TRAVEL LOOKS a lot different today than it did before 2020, but that doesn't mean it's come to a full stop. With air travel and road-tripping mostly returning to normal, people are more eager to get out and explore than ever—especially after spending so much time (for the most part) grounded. If you're among the set that's preparing to travel, whether it's a flight, a road trip, or something else you have planned on your calendar, there's no doubt you'll want the best travel bags to help get you there and back.
So we found the best bags—from backpacks, duffel bags, to carry-on luggage—for every traveler. Maybe you need a backpack and a duffel bag for those weekend trips or a quick cross-country, in-person business meetup. Or, if you have a longer trip to look forward to (or you need extra room to bring back any souvenirs), you're looking to upgrade that old worn-out suitcase or briefcase to some newer, larger luggage.
The best travel bags keep everything—and we mean everything—organized. From essential travel documents like your passport and itinerary to your clothes and toiletries, you need a bag that can properly wrangle all your belongings. And, of course, you'll want to make sure they're roomy enough to fit everything you bring (heavy packers, we see you). Whether you opt for a budget-friendly bag that'll suit your travel style or you go big with a luxury option, you can bet these are an investment. After all, these bags will accommodate you for many miles and many years to come. These are the best travel bags for men in 2022.
