The Joy of Weekender Backpacks.

Traveling for a long weekend and only need to bring your essentials? A weekender backpack is the practical, yet stylish choice. It allows you to stay mobile while also providing the space you need to bring a fresh outfit, toiletries, and other essentials on your weekend getaway.

Looking for the Best Weekender Backpack? Consider this.
  • Features: Slots and pockets are great for organizing, but one shouldn’t overdo it. Too many knickknacks can compromise the function.   
  • Quality: High quality goes hand in hand with durability. It should withstand time, being shuffled in overhead compartments, packed up and out, and used in various weather conditions. 
  • Size and weight: You want to fit the necessities, but not be too bulky. A 35L backpack is perhaps the ideal choice, checking both boxes.   
  • Flexibility: The weekender backpack should be organized for your comfort and your journey.  
The Hugger Weekender Backpack.

A staple in the Db lineup, the Hugger Backpack series is designed for improved comfort. They keep their shape while protecting everything you bring onboard, regardless of transportation.  

Both models offer the signature Db rib-cage construction, intelligent pocket placement, and a protective laptop compartment that makes airport security smooth. 

Organize your Hugger. 

We offer an organizer for the backpack, doubling down on our goal to accommodate seamless, practical, and stylish travel gear. Our Hugger Organizer allows you to customize your 25L or 30L Hugger weekender backpack with slots and pockets. 

The Roamer Weekender Backpack.

The Roamer Duffel Pack is Db’s modern interpretation of the classic adventure bag – but sized for cabin travel. The full-open main compartment makes packing effortless, while ergonomic straps transform it from a duffel into a backpack in seconds. 

Compact and sleek, the Roamer is perfect for weekend trips when you want maximum flexibility. 360° grab handles mean it’s always ready when you need to move fast. 

Packing Light for the Journey.

We know that backpack packing isn’t for everyone. Many equate backpacks with ease, but maybe not organization. That’s why we want to advocate for packing cubes. Whether the weekender backpack of your choice has internal pockets or not, packing cubes are a real gem for organizational enthusiasts or those of you who want to maximize the space in your backpack. A 35L backpack can fit two, maybe three packing cubes that you can fill with clothing and underwear seamlessly and functionally. 

Travel With Your Backpack.

Whether you’re traveling by train or airplane, the weekender backpack can be your exclusive travel companion. With enough space and the practicality of its compartments, the backpack is big enough for you to follow the 3-3-3 packing principle while also fitting comfortably onto your back when you move from A to B.  

Traveling for a longer time but still want to pack compactly? Consider our range of carry-on backpacks that fit a bit more.  

Your Questions Answered.

Weekender backpacks.

Why is it called a weekender backpack?

The name of a weekender bag or backpack stems from post-World War II when middle and upper classes began to travel leisurely and went on shorter weekend getaways.

Do weekender backpacks count as carry-on?

Weekender bags or backpacks generally count as carry-on luggage, meaning that they fit in the over-head compartment without a problem. Some airlines have specific requirements for carry-on luggage, so you should always check their size limits before going on your journey. 

Which bag is best for a 3 day trip?

For a three day trip, or a weekend getaway, a backpack with a capacity of 30L to 45L should be ideal. Depending on whether you’re a minimalist or maximalist packer, it should fit your basic clothing, toiletries, and extra books, electronics, and travel essentials.

What is the 3-3-3 packing rule?

The 3-3-3 packing rule is a strategy where you pack 3 tops, 3 bottoms, and 3 pairs of shoes. Minimal in its actual items, it’s a way for you to maximize the potential of the items you bring. You can create up to 27 different outfit combinations with these nine items. If you want to cut down on the bulky items (i.e. the shoes), you can add a few extra versatile tops or bottoms instead.
