Many would say a weekend bag is merely that: a bag for the weekend. That could be a suitcase then, or a backpack.

But anyone who’s come a cropper to a poorly thought out weekend pack — nice shirt all creased up at the bottom of your rucksack, chasing your mates around town as you lug along your oversized hard-shell — will tell you it pays to have a proper weekend bag.

How we tested

For this article, we looked at several different weekend bags in a range of materials — rip-stop cordura, recycled polyester, nylon, real leather, synthetic leather — and price points, from bags around the £50 mark up to over £300.

We tested the bags in an array of different settings depending on their stated use and function, from camping trips in typically wet British weather for those sold with waterproof capabilities to overnight staycations for those made with leather and better suited to dry land. Each one was packed with everything you would usually need for at least one night away, including a change of clothes and a toiletries bag.

We also tested the bags on how easy they were to pack and whether they had pockets or compartments that would help their usability. After all, there’s nothing worse than trying to fish your keys out from the bottom of a fully, and neatly packed, bag.

• 7 best men’s ties and pocket squares

And then, of course, affordability and appearance play a part. Now looks are subjective, but we were looking for stand-out touches, from well-made straps and well-stitched seams to studying the quality of the zippers and clasps. Ditto, in some ways, affordability, the extra cost of real leather as a material, for example, impacting the relative cost of the weekend bag.

M&S collection leather weekend bag

Best: Overall

Rating: 10/10

M&S has always been a reliable choice when it comes to accessible and affordable quality, and that’s especially so with this handsome weekend bag. The leather is responsibly and sustainably sourced, as all the brands leather products are, and is billed as “genuine leather” which is crafted from any layer of the hide, and not as highly prized as full-grain or top-grain.

However, it is extremely soft and supple, cast in a deep, versatile shade of brown that will look good with any outfit across the dress codes. The leather handles also feel weighty and well-made with neat, classy metal attachments, while a strip of leather on the back is useful for sliding the bag onto a suitcase handle.

Inside, everything is fully lined in a complementing darker brown fabric, with three sizeable pockets, the one closest to the mouth conveniently coming fully zipped and at the absolute perfect size for your keys, phone, and wallet. In the main body, there’s plenty of room for any and every weekend trip, while some might even be able to get away with using it for a whole week.

Overall, this is a well-made, well-thought-out weekend bag that should appeal to a range of tastes and needs, and all at that reasonable high-street price point. It’s currently out of stock so sign up to be notified when it’s back.

Aspinal of London Anderson holdall

Best: Luxury touches

Rating: 9/10

Luxury often comes with a stomach-churning price tag, and for the most part, it’s hard to justify. But in certain circumstances, when the maker is truly the best at making that particular item — think of all those masterful tailors on Savile Row, or the pristine shirtmakers on Jermyn Street — that price tag does start to justify itself. That’s certainly the case with leather goods and bag makers, Aspinal of London.

That ineffable quality and craftsmanship shine through in the details on this weekend bag. The silver-tone metal zippers and strap attachments are positively gleaming, the latter coming nicely engraved with the Aspinal name, which also sits resplendent on a handy travel card slip-in pocket.

Then there’s the little leather clip on the hardy tubular grab handles which keep the straps together while carrying, as metal protective base feet keep the bottom of your bag away from the floor, and any menacing puddles. And while the main body of the bag may only be tight weave nylon — albeit very thick and durable nylon — there’s enough buttery soft leather on the underside of the bag to make you feel like you’ve not been short-changed. In sum, it all adds up to a rather special bag that feels a cut above the rest, even if the price tag is too.

Eastpak stand more triple denim

Best: For affordability

Price, versatility, and durability are the main selling points of the massive American bag maker Eastpak, with this weekend bag by the brand ticking every single one of those boxes. First, the price. At £55 you’d be hard-pressed to find a bag from a reputable brand at this price point, and it makes Eastpak an attractive proposition right off the website page.

