The Best Men's Toiletry Bags to Toss in Your Carry-On

You probably have a toiletry bag. But do you have the best men's toiletry bag? Just how satisfied are you with your Dopp's…performance? If you're the type of guy who has spent any part of this past winter scouting the coolest locations, the swankiest hotels, and maybe even taking advantage of some great sales on suitcases, then you probably want to invest in a top-tier Dopp kit. Something to store your basic grooming, skincare, and hygiene products, sure, but more than that, a mobile home for your whole grooming regimen.

Whether you're heading out for a quick weekend or a longer soul-searching sabbatical, the game-changing effect of toting the best Dopp kit to transport all of your grooming products will surprise you. Not only will it allow you to organize this gear, and separate it from the clothes it could ruin with one loose cap, but it also looks a lot more grown up than that gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Not knocking Ziplocs, here. They're incredibly useful. But you wouldn't shove the contents of your carry-on into one of those big blue plastic IKEA bags and board a plane, would you? On a smaller scale, that's essentially the toiletry Ziploc travel bag move.

The most basic Dopp kit is just a big internal pocket with some sort of closure, but there are several different varieties differentiated by shape, material, number of extra pockets, and miscellaneous bonus features. At bare minimum though, a high-quality Dopp kit should have plenty of space (enough to fit several travel-size containers and long enough for grooming essentials like a toothbrush and a shaving kit). It should also be easy to clean (spills happen!) and water-resistant, have a good zipper, and pass the “would I be embarrassed if someone saw this out on my counter” test.

The following toiletry bags and Dopp kits are a few offerings from our favorite brands that our editors and writers have coveted, purchased, and used on trips far and wide. After neatly packing them in suitcases or tossing them in the bottom of backpacks, we can guarantee that at least one of them is certainly the best men's toiletry bag for you. Oh, and once you've got your Dopp, be sure to pack it smartly.
