Discover the Top 10 Béis Travel Products of 2024: Thoroughly Tested and Reviewed

Best Carry-on

Both minimalist and maximalist travelers will appreciate the Béis Carry-on Roller’s straightforward yet spacious design. Ideal for weekend getaways or longer trips, this clamshell suitcase features a removable compression system with a mesh pocket on one side, while the other side includes two zippered pockets on the opening flap for undergarments or smaller clothing items. The array of pockets and compartments makes it easy and convenient to organize bulky and small items, and its size ensures it remains manageable for wheeling or lifting.

Having used this bag for six months, we’re impressed with its remarkable durability. The wheels glide smoothly over concrete, grass, and gravel, enduring our extensive travels. Additional features we appreciate include the cushioned handle, expandable zippers, weight limit indicator, and a retractable strap for attaching another suitcase or smaller bag. We suggest avoiding checking this carry-on if possible, as it showed signs of scuffing and denting during our tests.  

Specifications: 22.8 x 15.7 x 9.8-12 inches | 8.36 pounds | 49-to-61-liter capacity | Expandable | Polycarbonate

Top Choice for Checked Luggage

We’re huge fans of the Béis 26-inch checked roller bag’s ideal size. It can accommodate up to two weeks’ worth of clothing, yet its medium size is easier to maneuver and store than larger options. Over six months of testing, we enjoyed the smooth wheels that facilitate effortless navigation through airports. The organizational features mirror those of the brand's carry-on suitcase, featuring a detachable compression flap and multiple zippered pockets for smaller items. For added space on longer trips, the suitcase has expandable zippers that provide an extra two inches. Concerned about the suitcase’s weight? A handy weight limit indicator on the side turns red if the bag exceeds 50 pounds, helping you avoid overweight baggage fees. In lab tests, the polycarbonate material showed signs of scuffing and denting under rough handling, so if you prefer to avoid visible scratches, consider choosing one of the darker color options available.  

Specifications: 28.3 x 17.7 x 11 inches | 10.2 pounds | 78-to-94-liter capacity | Expandable | Made of polycarbonate

Top Choice for Weekenders

The Béis Weekender bag is a top seller for good reason, as our testing revealed. Its spacious interior accommodates everything you need for a weekend getaway, enhanced by the dedicated bottom compartment. This detachable section is ideal for bulky items like shoes and jackets or can be removed to streamline the bag. After six months of use, its durability remains impressive, earning it the nickname "Mary Poppins bag" for its ability to hold numerous items.

Business travelers will value the included vegan leather laptop case and a dedicated pocket for safely storing tech essentials. Like the Sport Duffel, this Béis bag features a removable strap, allowing it to be used as either a tote or duffel bag for versatility. We also appreciate its structured design, which helps it stand upright while packing, along with metal feet at the bottom to protect it from the floor (though we did notice some scratching on the feet during testing).

Specifications: 19 x 15.7 x 9.8 inches | 3.86 pounds | 49-liter capacity | Made from poly canvas and vegan leather | 15-inch laptop compartment

Top Choice for Mini Carry-ons

We enjoy testing out uniquely shaped suitcases, and this square mini roller is no exception. While it appears compact, it boasts a generous 41-liter capacity, featuring a front pocket suitable for a 13-inch laptop or smaller devices like tablets. Inside, you'll find zippered dividers, waterproof compartments, and compression straps, along with a detachable laundry bag labeled 'stink bag.'

The spinner wheels moved smoothly through our obstacle course, making this bag an ideal choice for kids or teens to carry as their own luggage. However, it’s also stylish enough for adults. 'The double spinner wheels rolled so effortlessly, and I found it easier to maneuver this bag than a taller, standard carry-on,' says T+L associate editorial director Morgan Ashley Parker. 'This is likely one of the best bags I've spun, and lifting it is a breeze due to its compact size.'

