These bags are characterized by their cylindrical shapes and with main openings on top. Most have stereotyped it as a woman's handbag, but a duffel bag has turned into a more convenient bag for all ages and gender performing a variety of use.

They are usually made of thick fabric. Some come in leather while others are made of canvas and plastic type of material with nylon interiors like most. With leather material, you can either use it for a professional or a casual look. Leather material is also easy to maintain and can also come in different colors like olive brown, black and Tuscan red. You better check the lining as well and the weight capacity of the bag especially if you are planning to load it with some small but heavy exercise equipment.
