Sailor's bag 1 to 30L

The duffel bag, essential for leisure days at the water's edge

The duffel bag is the marine fashion accessory that you must have with you to carry your things in all simplicity during the summer season. To take with you all the things you need for a leisurely cruise, a day at the beach or an afternoon stroll along the seashore, the duffel bag is an essential accessory. However, you will need to carefully choose the features and type of carry you prefer to carry the essentials of your personal belongings, always in style. The duffel bag is a true invitation to travel. It has reinvented itself to cross time and eras. A timeless product, it inspires you to go on a boat trip and to hoist the mainsail. Carried on the shoulder, with a volume in liters and a central pocket, the boat bag follows you on your next adventure. The duffel bag format exists today in so many colors and shapes that you will inevitably find the one that best suits your desires. Some fans of the product even collect them.

When we think of a duffel bag, we often think of a simple blue and white or red striped fabric or cotton canvas bag with a brass buckle. Even if the cliché persists, this iconic model, perfect accessory for the sailor, has come a long way. It now has new dimensions, width, height and diameter. Its volume has slightly increased to be even more practical. Its fabric or cotton canvas ensures it is still as solid as before. However, a duffel bag is not a waterproof bag. Its construction in canvas, fabric or cotton does not allow it to be perfectly waterproof. A classic duffel bag will generally be waterproof or even water-repellent. A fabric bag of this type will not resist to an immersion for example. Its closing method with cord or leather band with brass buckle are not made for this kind of use.

Duffel bag: everyday accessory

The duffel bag was designed to accompany you on your daily travels or during a short trip, not to be completely waterproof. It can withstand a light shower or a few splashes of water on board the boat. On the other hand, a leather model with a lining can offer better protection than a classic cotton or fabric duffel bag. Leather is a darker color than the ones usually used. Black duffel bags are rare. We generally find colors from the world of sailing, such as red, blue or white.

A duffel bag will be used mainly as an extra bag. Thanks to its central pocket, you will be able to slip in various accessories, such as your blue card, light jacket, cell phone or set of keys. It is the ideal companion for a trip or short stay. In a smaller format, it can be used as a toiletry kit or first aid kit. You can use your duffel bag as a sports or beach bag, for example. Its size, or volume in liters, is enough to carry with you towel, shoes for sports and light clothing.

The different types of marine bags and manufacturers

Among the most common types of marine bags, you will find bags with handles, which you must carry at arm's length. These bags are perfect if you have a short distance to travel. Even if you have the possibility to carry it on your shoulder, you should not be too loaded. You can also opt for a duffel bag with a shoulder strap, for example, which will allow you to carry your things more easily. If you have a long way to go to the beach or to the harbor, this type of duffel bag should suit you perfectly. Indeed, the shoulder strap makes it easier to carry your stuff on your shoulder without hurting your back. And because design is important, all you have to do is choose the color, size and style that you like for your trip.

The 727 Sailbags brand manufactures sailboat bags. Each sail bag is unique because it is made from recycled sail. The canvas of the bag has a worn look to it, because each sail comes from a boat that has sailed. This sailcloth is very resistant to water and treated for more solidity than a classic canvas or cotton duffel bag. It is made in the same way as elsewhere, with a zipper closure or a drawstring in leather or fabric for the central pocket. The shoulder strap with lining for more comfort is also part of the bag.

With its Breton drytube waterproof bag, the Feelfree brand stands out from the crowd and offers a real dry bag model in a style comparable to the standard marine bag. Specialist in the field, Feelfree stands out here with a real waterproof bag in duffel bag format that can be found on the decks of every boat in Brittany. It is in the same color as the Breton flag, black and white. The waterproofness of the feelfree dry bag is ensured by the rolling closure and by its composition in Tarpaulin Premium, different from the canvas or cotton bag.
