Essential Packing Tips for Your Weekend Getaway

Packing light but smart is an art. Here are some tried-and-true tips to help you maximize space and keep your essentials organized in your AWOL duffle bag:

• Plan versatile outfits: Choose clothing pieces that mix and match easily to cover different occasions.
• Roll your clothes: Rolling instead of folding saves space and reduces wrinkles.
• Use packing cubes: Organize your gear by category for quick access and neatness.
• Limit your shoes: Shoes take up the most room; bring only what you’ll realistically wear.
• Pack travel-sized toiletries: Keep your bag light and compliant with airline rules.
• Leave extra space: Don’t fill your bag to the brim — leave room for souvenirs or last-minute additions.

With these tips, your rugged carry on bag will be perfectly packed and ready for any adventure.

Canvas vs. Leather Duffle Bags: Which One’s Right for You?

AWOL offers both vintage canvas duffle bags and leather duffle bags, each with unique benefits:

• Canvas Duffle Bags: Made from military-grade waxed canvas, these bags are water-resistant, lightweight, and incredibly durable. Perfect for outdoor adventures, ranch work, or casual travel.

Both styles are designed for men and women who appreciate rugged American craftsmanship and veteran-owned gear that stands the test of time.

Caring for Your Durable Weekend Bag

To keep your AWOL duffle bag looking and performing its best, proper care is essential:

Canvas Bag Care

• Brush off dirt regularly with a soft cloth or brush.
• Spot clean with cold water; avoid harsh detergents that strip wax coating.
• Reapply wax periodically to maintain water resistance.

Leather Bag Maintenance

• Wipe leather parts with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
• Condition leather regularly with quality leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water and heat.

Following these simple steps ensures your rugged carry on bag remains a trusted travel companion for years to come.
