A duffel bag (also known as duffle bag, kit bag, gym bag) is a spacy cylindrical piece of luggage made of cloth, nylon (or other fabric) with a drawstring closure at the top.
Original name comes from a Belgian town Duffel known as a place where the thick cloth used to make the bag originated.
Nowadays, a duffel bag typically refers to the specific style of bag, though the definition may also be used to refer to any large generic holdall or a bag made of thick fabric.
Duffel bags are often used to carry luggage or sports equipment by people who travel in the outdoors.
Duffel bags are also often used by military personnel. When used by sailors or Marines they are sometimes called seabags or “ditty” bags.
