Eastpak’s Reader M+ sits in the brand’s travel duffle line-up as a mid-size, soft-sided bag that competes with other weekender holdalls from the likes of Nike, adidas and CabinZero. With a 51.5L capacity in a simple black finish, it’s aimed at people who want one bag that can handle gym kit, a short break, or being thrown in the boot without fuss. The soft construction keeps it flexible for awkward spaces, while the boxy shape helps it pack more predictably than many rounded duffles.

Who is this duffle bag for?

Pick this if you prefer a classic holdall over a suitcase, and you want enough volume for a couple of outfits, shoes and toiletries without going up to a bulky kit bag. The 63cm length makes it better suited to car travel, trains, or overhead storage where size allowances are generous.

• Capacity: 51.5L, a solid “weekend away” size
• Dimensions: 27 x 63 x 29cm, long profile for easy packing
