Heavy
"This bag is roomy and I like the zippered pouch at the bottom for shoes or items you want to keep seperate from the main pocket. Unfortunately, it is quite heavy (even empty) and once filled a bit hard to manage and carry for long."

The Catalina Deluxe is the original weekender bag to popularize the bottom shoe compartment design. Launched in 2013, it's iconic design was created to keep shoes separate from clean items. Available in eco-friendly sustainable materials, this classic weekender is extremely versatile and built to last.
The Catalina Deluxe is the most duped weekender in the world. Its design has inspired endless copies and weekender designs. The signature bottom shoe compartment features a removable padded insert for easy cleaning and extra padding. Fits an extra pair of shoes, toiletries, or dirty clothes! Perfect for an overnight stay or a carry-on addition to your luggage.
This carry-on duffel bag features a luggage sleeve that allows you to slide it over suitcase handles for seamless travel. It also features double sided zippers that can adjust to fit different handle widths. While it won't qualify as a personal item, you should be able to carry it on and fit it in an overhead bins. And sometimes when it's partially packed it will fit underneath some larger airline seats.

"This bag is roomy and I like the zippered pouch at the bottom for shoes or items you want to keep seperate from the main pocket. Unfortunately, it is quite heavy (even empty) and once filled a bit hard to manage and carry for long."
"This is a beautiful, classic looking bag. This size is what I thought I was looking for (and it easily fit everything I needed for a 3 night getaway. My only complaint is that by the time you do fill it to the max it is a lot to carry. If I was traveling somewhere by car it would have been perfect. I was plane and subway traveling and it was heavy and difficult to walk very far with it. That said, it fit in the overhead bins space like no roller cart could on my small flight. I was so grateful to not have to gate check my bag despite initially being a bit jealous watching fellow travelers effortlessly spin and roll their way toward the gate. . ."
"This bag is perfect for when you travel with a wheeled suitcase but need a little more room for shows and makeup. The the lower padded zipper compartment works well to stow my CPAP gear safely. It fits snugly over the handle of my wheeled suitcase making it super convenient when traveling with an extra bag. I love this bag."
"This bag is very roomy in the main compartment - more than the standard duffel I am replacing. The shoe compartment has a removable insert that provides some structure and will hold up to 3 pairs of shoes, depending on size/type. The upper canvas main compartment does not have any structural support and is very floppy when empty, making packing the bag sometimes a challenge."
"I have been looking for a bag like this for years . I have the large and I use it as a carryon on top of my wheeled carry an and have not been stopped at the gate ( yet !) It’s squishy so you can shove it under the airline seat , has the separate storage area which is brilliant , and the sleeve so it fits over roller case handle . I said squishy , but it has enough structure that it’s not too floppy . I love it"
"The Catalina Deluxe Small is a terrific well designed bag. Used it for my carry-on. I was able to keep everything organized. It is very sturdy. So glad it was recommended to me by a family member."
"After struggling with different luggage sleeve bags to add to my roller suitcase, I finally found a bag that fits snugly on the handle, has lots of room both inside and in the lower zipper compartment, has a strong zipper, and is all around a great addition to my carry on. Our recent trip was much easier because of this suitcase."
"Nice bag, but too many hardware making it a little too heavy for me as a comfortable carryon. I don’t like to check my luggage for trips shorter then two weeks, and the size of this bag is perfect except for the slightly heavier weight."
"Great customer service the bag wasn't what I was looking for. . . I needed more structure and. not as large."
"VERY happy with this purchase. I was replacing a similar-sized duffle weekender I bought at target a million years ago and wore it until it was literally falling apart. I was stressing about a replacement bc it’s my go-to bag for short and long trips. I compared this one to NOBL, HalfDay Travel, Topo designs, Aer, Béis, and others, and decided on this one based on features, price point/value (note: I did get this Catalina bag on sale). Well I’m happy to report this Catalina deluxe small size is perfect for my needs. It’s a great size that fits a weekend worth of stuff but not so big that I overpack it and it’s impossible to carry comfortably. It fits under the seat on the plane, and sometimes I use the shoe compartment for my laptop and travel neck pillow for easy access. I love the optional pass though for luggage pull but you can zip closed and use it as a pocket. Great bag and do recommend."