But what about the bag IRL? Well, there’s no false economy here. The bag comes folded away in a mini storage bag and is clad in an attractive flecked deep blue that’s casual but still smart enough to carry into a five-star hotel. Inside you have a shoe compartment and a small zipped pocket, with another pocket on the outside. The details look well made and hard-wearing, and sure you might not be getting any gleaming silver-toned zippers, protective base feet, or leather trimmings, but you are getting a bag that will do the job and leave some money left over for you to upgrade your trip elsewhere.

Snow Peak Boston dry bag

Best: For wet weather camping

Rating: 8/10

Japanese brand Snow Peak has a fervent cult following with an MO that focuses on all the camping gear you could possibly need, made slick, stylish, and inconspicuous. Hence why its version of the weekend bag is made with serious campers in mind, with functionality and durability paramount. What you get then is a waterproof rating up to 10,000mm and a super wide mouth, which makes it brilliantly easy to just throw your things in and get on with your hike.

However, the Snow Peak isn’t as plug-in-and-play as it initially seems. Its ability to change sizing from tote bag to a more weekend bag shape is novel but does involve some fiddly and initially confounding flap folding and strap clipping. Furthermore, a valve on the side is missed at first glance, used to release the air pressure in the bag, while also acting as a water drain if liquids do somehow slip inside.

All these clever mod cons only serve to make the bag more charming though, even if it might not have the old-school leather-bound good looks of other options on this list.

Fred Perry classic barrel bag

Best: For overnight stays

Fred Perry is a dab hand at conjuring up long-lasting classics, from its quintessential polo shirt to its popular, logo-laden barrel bags. This weekend bag takes a great deal of its style cues from the mod culture in which the brand is indelibly tied, especially with those Sixties stripes and shiny, almost reflective PU leather. It’s a bold choice compared to some of the other bags on this list, and can somewhat lack versatility as a result, while also being quite small in comparison, better suited to overnight stays than multiple nights away.

However, a sizeable side compartment and inner zipped pocket make it one of the easiest to pack and access, while a zip and snap button closing system make it that extra bit more secure. Plus, you can’t knock the price, coming in just under what you’d expect to pay for one of its polo shirts. It’s a solid option then, and one that comes with a great deal of menswear heritage.

Reiss Elliot leather weekend holdall

Best: For business class

Reiss sits on the higher end of the high street, making contemporary, clean-cut menswear and womenswear that fits particularly well within the office, even if those dress codes are erring evermore casual. Its selection of weekend bags – including this holdall, cast in a reddish-brown tinge that Reiss itself describes as Bordeaux – slot in effortlessly alongside suiting or one of its elegant overcoats. As a whole, it’s a timeless, elegant, and simple piece, with minimal stitching and branding.

However you are missing out on some of the storage points offered up by other bags on this list — no shoe compartment, or travel card slip-in pocket — although there is still a single zipped pocket inside for you to scurry your items in. The shoulder strap offered is also curiously cast in an unmatching black nylon, and without a shoulder pad to ease any friction or rubbing.

Needless to say, this is still a great option for those looking at a more traditional, smart-casual weekend bag, particularly if you’re going on a plane, with the bag neatly fitting into all major airlines’ hand-luggage limits.

Carhartt WIP vernon travel bag

Best: For toughness and durability

Rating: 7/10

Workwear brand Carhartt and its streetwear arm, Work In Progress (WIP), has risen to become one of the most in-demand labels around in recent years, and a strange beast in its appeal to everyone from Gen-Z skaters to actual, real-life lumberjacks. This travel bag sits in its millennial-targeting, streetwear division as emphasised by the zeitgeisty pastel hue (opt for the black if you’re looking for something more versatile).

Cast in a cordura rip-stop fabric, it’s also one hell of a workhorse, with a snap button fastener over the top making it even hardier and lessening the chance of unwanted liquids getting to your personals. However, those same buttons do also make it a bit of a challenge to easily get in and out, while the Vernon also loses further points for being almost too cavernous inside, with it hard to neatly pack in your folded clothes as a result.

