10 best wash bags for men who travel in 2025.

Stubble & Co’s travel backpack is one of our editor favourites – and a top seller for Traveller readers purchasing through our guides – so complete the set by picking up the matching wash bag. It’s available in nine shades from classic black and navy to cheery yellow and mint green, with a three-litre inner pocket and side zipped pouch for smaller essentials. It’s made from recycled materials and wipes clean in case of spills. A loop handle means you can attach it to the outside of your bag, or hang it up when in situ – handy when staying somewhere with a smaller bathroom.

With a larger-than-average five-litre capacity, this wash bag has ample room for all your toiletries and grooming gear, ready to sling in your checked luggage for longer trips of two weeks-plus. It’s made from fully recycled polyester inside and out, with a waterproof closure (great for when you’re off camping) and an additional zippered front pocket and internal side pocket for items you need to hand quickly. The square shape and sturdy construction means it’d be equally as good as a packing cube for underwear or cables as for your bathroom essentials, and it comes in five colours. There’s a smaller three-litre version for shorter or weekend breaks, too.

Rains is known for its Scandi-cool minimal designs and high-performance waterproofing, and its washbag is made with the same sensibilities as its backpacks and coats, form its signature PU fabric, with a velvety-soft feel and superior strength. It comes in 13 colours (we like the rusty red Honour shade especially) and a three-litre capacity makes it a carry-on friendly option for your 300ml products.

For an investment piece, nothing beats a timeless leather finish. Aspinal’s structured wash bag is a particularly lovely example, made from fine full-grain pebbled leather from sustainable tanneries and finished with a grosgrain lining. There are three colours to choose from, but our favourite is the black version with its vibrant red inner. Personalisation is available, making this a great gift idea for regular travellers.

You won’t get all your gear in here, but this is a game-changer for hand luggage only trips. This bag is TSA compliant and, as one reviewer notes, holds its shape far better than the little plastic bags you’ll be given at the airport. It also means you won’t have to spend time and energy transferring your toiletries from your case to the bag in the airport ever again – everything can go straight into the tray, fuss free.

It’s rare to walk down any high street in London without spotting one of Fjallraven’s minimal backpacks, which are available in a Scandi-cool array of dusty neutrals and brighter colours alike. Now you can have a washbag to match, in the same durable waxed fabric, albeit in a more restrained shade range. This is a big washbag with ample room for all your bottles for trips of up to two weeks, with two roomy compartments each with multiple inner pockets for all your makeup, grooming gear, hair products and toiletries.

Make like Pedro Pascal, king of travelling stylishly, who’s been spotted in Bottega Veneta in various airports, including Cannes most recently for this year’s film festival. The brand’s signature weaved intrecciato technique is present in its smart wash bag, which is perfectly-sized for carry-on only travel. Each piece is made from Italian leather in Italy, and we appreciate how the internal nylon pouch can be removed, helping both protect the leather and ensuring easy cleaning.

Here’s another smart leather option by Ralph Lauren, in a rich chocolate brown shade and finished with the signature Pony logo embossed in shiny gold on the front. It has a roomy inner compartment plus an external and inner zipped pocket to keep smaller essentials easily to hand.

French atelier Sandro never misses, so we love this roomy washbag which is a little different with a middle zippered opening and top handle. It’s made with 50 per cent recycled materials, has a smart pebbled finish, and comes with a dust bag to keep it protected when you’re not travelling.

To finish, here’s a very reasonably priced option from Zara which, in a move that’s unusual for such a large retailer, can be personalised with your own initials for just an additional £3.
