Best Duffel Bag – 16 luggage options for sailors

• August 22, 2023

We sailors know a thing or two about soft luggage. The best duffel bag though is really a matter of functional practicality fused with personal taste. I've picked out a range of the best duffel bags for sailors from 30L to 130L in this sailing luggage buyers guide.

Packing our bags to go sailing requires a bit of creative space saving and calls into action our best duffel bag for the occasion.

Are we going for a long time offshore or around the cans? Are we carrying a full set of foul weather gear a lifejacket, sailing boots and safety gear? Or are we packing light and carrying some smart clothes for drinks and prize giving at the club after bashing around a regatta course all day? All of these require a different duffel choice.

I carry a 90L Helly Hansen bag with my foul weather gear and lifejacket and then in a smaller 30L Helly Hansen bag I carry my smaller daily essentials.

There’s luggage for every eventuality. Researching it can take hours to trawl through to find the right size and features you want. This buyers guide has a range of duffels starting at 30l and increasing in size to a whopping 130l.

I’ve collated this line-up of top duffels to help you find the best duffel bag for you. Some are classed as waterproof; most are classed as water resistant. There’s always a trade-off. If you want waterproof, it will have fewer pockets and a simpler style to facilitate welded seams. If you go for water resistant, you get plenty more features and facilities because the additional sewn seams allow for more pockets. Most likely a combination of the two will work best.

In this 90l Helly Hansen bag I can fit my asymmetric spinnaker (folded very neatly) plus lifejacket and basic foul weather gear.

Best Duffel bag for sailors – 30L – 40L

Helly Hansen Duffel Bag

Specifications:

– Capacity: 30L

– Dimensions: L 50  H 27  W 27 cm

Reasons to buy:

– Good amount of storage for essentials

– Hardwearing and long lasting

Reasons to avoid:

– Seams aren’t waterproofed so they can’t be exposed to water for a length of time

– Handles are stiff and it can get in the way of straps.

The Helly Hansen 30L duffel is made from a sturdy plastic canvas. so it is water resistant to a degree. Though the seams aren’t waterproofed, so it isn’t advisable to dunk this bag for any length of time. The rucksack straps neatly stow away into the zip flap on top, though this makes it a bit stiff to handle, it does get those straps out of the way, especially when you’re onboard and you want them flailing around. Under the top flap there’s a mesh pocket too. I find this useful to stow my sailing gloves, buff and hat. In the cold the material on this bag can get quite stiff. But, mine has stood the test of time so far, as can be seen in the pics at the top of this buyer’s guide. The purple bag is the earlier model to this one. They’ve improved the bag by adding webbing straps and handles on each end which is handy for strapping it down to stop it flying off a bunk.

Lomo 30L White Holdall Duffel Waterproof Rolltop Dry Bag

– Dimensions: ‎L 52cm H 28cm W 31cm

– It’s a budget-friendly buy

– The duffel bag has good waterproofing

– Would benefit from additional storage compartments

– As the material is thick, the bag can be stiff during the winter months

This 30L dry bag duffel from Lomo is incredibly good value for money. You get fully welded seams and a roll top closure. This gives all the advantages of the wide mouthed duffel with waterproof submergibility.

I personally love a white bag when I’m heading into dark spaces, such as yacht cabins. It means you can see the contents inside your bag more easily. Whilst this duffel doesn’t have the practical additional pockets of the other non-waterproof duffels, the trade-off is worth it if you are planning on going for a wet ride or need to put your luggage where it will get wet. Those of you sailing smaller J boats, I’m looking at you…

The other trade-off with this type of waterproof bag is that by its very nature, to enable toughness and strong welded seams, the material must be a certain thickness. This can make the bag feel quite stiff. Particularly in colder weather. This duffel doesn’t have rucksack style shoulder straps but does have a removable single shoulder strap and plenty of webbing to cinch it tighter and places you can tether it to your bunk to keep it in place. Some folks have used this as a pillow by trapping air inside.

