Which Red Bag Is The Best Weekender Travel Bag?

This time of year is the perfect opportunity to get out on the water at the weekend and explore both new places as well as your family's favourite spots. Whether you’re part of a yacht club, entertaining friends, or taking the grandchildren on their first maritime adventure, being out and about over multiple days requires reliable outdoor equipment to keep you going on your travels. A reliable, spacious and durable weekender travel bag is a must-have - and it’s important to pick one that matches your lifestyle and plans.

Here at Red Equipment, we believe that life is better by the water and we’re proud to stock a wide range of high-quality outdoor bags to elevate your experience. As you’re gearing up for your boating and water-based adventures, the following bags stand out as top contenders for the best weekender travel bag.

Waterproof Kit Bag

If you’re hitting the water with the whole family or incapable of packing light, our waterproof kit bags are the ultimate companion for your trips away. While they may look like a classic weekender duffel bag style, these innovative bags are incredibly tough and designed to be 100% waterproof with welded seams and airtight and watertight pockets. This means that your boating belongings are certain to stay dry - no matter the sea conditions. 

You can also count on this bag if your adventures take you and your family back to shore. The clever design includes ergonomic, reinforced airflow straps to pop your gear comfortably on your back, as well as a built-in wipe-clean padded change mat for getting boat-ready after time paddleboarding or swimming in the ocean. The 90l version will offer ample storage for all of your supplies for the whole weekend, with room for toys for the kids or even a small picnic set.

Adventure Waterproof Backpack 

Sometimes a more compact solution is all you need to store your essentials. This is where our adventure waterproof backpack is the best weekender travel bag, offering a sleek and practical option for keeping your gear secure and dry during a quick cruise or shore excursion. Made from highly durable Armour Tech fabric, this backpack offers a completely waterproof and functional way of storing everything you need for your time on the water, including spare clothing, sunscreen and your valuables. 

Our adventure waterproof backpack is also designed to offer unrivalled comfort whether you’re walking along the dock or heading for a spot of lunch, thanks to its super-comfy foam shoulder straps and breathable, ergonomic back panel. The reinforced base also adds extra durability if you set your belongings down on the deck or the shore.

Waterproof Tote Bag

For lighter loads, our waterproof tote bag is a stylish but practical companion for your weekend travels. With a 33-litre capacity, it strikes the perfect balance between space and portability with plenty of room for all of your essentials and a change of clothes. The bag itself is constructed from practically indestructible nylon, but it’s still incredibly lightweight and easy to stow away when you’re sailing or swimming. 

Another feature that makes this one of the best weekend travel bags is the TPU coating, which is wipe-clean and resistant to oil and mould. This means you need not worry about wear and tear from being on the water for some time - or mess from the kids! Your travel bag will stand the test of time.

So, whether you need a spacious all-weather travel bag or a lightweight functional storage solution, we’ve got you covered. Heading off on an adventure this summer?
