to keep your shoes and dirty clothes separated. It has leather accents and the shoulder strap comes off if you don't want to carry it this way. 

We took this on a weekend road trip and thought it was perfect. You can easily fit clothes and toiletries for one person for 2-3 days in here, plus the soft sided style makes it easy to pack in your car. 

Purchase online here.