Gill 30L Team Bag

– Dimensions: H 31cm W 52cm D 27cm

– It’s the perfect bag for small voyages

– You can attach parts of your kit to the webbing loops

– It doesn’t have rucksack straps making it harder to spread the weight from the contents of your bag

– The waterproofing isn’t as effective if the roll top isn’t secured correctly

– It’s a small bag – avoid it if travelling on a longer trip

This small holdall from Gill is made from PVC with welded seams and roll top to give a waterproof duffel. It has a removable shoulder strap, but as with the other waterproof bag in this size, it doesn’t have rucksack straps. The roll top keeps a watertight seal and can be used to trap air inside the bag making it buoyant or useful as a pillow.

It features some handy webbing loop handles on each end plus additional webbing loops to attach other bits of kit to. On one side it also had a label window so that you can put your name on it to identify its owner.

The welded PVC is a little stiffer in the cold and can be tougher to handle, but when warm it’s handles very nicely.

Victorinox Touring 2.0 Travel 2in1 Duffel

Victorinox don’t shout very loudly about their luggage. Indeed, if you go to their website, they don’t smother you with sales guff. They let their products talk for themselves.

This premium priced duffel from this Swiss knife maker is every bit as innovative and full of hidden handy bits. You can read what I think about their Skippers knife here

There’s a shoe pocket, lots of organised side pockets, pull out hidden rucksack straps, or a detachable shoulder strap. There’s a waterproof internal document pocket. And, if you’re into personalisation, there’s a little plastic thingyme-jig that can be customised with your own name or message on it that is attached to the bag.

– The side pockets are a bonus as they help you to keep your bag organised

– The rucksack straps will distribute the weight, which is good news for anyone carrying a lot of gear 

– It makes a great gift due to the personalisation

–  It’s expensive

– Capacity 38L

– Dimensions: H 28 cm L 32 cm W 57 cm

– Price: £240

Overboard 100% Waterproof Classic Duffel Bag

A 100% waterproof welded seam duffel bag with roll top closure. Overboard have this rated to IP66 so you can be confident that if you’re luggage is sitting a pool of water in the wet locker of a boat, your kit will still be dry inside. Equally if it gets repeatedly dripped on by a leaking hatch, as long as the top is rolled over correctly and fastened, then your kit will remain dry.

It’s been designed for a bit of rough handling and should stand up well to the rigours of frequent use in wet conditions. Ideal for carrying wet gear back with you too, so if you go open water swimming, surfing, or kayaking and find yourself needing to pack a wetsuit and wet gear, then shove them in this for the journey home and your car will remain dry.

The attachment points on this bag also enable you to strap it down, so it either won’t fly out of a bunk or it will remain strapped to your touring kayak or paddleboard.

– It’s a durable duffel which will stand up against all types of weather

– Good for kayak or paddle boarders due to its excellent waterproof functionality

– With its smaller capacity, we wouldn’t recommend it for longer trips

– Capacity: 40L

– Dimensions: ‎L 52.07cm  H 32cm  W 23.11cm

– Price: £55.99

Best Duffel Bag for Sailors 40L – 65L

Helly Hansen Offshore Waterproof Duffel bag, 50L

Helly Hansen do a fair range of waterproof kit bags. This middle of the size range duffel is a waterproof version with welded seams and a roll top.

It can sit in pools of water all day and your kit will stay dry.

They suggest it can be strapped to a car top and it remain waterproof too, though I haven’t tried this so can’t verify whether kit will stray dry with rain pelting it at 70mph on a motorway.

As per other welded waterproof bags, this one isn’t designed to be fully submersible but it is as waterproof as you can get without full dunking.

It has end handles which are useful for strapping the bag down, but very few other bells or whistles.

There’s no rucksack straps with this, but there is a removable shoulder strap.

– Lots of room to put your gear in

– You can load and unload the bag effortlessly

– The duffel doesn’t guarantee complete protection if submerged in water

– Some compartments would be beneficial for storing smaller tools and essentials

– Capacity: 50L

– Dimensions: length:28.0cm x width:64.0cm x depth:28.0cm

– Price: £120

Red Original Kit Bag

If you watch the Red marketing hype you’d think this bag will make you a paddleboard, camping and hiking expert and all round wilderness guru.

In this bag we are given a waterproof zip closure rather than the roll top of other 100% waterproof bags. It has welded seams as the others do, but it is made from a slightly lighter weight material.

It has a waterproof padded mat inside it which can be removed and used as a changing mat to stand on.

