India, Nov. 22 -- I spend a fair bit of time looking at travel gear, and there is something satisfying about a good carry-on duffel bag. It sets the tone for a short trip with its light structure and roomy layout. Amazon has become a treasure box of practical options, and some of the best duffel bag choices sit right there, quietly collecting thousands of loyal fans.

I have sifted through the most loved designs and picked eight that feel right for quick breaks, airport comfort and even a duffel bag for weekend travel. Each one has a mix of comfort, easy access and a look that feels current. If you have been searching for the best carry-on duffel bag, this list should help you find a match.

This compact duffel feels handy for short trips...
