Polare 23" Duffel Retro Thick Full Grain Cowhide Leather Gym Weekender Overnight Luggage Bag 42L

I have now had this duffel bag for a little over two years, and it has never disappointed. I have taken it on various business and personal trips all over the country, as well as a few international flights, and it is just ideal. The main compartment of the 23-inch bag provides ample room for everything one would need for just a couple of days, or everything you would not want to check for a longer trip. The wide opening for this compartment makes loading and unloading easy, and allows me to pack flat and neat, so as not to wrinkle dress shirts or other clothing in transit. The two side zip compartments are great for toiletries and other travel necessities, and/or chargers and other electronics one might need on the road. I was initially skeptical about the two front Velcro compartments, but their easy access, and general convenience makes them great for quickly stowing my cell phone, wallet, and a few other items as I head through security at the airport. Overall, the storage and versatility is great, and the best part is that it fits easily into the ever-shrinking airline carry-on compartments, unlike bulky hardcase roller bags.
In addition to the excellent utility of the bag, it looks great - I very often get complements on it (and definitely plan to order a second bag from Polare for my laptop). The handle of this duffel is very comfortable to hold, and the shoulder strap provides convenient hands-free transit (again, I feel, superior to roller bags). The quality of the manufacture is excellent, and after two years, I still have nothing but great things to say about this purchase – I highly recommend.

Perfect for a week on the road. Great size for a carry-on and very durable. Will be buying from Polare again.

I looked a long time before finally buying the Polare leather bag. Don’t be fooled by bags on Amazon or eBay for $100. They won’t be near this quality, they won’t be fully lined and they won’t have the quality of stitching and construction that the Polare products have. You can save yourself some time/money and buy the Polare……confident that you’ll be glad you did.

exactly as advertised. quality galore. looks great. feels great. fast shipping. arrives in a protective cloth bag. worth the cost. will use for years.

1. Beautiful leather, quality & look.
2. U-zip allows you to easily find and pull out your articles.
3. Enough pockets to keep things organized, but not so many it gets silly and loses its function
4. Weight is fine despite great quality.
5. Good size for a weekend/long weekend getaway.