The Red Equipment bag has a range of strap options, including rucksack straps and shoulder strap.

There’s some mild eco credentials on this as it is made from recycled TPU. Though I guess those credentials need thoroughly scrutinising as who knows where this bag was made and how many air miles it took to get to you.

The bag does pack some seriously good organisation and innovation though, with high quality components used and sturdy long lasting fasteners.

– If you’re looking for a lighter option, this is the duffel bag for you

– Made from recycled TPU

– Plenty of storage for a first aid kit, towel and more

– It’s easy to forget to pack the waterproof padded mat

– The duffel has a waterproof zip closure rather than roll top

Specifications: 

– Capacity: 60L

– Dimensions:  L76.5cm  W33cm  H29.5cm

– Price: £149.95

Typhoon Osea Dry Duffel Pack 60L

The Typhoon Osea Dry Duffel is made from 500D tarp which is 100% waterproof.

This roll top bag is 100% waterproof and comes with removable rucksack straps as well as waist straps, which is very handy in any rucksack with a larger capacity.

This duffel also comes with an unusual buckle attached to a chest strap that has a built-in whistle. This is a nod towards Typhoons origins as a commercial safety gear manufacturer.

A feature I really like on this duffel is a compression valve, which means you can sit on this bag and squash the air out of it, close off the valve and you’ve saved a ton of space in the cabin.

I like the understated functionality of this bag and whilst it doesn’t shout style appeal, it really is a great duffel for keeping your kit dry, or for keeping your wet kit from leaking all over the place.

– Good value for money

– Excellent waterproofing thanks to the 500D tarp and roll top functionality

– Along with the rucksack straps, the waist straps transfer the weight from your back to your hips

– Not the most stylish duffel on this list

– Capacity: 40L or 60L

– Dimension: TBC

– Price: £73

Lomo Blaze Expedition

This Lomo orange duffel is made from waterproof material with welded seams on the sides. This means the bag can sit in a pool of water without letting any in.

It isn’t submersible though as this has a zipped closure on a large top flap. There’s a mesh pocket inside and some useful webbing loops externally mounted for clipping on gear.

The duffel is fitted with a strong D shaped dual zip closure and bungee loops for strapping the bag down. Excellent value for money this bag has decent capacity and there’s a huge range of complimentary other dry bags and pouches available from this Scottish based manufacturer. They keep their prices lower by cutting out the middle-seller and they sell direct to customer using popular platforms such as Amazon and Ebay and their own website.

– This duffel is good option if you’re on a budget

– It has bungee loops to help you secure your bag

– You can fit plenty of essentials in it thanks to its large capacity 

– Not fully submersible with its waterproofing

– Dimensions: ‎L 64 x H 34 x  W 34 cm

Lomo Dry Bag Duffel

This 60L dry bag duffel from Lomo is incredibly good value for money. You get fully welded seams and a roll top closure. This gives all the advantages of the wide mouthed duffel with waterproof submergibility. It’s the larger version of the one I featured at the top of this buyer’s guide.

I love a brightly coloured bag, as they cheer up dark spaces, such as windless yacht cabins. they also allow you to see the contents within your bag more easily. Whilst this duffel doesn’t have the practical additional pockets of the other non-waterproof duffels, the trade-off is worth it if you are planning on going for a wet ride or need to put your luggage where it will get wet.

The other trade-off with this type of waterproof bag is that by its very nature, to enable toughness and strong welded seams, the material must be a certain thickness. his can make the bag feel quite stiff. Particularly in colder weather. This duffel doesn’t have rucksack style shoulder straps but does have a removable single shoulder strap and plenty of webbing to cinch it tighter and places you can tether it to your bunk to keep it in place.

– Bright design makes the bag easier to locate

– Good waterproofing for a budget duffel

– It doesn’t feature any additional compartments for essentials

Zhik Holdall

You can trust Zhik to make something that looks sporty even when it’s designed to hold your sweaty salt encrusted clothes.

Made from 600 denier fabric, this bag has a softer handle or feel than the PVC welded waterproof bags I’ve featured elsewhere in this buyer’s guide. If ever I have the choice, if I am sailing on a less sporty, less dunking wet boat, I will always choose the softer feeling bag as it’s nicer to deal with in my cabin.

