duffel bag

Cylindrical travel carrier

A duffel bag is a large cylindrical bag made of cloth or canvas, typically with a drawstring or zipper closure and a shoulder strap.

Originally military gear, duffel bags are now common for travel and sports: She packed a duffel bag for the weekend trip.

The name comes from Duffel, a Belgian town where the fabric was made.
