Essential Packing Tips for Your Weekend Getaway

Packing light doesn’t mean sacrificing what you need. Here are some tried-and-true tips to help you maximize space and stay organized:

• Plan versatile outfits: Choose clothing that can mix and match easily, suitable for different occasions.
• Roll your clothes: Rolling saves space and minimizes wrinkles compared to folding.
• Use packing cubes: These help keep your bag organized and make it easy to find items quickly.
• Limit your shoes: Shoes take up the most room, so bring only what’s necessary for your trip.
• Travel-size toiletries: Keep your bag light and comply with airline regulations by packing smaller bottles.
• Leave extra space: Always leave room for souvenirs or last-minute additions.

With these tips, your AWOL canvas or leather duffle bag will be perfectly packed and ready for any weekend adventure.

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

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

• Canvas Duffle Bags: Made from military-grade waxed canvas, these bags are lightweight, water-resistant, and develop a beautiful patina over time. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and those who want a rugged yet versatile bag.
• Leather Duffle Bags: Featuring premium American leather, these bags exude timeless style and strength. Perfect for business trips or anyone looking for a sophisticated yet durable travel companion.

Both options are crafted with veteran-owned pride and built to last, making them excellent choices for men and women who demand quality and authenticity.

Care and Maintenance for Rugged Carry On Bags

To keep your AWOL duffle bag looking and performing its best, follow these simple care tips:

For Canvas Bags:

• Brush off dirt regularly with a soft brush or cloth.
• Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents to preserve the wax coating.
• Reapply canvas wax periodically to maintain water resistance.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

For Leather Bags:

• Wipe leather parts with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
• Condition leather regularly with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water and heat sources.