This duffel from Zhik has those stowable rucksack straps as many others have in this best duffel bag buyers guide making it easy to schlepp your gear from shore to ship and back again.

Due to its construction this bag can be described as water resistant but not waterproof. It can deal with a bit of spray and a bit of errant water, but you won’t want to leave it in a pool of water festering away.

The base has anti slip, which is great if you have this resting on a bunk or other dry surface and want it to stay put.

There’s also organisational pockets and zipped areas to help keep smaller things where you can find them easily.

– Easier to carry than other options on this list as it has a lighter denier fabric material

– The pockets and zipped areas are great for storing belongings you’ll need

– It’s not waterproof, meaning the contents will get wet if it falls into the water

– Capacity: 65L

– Dimensions: L 59cm H 31cm W 31cm

Best Duffel Bag for sailors 90L -130L

HH Duffel Bag 2

This Helly Hansen 90 Litre duffel offers versatility and conversion between bag and backpack as per the smaller model I introduced at the top of this buyer’s guide. The material is hardwearing and waterproof, though as per the others in this range, it isn’t 100% waterproof as the seams aren’t welded.

This allows for an internal and external pocket and this model also comes with a pack away bag that can be used for other things when the bag is out. I use this bag for flying with a lot of kit, as seen in the image at the top, in the white version. I’m not sure if they sell white ones anymore. I’ve manged to get most of my foul weather gear plus a very neatly folded asymmetrical spinnaker for a 36 foot yacht in this bag. My back did not approve of the weight though. Beware of overloading large bags and doing your back in.

– Large storage capability

– Good design and is very versatile

– It’s not 100% waterproof

– Heavy to carry and doesn’t have additional straps to distribute weight

– Capacity: 90L

– Dimensions: length:40.0cm x width:64.0cm x depth:28.0cm

– Price: £110

Gill Rolling Cargo Bag

I had to include on wheeled duffel in this buyer’s guide, but I have to confess to you, that if someone turns up to my boat with a duffel on wheels, I will make them sleep with it in their bunk. I have a personal apoplexy every time I head wheeled bags being pulled along a pontoon and the noise they make is particularly unsociable when flying in or out during the small hours. Having got that off my chest, I will contradict myself entirely by saying this is an excellent bag!

It has a padded shoulder strap, some sturdy handles and a huge zip opening to access kit through. There are webbing loops on the sides and all manner of organisational pockets internally and at one end externally.

Whilst the material is waterproof, the construction is not, so it will withstand a bit of rain and spray, but it shouldn’t be left sitting in pools of water.

It has good handles on each end too, so passing this bag up and over a rail to a fellow crew mate or skipper is easy.

– Instead of carrying the duffel, you can wheel it on your boat 

– Excellent features such as a large zip opening and sturdy handles

– Not fully waterproof. It will only protect against a small amount of spray

• Capacity: 90L
• Dimensions: TBC
• Price: £135

Musto ESSENTIAL DUFFEL BAG

Made from water resistant and durable nylon diamond ripstop shell with 600D TPU base, this extra-large bag will fit a fair amount of bulky kit and still squash down quite small when it’s empty.

It has stowable backpack straps to help you haul this beast around too.

The end pocket is a zipped section where you can shove some wet shoes or kit.

There’s an additional zipped exterior pocket to the side. The structured ends help the bag to maintain its shape as with some of the larger bags they can go wildly misshapen when half filled, making them hard to zip and unzip.

– It’s a large bag that a lot of tools and essentials will fit in

– Easy to store away in a cabin when the duffel is empty 

– Although water resistant, the contents will get wet if submerged

– Dimensions: TBC

Crewsaver Crew Holdall

The Crewsaver holdall or duffel is made from an abrasion resistant nylon type of material. Unlike so many of the others in this best duffel bag buyers guide, this one doesn’t have the cold plastic outer feel.

It isn’t 100% waterproof but it is water resistant so you can get rained on or place it on a wet deck while you transfer it from shore to ship or ship to shore.

This holdall is a simple but functional design that packs down very small when empty.

The end pocket is semi translucent so you can see the outline of stuff in there. It comes a range of sizes too.