Specifications: 17 x 16.5 x 9 inches | 7 pounds | 41-liter capacity | Polycarbonate | 13-inch laptop pocket

Top Choice for Duffels

This premium duffel is sturdy, easy to carry, and has an abundance of pockets for all your needs. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, it's perfect for everyone from weekend explorers to business travelers. Surprisingly spacious, it accommodated our four-day packing list with ease, thanks to its six interior and four exterior compartments. During our testing, we found each pocket to be functional and purposeful—there's even a zippered pocket on the side that can transform into a luggage sleeve. Plus, it’s comfortable to carry, and the zippers operate smoothly, making it one of our favorite personal items, weekender bags, overnight bags, and more.

Specifications: Nylon and polyester | 21.5 x 9 x 12 inches | 3.15 pounds | 24.22-liter capacity | 15-inch laptop pocket

Top Gym Bag

Flexibility in luggage is key, and this sport duffel delivers with its convertible design, allowing multiple carrying styles. With tote handles and a removable crossbody strap for traditional duffel use, the hidden backpack straps can be tucked away when not needed. Regardless of how we carried it, the weight felt well-distributed across the straps for comfort and convenience. The only drawback was the crossbody strap's limited adjustability for different body types. After six months of regular use, this bag proved to be one of the most practical, innovative, and user-friendly options we've tested, maintaining its pristine appearance. Although it seems compact, it easily accommodates enough for a weekend trip and offers impressive organizational capabilities. Plus, it includes a drawstring bag for dirty laundry, making it perfect for both travelers and gym enthusiasts. 

Specifications: 17 x 10 x 8.5 inches | Nylon, recycled polyester | Trolley sleeve

Top Dopp Kit

We highly recommend this Dopp kit for its spacious design with dual compartments that allow you to organize your toiletries, which is incredibly handy for keeping items like your toothbrush, razor, or makeup brushes separated. It can hold a wide array of travel essentials — we packed in makeup, perfume, five brushes, lotions, toothpaste, face wash, deodorant, and hair products, with plenty of space left over and internal pockets for better organization. While it offers ample room, its larger size may make it cumbersome in your bag since it doesn't compress flat. Its design is akin to Béis’ popular weekender bag, featuring a bottom section, though you must completely flip the top half to access the lower compartment. We particularly appreciated that the bottom section is water-resistant, making it easy to clean up any spills or loose powders.

Specifications: 6.5 x 11 x 6 inches | 14.08 ounces | Cotton/jute canvas or poly canvas, PU; nylon trim; water-resistant poly lining

Top Cosmetics Case

A dependable makeup case is essential for travelers, especially since beauty products can be pricey and hard to replace. We loved Béis' cosmetic case for its sleek, structured design that protects toiletries in a carry-on or checked luggage. It accommodates all your makeup essentials, from foundation bottles and eyeshadow palettes to mini shampoos and toothpaste. The standout feature is its removable standing travel mirror, transforming any small area into a vanity—though those serious about makeup might also consider packing a lighted travel mirror.

We appreciate the detachable brush holder with straps and a clear plastic cover, keeping makeup brushes secure and preventing bristles from bending. While no makeup sustained damage during our tests, we feel a few extra straps or dividers in the roomy main compartment would help keep bottles or palettes more securely in place. In case of any spills while traveling, the interior is lined with fully wipeable fabric for easy cleanup.

Product Specifications: 9.5 x 4 x 7 inches | PU leather, nylon, PVC, poly | Zipper closure

Top Packing Cubes

This packing cube set is the ultimate solution for keeping your belongings organized while traveling. It includes three cubes, two drawstring bags, and a zippered pouch. The small, medium, and large packing cubes simplify packing various clothing items like jackets, pants, tops, and undergarments, while the different sizes allow for flexible use in any suitcase. The mesh openings and label holders make it easy to find what you need without creating a mess. Additionally, the zippered pouch serves perfectly as a laundry hamper for dirty clothes. You can also use the two drawstring bags to keep shoes separated from clean items. If your goal is to save space in your suitcase, you might consider compression packing cubes, which we’ve tested and loved, although they’re often out of stock.

