What’s the Right Bag Size for a Weekend Trip?
Share
Heading out for a short getaway? Whether it’s a city break, beach trip, or cabin weekend, you don’t want to overpack — or bring the wrong bag. Here’s how to choose the perfect size for your weekend adventure.
Consider the Length and Style of Your Trip
Ask yourself:
- How long is your trip? A true weekend is 2–3 days.
- What kind of activities will you do? Gym clothes? Swimsuits? Hiking boots?
