kit bags

Military travel containers

A kit bag is a cylindrical canvas or leather bag used for carrying personal belongings, especially by soldiers and travelers.

The term evokes military service and basic travel—packing light with just the essentials: Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag.

British usage favors kit bag; Americans more often say duffel bag.
