Samsonite Pro Duffel Review & What I Pack in it

hey fellow explorers I just got a new travel duffel and I thought in this video I would review it show you around this Samsonite Pro duffel bag show you what I pack in it tell you what I like about it and tell you what I don't like about it this duffel is 21 inches long 16 and a half inches tall and 13 inches wide the best thing about this duffel and the reason why I got it and I've I have a bunch of duffels like this but I got a new one because my other ones have worn out is because it is designed to stack on top of rolling luggage so if you have rolling luggage you can just put this over the handle and then this will travel along with the luggage I am not the world's lightest Packer and so sometimes I need to pack stuff beyond what is in my carry-on bag and so that's what I bring the duffel for this is carry-on size so you can bring a rollerboard and then you can put this under the seat of some Airlines the other reason for me is I got big shoes I've got size 14 shoe shoes then these are usually the things I'm carrying extra shoes that go in this duffel okay now I'm going to show you around the duffel the different pockets and then we'll take a look at what I packed in it for a two day trip here to Fabulous Ridgecrest California where I'm at the Best Western China Lake Inn so there's two ways you can carry it with this shoulder strap which has a big wide thing it's quite comfy and it's also detachable so if you have to check this duffel in no problem you just take this off and go ahead and stow it in one of your pockets oh by the way it's one of the reasons why I like this particular duffel it's really kind of a rigid duffel and it's a thick material so if you do have to check it in you don't have to worry about it getting completely destroyed by the airline baggage handling the other holder up here on top it's got two handles that then have a velcro that come together to make it not too handled but to make it one and that kind of hides the main pocket that I'm gonna get into in just a moment but let's go ahead and start with this front pocket first it is currently empty in mine but this front pocket is basically like an organizer pocket where it's got this organizer thing that comes with it that I guess you could use for toiletries or you could use for electronics I'm not sure I think that's a big gimmicky but you can put your like boarding passes or passports or Keys like that in this front pocket now it's got two side pockets on it and first we'll go ahead and open this side pocket this side pocket's really interesting it has a little it like actually goes in like this and so if you've got shoes you've got something dirty that you don't want to put in the main compartment you can put it in here that then it's separated by all this material that goes inside which is neat or you can just use it for the two inches of a side pocket that it is and then there's a second side pocket over on this side what's in this side pocket well that's that strap that I put in there I got a t-shirt hanging out in here and it's also got a place where you can charge your cell phone if you have like a wireless charger you can put like the wireless charger there and then strap the cell phone in it I think this is kind of a gimmicky thing more than anything else but I just use it for a pocket for more stuff all right I want to show you what I've got in the main compartment only two day trip so I didn't need to stuff this thing to the gills all right so here we go it's a big wide flap I like duffels I have a big wide flap rather than a center thing that goes like this it has a pocket right up here too so if you have something that you want to keep separate from the rest of your luggage this is if I'm going someplace cold or I like to put like a like a like a like a raincoat or a light jacket in there just a nice part to have it particularly if you ever need to like open it on the plane and just grab that one thing you've got it right there and so now this opens up to just a big compartment um and this is a light duffel it's 2.8 pounds less than three pounds I've got my toiletry kit in here I've got my Eagle Creek Packing Cube that has socks and underwear I've got another packing Cube that has t-shirts I've got uh one pair of pants I've got a second pair of pants and I've got uh this Eagle Creek folding doohickey where I've got a couple of dress shirts in there to keep them folded and not have them wrinkled and then finally I've got one more packing Cube that has my pajamas in it and so uh oh and electric toothbrush I always travel with a Oral B electric toothbrush anyways you can see this thing can store a lot of stuff I really like it um on this trip because it was two days I just brought this but if I'm going someplace for like a week then I'll bring my roller board and then I'll stack this on top of it if I'm going a really long time then I might check some stuff in because I might have my check-in bag with this on top of it how much does this thing cost retail price of this Samsonite Pro duffel is 250 dollars Samsonite often runs 20 off specials you can get it for like 200. I got this one from the Amazon warehouse deals for 150 which I think is about the right price point for this a 250 it's really expensive for this duffel bag but if you can get it for less than I mean I think it's a pretty good one so if you want a good stacking duffel bag that retains a shape that's not gonna um get collapsed it's also got nice feet on the bottom too then definitely consider the Samsonite Pro duffel bag if you're looking for some rollerboard bags you might want to enjoy checking out my review of some level eight suitcases here they have a neat yellow trunk and also a cool carry-on that's become my daily carry-on bag that I stack this on top of well fellow explorers as usual I won't say goodbye because I'm going to see you in this video
