Which is better for a weekend trip?

Both fit two to three days of clothing. The Polare's 42L at 4.85 lbs is easier to carry and slides onto a suitcase handle; the Dutch 24-inch is larger at 24 x 11 x 14 in but its weight is not stated.

The Polare uses full grain cowhide, the top layer of the hide, which generally outlasts split or corrected leather. The Dutch only says "genuine leather," which can mean a lower grade.

Is the Polare worth the extra $20.99?

Yes if you want full grain leather, a lighter bag and a 1-year warranty. No if you need a 28 or 30-inch bag or want to pay the lowest price.

Which is better for a gym bag?

The Polare. Its 42L size, side pockets for a bottle and detachable shoulder strap suit gym use, and it is lighter to carry.

Can either go in the overhead bin?

The Polare is listed as TSA friendly at 23 x 9.8 x 10.6 in. The Dutch 20-inch is the closest carry-on size; the 24-inch and up are better checked.

Which has more reliable reviews?

The Dutch, with 142 ratings at 4.6. The Polare's 4.7 comes from only 12 ratings, which is too few to be confident.
