Within Equipment > Travel bags > Travelbags, the 50L category focuses on versatile luggage sized for short journeys and streamlined packing. Here you will find a wide assortment suited to city breaks, outdoor weekends and carry-light work travel.

A 50L interior typically fits clothing for three to five days, a spare pair of shoes, compact toiletries and accessories. It leaves space for a jacket or small tech kit, while remaining manageable on trains, buses and sidewalks.

Common 50L formats include wheeled travelbags for smooth floors and longer walks, classic duffel bags for simple, flexible packing, and travel backpacks when hands-free carry matters. Choose based on route, surfaces and how much time the bag will be carried.

Look for durable fabrics such as recycled polyester, polyamide/nylon or canvas blends, with reinforced panels and quality stitching. Water-repellent coatings and quality zippers help protect contents in light rain; for heavy weather, consider a separate rain cover or liner.

Smart organization in 50L helps keep packing efficient: U-shaped openings for quick access, internal mesh dividers, end pockets for shoes, and compression straps to reduce bulk. External lash points can secure an extra layer or lightweight gear when needed.

Carrying comfort comes from well-padded shoulder straps or a removable strap on duffels, balanced wheel housings on rollers, and, for backpack-style 50L, a ventilated back panel with stabilizing hip and sternum straps.

Many 50L travel bags exceed strict cabin baggage limits once fully packed. If cabin use is essential, check current airline size rules. For checked luggage, sturdy handles, lockable zippers and a luggage tag window are useful.

Choose 50L when a 30–40L carry would be too tight, but 70L+ expedition volumes are unnecessary. It suits minimalists for a week, or a typical packer for a long weekend, depending on season and gear.

OutdoorXL offers extensive choice across 50L Travel bags and Travelbags, including different carry styles, materials and layouts. Use filters to compare weight, dimensions and features, then select the build that matches the trip and packing style.
