Traveling isn't all about the destination; it's also about the journey there, and having the right luggage is an important part of making it easy and enjoyable.
When a full suitcase is too big and your commuter backpack is too small, duffel bags are the ideal size for weekend trips. There are many stylish duffle bags that can carry your stuff, but sometimes durability and function are more important than being fashionable. Known for its quality assure bags, Timbuk2 created a bag that literally anyone would find useful. The Timbuk2 Wander Pack features a water-resistant 420D ripstop nylon exterior, a spacious high volume main compartment, and all the additional storage space you could ever need. Aside from a separate compartment for your shoes, a 15-inch padded laptop sleeve, and an easy access compartment to smaller items, what truly makes the Wander Pack unique is its ability to convert from a traditional handheld duffel bag into a backpack. Timbuk2 sent over the the new Wander Pack, and it's easily the best duffel bag I've carried. 
The Wander Pack fits into TSA carry-on requirements and definitely has space to carry enough belongings for trips longer than an extended weekend. When I first saw the Wander Pack, I knew that it would be an extremely useful bag. While you can't deny the convenience in space of traditional duffel bags, one of my biggest gripes is having to carry them over one shoulder or by hand. Backpacks are naturally easier to carry, as the weight is distributed over your shoulders and back. And with the amount of stuff you can pack inside Wander Pack, the ability to convert it is a major plus. You can tell that the backpack functionality wasn't an afterthought. Timbuk2 really took their time designing this bag. If you choose to carry the bag on your back, cushioned straps and a padded ventilated back panel will keep you comfortable. If you do want to carry it by hand, the straps stow away in their own compartment. Although it is a small touch, I also really appreciate the reflective accents on the bag. The logo and all of the zipper tabs add visibility, and in my opinion, some style. Whether you're going on a planned trip or a spur-of-the-moment adventure, the Timbuk2 Wander Pack is a one of the best duffel bag options on the market right now.