Product Specifications: Includes 6 bags | Dimensions: 12 x 9 x 4 inches (small), 15 x 11 x 4 inches (medium), 17.5 x 12.5 x 4 inches (large) | Materials: PVC, polyester

Top Backpack

This backpack is a lifesaver for avoiding extra baggage fees when you pick up souvenirs while traveling. With an expandable gusset that adds 2 extra inches in depth, it has ample space for clothes for a short trip or overnight stay. If you're planning to use it as a personal item on flights, it features pockets for all your carry-on essentials. The padded laptop compartment accommodates both 13- and 15-inch devices, easily accessible from a dedicated back pocket. After hours of carrying it at the airport, the adjustable padded straps and back panel ensured comfort without strain. After six months of frequent use, the backpack remains in excellent condition.

The Specifications: 13 x 15 x 5-7 inches | Expandable design | Made from recycled polyester | Includes a pocket for a 15-inch laptop

Other Béis Travel Products We Loved

We've tested nearly every product from Béis, but not all made it to our top picks due to minor issues uncovered during testing.

Béis The Jewelry Case: The design is sturdy, but the button closure lacks security, causing it to open and spill jewelry when dropped.

Béis The Convertible Weekender: We love the detachable bottom compartment, but the tricky zippers make it difficult to reattach, leading us to prefer the standard Weekender instead.

Béis The Backpack: This backpack is missing adequate padding for comfort and protection, though we appreciate its simple design and handy pockets for laptops, chargers, and wallets.

Béis The Small Carry-on Roller: This newly launched piece is a compact version of our favorite carry-on from the main list. We appreciated its portable size and the numerous organizational features inside, but during testing, the wheels didn’t roll as smoothly as expected, making every turn feel more strenuous.

Our Testing Approach

Our T+L editors have assessed hundreds of luggage pieces. To evaluate items effectively, we categorize tests for analysis in our labs and during real-world travel. We tested a total of 21 Béis travel products, including suitcases, backpacks, weekenders, and accessories such as jewelry cases, packing cubes, toiletry kits, and sling bags.

For suitcase assessments, we utilize our custom-designed airplane setup, complete with passenger seats and overhead bins, to evaluate capacity, design, and maneuverability. We navigate obstacle courses with the suitcases to gauge wheel performance and test durability by using a baseball bat on each bag and dropping them off counters. For backpacks and weekenders, we fill the bags with travel essentials to understand their capacity, design, and portability. For non-suitcase bags, we focus on comfort and portability, crucial factors for any travel bag.

When it comes to accessories like jewelry cases, cosmetic bags, and packing cubes, we fill them with relevant travel items and assess durability by dropping, tossing, and throwing them (to the chagrin of our editors, no baseball bats are used). All lab-tested products are then sent out for up to six months of additional testing in real-world scenarios.

Tips for Purchasing Béis Travel Products

Assess Your Space Requirements

Béis offers a variety of luggage and accessories in different sizes to accommodate every type of traveler. Most carry-ons and checked bags feature expandable zippers, allowing an extra 2 inches of space when needed, alongside more compact options for those taking short trips.

The weekender bag is quite spacious, so if you prefer something smaller, consider the mini or convertible weekenders, or the duffel bags. Accessory sizing is generally straightforward, with most items coming in a single size, except for the hanging cosmetic case, which is larger than the standard cosmetic bag, and the cosmetic bag set, which includes the smallest storage pouch sizes.

Consider Organizational Features

Stuffing everything into one big bag or suitcase often leads to a chaotic mess when you arrive at your hotel and try to locate something. Instead, look for features that enhance organization to meet your needs. Many Béis luggage items serve multiple purposes: a carry-on duffel or weekender can double as a gym bag, and the backpack is perfect for transitioning from travel to the office, complete with tech compartments. Several checked and carry-on suitcases include built-in pockets and pouches, so consider which features you’ll actually utilize and look for those in your chosen bags.

Purchase for Your Specific Needs

Béis products are reasonably priced within the luggage market, but it's essential to invest in bags that you'll genuinely use. If you're embarking on a long international journey, consider buying a luggage set to save 15 percent when you purchase three suitcases. Business travelers or anyone carrying laptops might find value in a weekender or mini weekender bag featuring a laptop pocket and a removable vegan leather case for added protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Where can I purchase Béis luggage?

  The best selection of products can be found on the Béis website, which features all items offered by the brand in every colorway, including limited-edition shades that often sell out. You can also shop for Béis online at Nordstrom and Revolve.
