Looking to get some type of duffel/backpack for travel. It'd be nice if it had a handle and wheels but not necessary. I would like the straps to wear as a backpack as well.

Something that will hold about 3-5 days of clothing, with plenty of compartments for different things.

What do the traveling ballers use when traveling the globe?

It's a narrower category if you want a duffel with backpack ability, I think. Not sure how "baller" you can really get in that category.

However, I have a Patagonia Black Hole Duffel I use for fly fishing and outdoor gear that converts nicely into a backpack. They have several sizes, although the smallest one doesn't have the backpack straps.

It's a great bag, bombproof, but not sure if it is a look you'll want or not.

Filson. But it sounds like you need a Patagonia.

Filson

But I'm too poor to own it

I've got a Kelty bag that I use as a backpack/carry-on that also turns into a duffel bag. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's versatile enough to use as carry on luggage but also made for outdoor activities. I've used it on two separate 2 week trips to Europe, and it's also become my standard go to carry-on item on shorter weekend trips. I just turned it into a duffel and checked it though on flight froms Naples to Seattle yesterday.

I have filson duffle and briefcase. Both are excellent. Their new backpacks seem nice, but are very pricey. There are many solid option for less than half the price.

I also have a northface duffle with backpack straps. It's a bulletproof bag, but it has flaws. I would buy the patagonia one vs nf purely to have a small side compartment. The last time I looked, the patagonia bags came in very shiny colors which I don't like.