– Bight design with lots of functional features

– The bag comes in a variety of sizes

– The bag will keep your kit dry from rain, but not if it gets submerged

– Capacity and dimensions: 55 Ltr – L61  H30  W30cm, 75 Ltr – L61.5  H35  W35cm or 100 Ltr L62  H40  W40cm

Thule Chasm Sport Duffel Bag

Seriously huge, they named this bag Chasm. I can’t help but snigger at that name, but I’m a puerile eejit. So, Thule, they do luggage for the top of cars and roof racks right? Yes, and they do some great duffels too.

The top flap on this is huge. It not only opens the top, but down the side too. This makes fitting and finding bulky sailing gear a doddle.

As with most of the duffels I’ve chosen to show you, this one also converts to a rucksack. Though given the size of it, if you really do stuff this thing full to capacity, your spine might need a bit of a decompression after hauling this load around.

Internally it has mesh pockets to help with organisation and externally it has compression straps to help keep the bag snuggly fastened and not flopping around if it is only half filled.

The bag has a carry case pouch which it folds down to fit into for storage, but the pouch can be used too, such as for your dirty undies or other kit.

‍ Top 13 Best Sailing Duffel Bags

The best sailing bag should cover a lot of bases in terms of its usefulness at sea, meaning it has to at least be waterproof. Having a waterproof sailing bag seems like a no-brainer, especially with ocean spray or inclement weather.

You also want a lightweight duffel that might potentially have a zippered pocket to help keep your goods in. In addition, shoulder straps or compression straps can make carrying a little easier when transporting.

Lomo Waterproof Bag 30L

The Lomo 30L waterproof dry bag offers a good value for the price and quality of the product you receive. It showcases welded seams and a closable wide mouth that allows you to fill with all your gear but keep it dry from the elements.

It may seem a little stiff when in colder elements due to the material used for waterproofing. IT also comes with one removable shoulder strap to help with carrying around.

• Thick material becomes stiff in colder weather

Helly Hansen Sailing Bag 50L

The Helly Hansen offshore 50L bag is a good option for the best sailing bags on the market. These claim to also be capable of strapping to a cartop and remain waterproof, but you will likely need to test that out for yourself.

When sailing, they can withstand a ton of water thrown at it but do not fully submerge. The welded seams are great but will take on water if left for longer periods of time.

• Plenty of room for storage inside
• Easy to carry and store gear
• Not fully submersible

Typhoon Dry Duffel 60L

The Typhoon 60L , referred to as the Osea Dry Duffel, is 100 percent waterproof due to the 500D tarp material that they used to construct it. The removable shoulder straps allow it to be used as a backpack or carry around hand.

The durable material is great but you will not see a lot of external pockets. However, you can save a lot of space when storing since you can close the bag and squeeze air out of it with the release from a valve.

• 100 percent waterproof
• Large bag to hold many gear or other items
• Is not eye catching

Red Original Sailing Kit Bag

The Red Original Kit Bag comes in various sizes to meet your storage needs. The waterproof capability is tested with welded seams and a waterproof zip rather than a roll top closure.

It features various straps to carry depending on the size you are considering. It remains as a bag suitable for those seeking a valuable option that does not break the bank.

• Lighter and more compact options
• Made with recycled materials
• Waterproof zip might not be as appealing as the roll top closure

Lomo Dry Bag 60L

Lomo continues to offer appealing options for your sailing goals, such as their Dry Bag 60L offering. They do a great job at keeping your gear dry, with welded seams and a roll top closure that can be submerged for a short period of time.

While there are not any external pockets, you trade that in for a reliable waterproof bag for the event you are going to experience a wet ride or have to store your bag in a place where water is constantly hitting it. The bag might be a little stiff in colder weather, as the material stiffens when cold.

• Great waterproof bag for your budget
• Bright color for easy spotting
• No external pockets

Helly Hansen Sailing Bag 90L

The Helly Hansen 90L offers users versatility with different strap features to wear as a backpack or carry by hand. It is not fully waterproof since the seams are not welded, but still serves as a quality bag to fit all of your essentials.

While it has a lot of room to pack everything, keep in mind the weight. Your back will thank you later if you manage to keep things light.

