Buy Travel Bags – Flexible, Lightweight and Versatile

A travel bag is the flexible alternative to the classic hardshell suitcase. It's lighter, adapts to its contents and can be stored away space-savingly after your trip. Whether for a weekend getaway, the gym, a sports holiday or a longer journey – at Markenkoffer.de you'll find travel bags for every purpose.

Travel Bag Overview by Type

To help you quickly find the right model, our range of travel bags is divided into four categories:

  • Travel bags with wheels – the comfort of a trolley combined with the flexibility of a bag. Ideal for air travel and long distances on smooth surfaces. Sizes from 50 to over 120 litres.
  • Travel bags without wheels – classic duffel bags and holdalls, especially lightweight and foldable. Perfect for short trips, sporty weekends and as foldable spare luggage.
  • Large travel bags from 80 litres – maximum storage space for family holidays and long-distance travel. Often fitted with wheels, always with a carrying strap.
  • Sports bags – compact models for the gym, club or competition. With shoe compartment, wet compartment and shoulder strap.

Which Travel Bag Suits Which Purpose?

The most important question before buying: how long will the trip be and how will the bag be transported?

  • Short trip (1–3 days): 30–50 litres are enough. A lightweight duffel bag or sports bag is the right choice.
  • One week holiday: 50–80 litres give you extra room for clothing, shoes and souvenirs. Models with wheels take the strain off your back at the airport.
  • Family or long-distance travel: from 80 litres, ideally with wheels and an expansion feature.
  • Active holidays: travel bags made from robust, coated material protect your equipment from moisture.

Material and Features

Modern travel bags are made from durable polyester, nylon or coated canvas. Many models are water-repellent, and some are even water-column certified for extreme conditions. Look out for:

  • Detachable shoulder strap with padded support for comfortable carrying
  • Multiple compartments and zippered inner pockets for organised packing
  • Wet compartment or separate shoe compartment on sports models
  • Foldable construction for space-saving storage between trips
  • Reinforced base for a longer lifespan on rough surfaces

Travel Bag or Suitcase?

Both types of luggage have their merits. A travel bag scores with low weight, flexibility and compact storage. A classic trolley suitcase, on the other hand, offers more protection for delicate contents and rolls more stably over long distances. For many trips, a combination is ideal: a hardshell suitcase for checked luggage, plus a foldable travel bag as spare or day luggage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should a travel bag be?

The right size depends on the intended use: 30–50 litres for short trips and sport, 50–80 litres for a week's holiday, and from 80 litres for family trips and longer stays. For air travel, you should also check the airline's hand luggage or checked luggage dimensions.

Travel bag or trolley – which is better?

Travel bags are lighter, more flexible and foldable – ideal for short trips, sport and as spare luggage. A trolley suitcase offers more protection for delicate contents and rolls more comfortably. If you want both, choose a travel bag with wheels.

Are travel bags allowed as hand luggage?

Travel bags up to 55x40x20 cm are permitted as hand luggage with most airlines. Be sure to check the exact dimensions required by your airline, as low-cost carriers often have stricter rules. Foldable models can also be taken along as spare luggage.

Which material is the most durable?

For heavy use, coated polyester and nylon with 600D or 1000D fabric are ideal. Water-repellent coatings protect the contents from rain, and a reinforced base withstands rough surfaces too. For outdoor and water use, there are also water-column certified models available.

How do you care for a travel bag?

Outer surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Zips benefit from occasional lubrication with silicone spray. Store the bag in a dry place, ideally slightly filled, to help it keep its shape. For coated models, avoid using aggressive cleaning agents.

What's the difference between a sports bag and a travel bag?

Sports bags are more compact, often feature a wet or shoe compartment, and are designed for quick switching between training and everyday use. Travel bags usually have more volume, longer carrying straps and are optimised for multi-day use. For active holidays with sports equipment, a travel bag with sports bag features is the best choice.
