What Is A Duffel Bag

A large bag of natural or synthetic fabric (usually canvas), historically with the use of a top closure strap. Usually, duffel bags are used for travel, sports, and entertainment. When used by sailors or marines, luggage is called a sea bag. The open structure and lack of rigidity of the luggage compartment make it suitable for carrying sports equipment and similar bulky items.

Luggage bags are often confused with hard-bottomed zipper bags treated with iron rings, often referred to as fitness bags.
