Travel Bags

An ideal travel bag must have room for all your essential things plus additional room for any that you may pick up along the way.

What to Look for When Buying a Travel Bag

There are a few things that are as important as packing whenever you are planning a trip, these include:

• Color
• Quality
• Price
• Weight
• Size

Make sure to consider these as well:

• The purpose of travel – The reason for your trip will directly affect the type of baggage you require. For instance, if you are on a road trip, ensure that you find a bag that can securely fit on your back.
• Duration of trip – If you are going for a short trip, all that you need can fit in a backpack. If you are going on a longer trip, a suitcase is a safe choice. Ensure that it is one that you can handle on your own without assistance.
• Contents of the bag – If you are carrying sensitive or brittle items for your trip, you need to have a sturdy travel bag. The same also applies if you plan to buy souvenirs to bring back home.

Duffel Bag

These have the shape of a cylinder with shoulder carrying straps and zip closures. They are convenient when walking around especially on short trips. Duffel bags are spacious and are ideal for carrying shoes and clothes as well as toiletries.

Travelling Backpack

This is just like your school backpack and is ideal for all kinds of travel especially if it involves hiking or riding bikes. At Velomio, you will find backpacks that are comfortable to carry, durable, and can fit in the overhead carriage space of a plane or bus. 

Shoulder bag

Shoulder bags are most common with women though there are some for men too. An ideal shoulder bag for men is the messenger bag. You wear them across your chest and are an urban fashion icon.

Rolling Backpack

This is essentially a backpack on wheels that allows you to either roll it like a suitcase or traditionally carry it on your back. These backpacks are not as flexible as traditional backpacks.  This is because they have a stiff membrane along the back to aid in rolling it like a suitcase. A good rolling backpack comes with a PVC weatherproof tarpaulin, stow-able back straps as well as dirt and waterproof lockable zippers.
