We don’t often brag about travel pouches, but this matching set of (3), in stylish black with red accents, is about the nicest set of travel pouches we’ve come across. You’ll get (1) at 10" x 7", (1) at 12" x 8", and (1) at 14" x 10", each with a durable poly exterior, waterproof silver lining and sturdy oversized red zipper. Each bag has a grommeted hole in one corner so you can store them on the included 2” dia ring. The uses are so obvious and endless it’s not even worth mentioning a few of them.

Both spellings are acceptable, it turns out, but duffle is a British corruption of our duffel, so pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and spell it “duffel” like an American. Our duffel is polyester with black handles and an adjustable and removable black shoulder strap. Measures 18” long x an 11” dia cylinder, and has black canvas strap handles on both ends for your hanging and toting convenience. Everybody needs a good duffel, even the Brits. Comes in Red (a favorite of the Brits), or Blue (a close second). We'll pick which you get because thats how surplus is.

Let’s say you don’t need a full-on, heavy-duty tool bag but you do need something to hold your smaller hobby tools. In that case, you’d need this super-nice, zippered tool-type bag. Measures 14" x 9-1/2" x 3", and has a triangular shape as it tapers from the 3" base to flat at the top zipper. Looks kind of like a small briefcase, or, more accurately, an attache. Has more than (15) elastic straps to hold things like pliers, tweezers, small screwdrivers and the like. In bad-to-the-bone black to let the world know you’re serious about tool storage and totage, even if they’re small tools.

Laundry stinks. It’s also a job we dislike. But back to that stench. This white mesh bag, approx 18" x 12", has a way of dispersing the stinkiness of our laundry, which makes the whole job less stinky in more ways than one. Has a drawstring with a ball stopper. Made of polyester, which means it’s strong enough to hold a big load of clothing or beach toys, shoes (which can also be stinky in our experience), or sports equipment.

These red satin-finish zipper bags have a vinyl interior and measure 20” long x 10” tall x 4” wide when you open the gusset on the bottom. Sort of the proportions of a giant pencil holder. Made for some specific purpose that nobody has shared with us, but think giant clutch bags, travel organizers, dressy briefcases or cash deposit bags to impress your bank. 

They may move your cheese, but the rest of your lunch should be safe when you tote it in this insulated white bag with “HUMAN ORGAN FOR TRANSPLANT” printed on the side. Measures approx 9-1/2" wide x 7” tall x 6" deep with a padded handle and a zipper around three sides on the top. Has a small mesh pocket and organ-donor information card inside. Our favorite part? The bottom says “Warning; not for transporting human organs” because you can't be too careful.

We walked to and from school, uphill in both directions, carrying our books and a brown paper bag of lunch that got wet when it rained and snowed, which was every day. You have it easy these days with collapsible nylon lunch bags like these. In purple or orange, the 9” x 6” x 6” bags have black trim, a zipper, a handle and a 4” x 7” pouch on the front.

This sturdy messenger bag from Wanderer Tech is made of durable black 1680 denier ballistic nylon with royal blue piping. Measures approx 15" x 12" x 3" when empty, but is eminently stuffable. Has an adjustable padded shoulder strap, front flap with hookenlooper closures, zipper compartment on the flap, (2) side mesh pockets, pen slots and a pocket inside, along with a 15” a 10-1/2” removable, padded laptop sleeve.

In soft poly-foam and a pretty powder blue color, we think this case was made for standard smart phones, although goodness knows you could keep any number of things in it. (Badness probably knows that, too.) Measuring 6” x 3-1/2” x approx 3/8”, it has a slot with black piping 1-1/2” from the top, and a small tab at the top corner with a removable, silver carabiner on it.

You might need this “LAUNDRY” hamper to get your duds off the floor. Measures approx 20” tall x 13” x 9-1/2” and it’s flexible and foldable, just like your clothes. We have black and silver, and we’ll pick a nice one that goes with your detergent. Has aluminum handles and that ever-reminding “LAUNDRY” on the side, just to help you get in the habit of putting dirty clothes in it instead of hanging them over the back of your chair. Because of its size, it’s not going to hold a ton of laundry, but it’s great for small loads, and also great for groceries and other reusable-bag situations.
