L.L.Bean Rolling Adventure Duffel
There’s a reason why 5.5 million of these rugged duffles have been sold: They’re virtually indestructible. To wit, they were tested to be water resistant at 120 PSI (the same strength as a commercial firehose) for up to 60 seconds, and the backing was even put in a deep freeze for 24 hours to make sure it didn’t crack or flake. Bottom line: Your kid is no match for it. Plus, it’s the perfect hybrid of soft-sided duffel and rolling luggage—an interior toboggan bottom prevents it from sagging, while the extra-long zipper on top allows for easy access to anything inside.
