Dagne Dover Landon Carryall Large

The softest-looking bag here and the easiest to dress up or down. The shell is neoprene, and it arrives with a separate shoe bag and a zip-top pouch, so the shoe problem is solved without a built-in compartment eating into the main space. Inside is a padded laptop sleeve, and a trolley sleeve on the back slips over a roller handle. At 16.5 inches long and about 29 liters it is the most compact of the full-size weekenders here, and retailers list its empty weight at between 2 and 3 pounds. The trade-off is structure: a soft neoprene body follows what you pack rather than holding a crisp, boxy shape.
