Sometimes you're called upon for a quick weekend mission...be it a quick show in the bay area or a mediation between Yakuza bosses in Japan. Either way, you want to have the right way to pack and transport your clothes, writing materials, computers, and tantos.
These six bags might be up to the challenge.
Rugged
Aussie Bag ($59.99) | buy
A good water-resistant duffel. Black for a low-pro appearence-- we wouldn't want the doorman at the Zaibatsu headquarters remembering you by your hipster limited edition Jordan bag with the elephant skin and pretentious coffee colorway...would you? And take that hat off you look like an idiot.

Everest 20" Sport Gear Bag ($20.30) | buy
A sportier bag that wins the award for cheapest. This is the type of bag you can "lose" or ruin and not feel to bad about since it comes in at around $20. Note: this bag isn't waterproof...make sure that if the bag is in the process of being "lost" or ruined, that there is nothing inside the bag that you are particularly attached to.

Stylish
Cenzo Vecchio Italian Weekender ($199.00) | buy
For the price, you really get some plushness. This weekend bag can fit about 1-3 days worth of supplies and has a really smooth, coffee/brownie mix color-- nicely offset by the brass hardware. A good investment since with proper care, leather bags can last a long time.

Colby Canvas Duffel Bag ($99.00) | buy

- Trimmed with faux leather.
- Features a removable shoulder strap, 2 zippered outside pockets and a nylon-lined central compartment with 3 inside pockets (1 is zippered).
- Monogramming is available for an additional $6.50.
- Imported.
Brumby Duffel Bag ($89.95) | buy
The bare bones Brumby Bag. Another canvas bag...I like canvas duffels. This one is a cheap, durable, and classy. This is a lot better than the busted Bad Boy Club bag you still have from the 90's with the rainbow sherbert colorway (and it's too dirty to be ironic...hipsters).
Specs:
Whether you're in need of a utilitarian bag or a more stylish alternative, these bags your ones. All the rugged bags fall under the $60 mark while the stylish bags all full under the $200 mark-- either way you aren't going to be busting your pockets too badly to upgrade your weekend ops bag.