• Might become quite heavy and not waterproof

Zhik 45L Submersible

This Zhik 45L waterproof bag offers one of the best dry bags on the market. It is sporty and can handle a large amount of your gear to be safe from water.

It even has a section in the bag to separate wet and dry gear to keep them from all touching one another. It is built for longevity and is rugged to withstand harsh conditions at sea.

• Might be too expensive compared to other options with less features

Gill Rolling Duffels

Gill makes one of the best rolling duffels you could ask for that is water resistant. It includes a padded shoulder strap in the event you need to carry it and has a large opening zip to make it easy to grab things or store quickly.

Keep in mind that this is not a full waterproof bag, as the material will seep in water if left in puddles or in the rain for long periods of time. The wheels make this an appealing option if you have it weighed down.

• Has wheels for easy transport
• Strong handles and large opening
• Only protects from some water spray

Musto Essential Water Resistant Bag

Musto has a convenient dry bag to help keep your gear safe from the elements while sailing. It is not entirely waterproof, but water resistant to handle ocean spray and light rain.

Their padded shoulder straps make it comfortable to haul when not in storage and are great for travel bags with an external pocket. The material maintains its shape no matter what you have inside or if you do not have it full.

• Keeps shape no matter what is in it
• Great for a carry on bag or day trips
• Will soak inside if it is submerged

Thule Chasm Sport Bag 130L

The Thule Chasm is an appealing option for those that need to pack a lot of gear at a good price but do not need it fully waterproof. It comes in four different sizes, ranging up to 130L.

If you decide to go for the larger options since they are somewhat cheaper than other brands, it is easy to overstuff them and you will not like carrying around the extra weight. Keep in mind that it is not waterproof, so some ocean spray is about all the water it can take at a time.

• Various sizes to accommodate needs
• Durable materials to help keep shape
• Is not completely waterproof

Victorinox Touring 2.0

Victorinox has one of the more expensive sailing bags on the market for a 38L option. The bag is just as appealing as a swiss army knife, in that it can handle a variety of needs for storing gear or other items.

It does not have internal pockets to store smaller items like a phone or watch for easy access. However, it keeps your essentials dry, has a stylish design, and is perfect for a weekend getaway.

Overboard Duffel Bag Classic

It is hard to beat the Overboard Classic duffel bag if you are wanting something rugged to handle the outdoor elements and to last a lifetime. It has a waterproof rating of IP66, making it a tough egg to crack.

You can even convert it to a backpack if you need to take your adventure on a dinghy or kayaking. It also is moderately priced for being such a large bag with durable features.

• Great price for all features included
• Can handle all elements and can survive being submerged
• Might be too heavy for the larger bag option

How to Find the Best Sailing Bags

The best sailing bags will vary based on your sailing goals and what you plan to do on the trip. There are many questions to consider before purchasing the best sailing bag for you and it will play a role in how you use them.

Are you sailing for the weekend or longer? Do you need safety gear or other items for harsh conditions? Is this just a one day event and you need dry clothes?

All of those questions will lead to different bag types needed, as you do not need a heavy duty 130L dry bag for just one day of racing. Below you can see which bag might be best for you depending on your needs.

Waterproof Bags

A waterproof sailing bag is ideal when you are going to be stuck in the elements, have nowhere to place your bag except in direct water exposure, and is best for long periods of time near the water. It makes sense that if you are traveling on a body of water to have a bag that is going to resist getting wet.

Water resistant is the bare minimum, but having a waterproof bag is best. If your sailing goal is to go offshore for a few days, you may want waterproof bags, whereas one trip near the coast on a nice day might just need a water resistant bag.

In addition to waterproofing, you need to consider what sized bag you will need to handle your gear. Weekend trips will likely need a medium sized bag, while day sailing can require a smaller one.

If you are planning a trip that will last a week or longer, you may want to bring a 130L or several smaller ones to accommodate your traveling needs. This also makes sense if you are needing to pack extra gear for bad weather or need to pack safety essentials.

The price of each bag is going to vary widely depending on brand, materials, and their intended use. This is why it is important to narrow down your sailing goals to see which bag fits your daily activities.

Some bags hover near $60, while others can be over $400. The size of the bags usually make the most difference in price since more materials are used, but others in similar size might cost significantly more if one is waterproof and the other is not.