No worries if your wardrobe is all heavy workwear of course, but if you’re carrying around anything on the smarter side of menswear you may want to look elsewhere.

Herschel Supply Co. novel duffle

Best: For everyday travels

Herschel Supply Co. is one of the biggest names in the bag world, building its reputation off the back of its retro-styled backpacks, made to evoke the heavily strapped up sacks worn by frontiersmen in the 19th century.

The novel duffle is its entry into the weekend bag race, and at first sight, it looks like a frontrunner. Firstly you’ve got a reasonable price point, and some nice design touches including a handy shoe compartment on the side, a mesh inner side sleeve so you can grab valuables at a glance, and a comfy padded shoulder strap, a godsend when you’re carrying about a full-to-the-brim sack, and not something every weekend bag has as standard.

However, just as the Aspinal of London weekend bag (£360, Aspinaloflondon.com ) impresses in its details, the Herschel novel duffle trips upon closer inspection. The reinforced, synthetic leather handles look and feel flimsy, while there’s loose stitching all over the seams. Then there’s the jarring design choice of having a white zipper against the stiff black nylon, while the plastic strap clips further ruin the aesthetic.

That being said, there is a very clear discrepancy between the price points on these two bags, which makes the novel duffle a rather more practical, everyday option. We could see it doubling up well as a gym bag, or a bag to carry a change of clothes in after a cycle to the office.

Weekend bags FAQs

What are key features of a weekend bag.

The weekend bag can take on many guises, but in its simplest and purest form you have two grab handles, a soft, relatively unstructured shape to squish your items inside, and enough space to carry everything you need for a night, or two, away.

Beyond that, a flat bottom is a relative necessity so you can neatly fold and pack your clothes away, while a weekender needs to be portable and versatile, able to be lumbered up the stairs on the tube or over cobbled streets, a strength it carries over it’s wheeled adversary, the suitcase.

A shoulder strap helps when things get heavy, while a separate shoe compartment is more than a novelty, a change of shoes allowing you to be prepared for all conditions, while also keeping any unwanted mud firmly on the soles, and away from your clothes.

In terms of material, weekend bags are firmly split into two camps. You have your nylon options, which tend to sit better with more casual outfits, while a real leather choice will look knock-out alongside the sharper end of menswear, and is especially well-suited to trips away with an occasion in mind — races, trip to the in-laws, wedding.

The verdict: Weekend bags for men

The M&S collection leather weekend bag was the best weekend bag for men that we tested, excelling in both price and quality. Those searching for a less-frills, casual weekend bag that’ll get the job done could do a lot worse than the Eastpak stand more triple denim , while real big-spenders would do well to take a look at the Aspinal of London Anderson holdall , a prime example of how a luxury price tag shines through in the details.

Our favorite luggage brands make it easy to elevate your travel style . If you need help narrowing down your choices, we have our 25 favorites that our editors have tested and reviewed. Out with the old, in with a new travel bag.

When it comes to quick trips that last a day or two, a duffel is what you need. And Herschel’s Novel bag is, in so many words, the best bang for your buck. Not only is it incredibly durable and spacious enough for several fits (there’s also a separate compartment for your shoes), but it’s also less than $100. That’s what we call a win-win.

Drawing its inspiration from origami, Longchamp’s convertible travel bag is one of the most versatile out there. Wear it as a backpack or carry it around as a weekender, this bag is going to get you from point A to point B with ease. It’s sporty and practical and effortlessly in fashion.

From Karl Lagerfeld to David Fincher to Martha Stewart, all the high rollers can be seen toting this suitcase. It’s got distinctive grooves and an ergonomic design, and it just screams class. Plus, the TSA-approved locks are keeping your belongings extra secure.

It’s also Esquire approved and worthy of an investment.

For train travel, bus voyages ( ooof, we feel your pain ), or even a trip involving a connecting flight, there’s nothing like a good backpack to keep you hands-free and moving at a quick pace. Made of water-resistant nylon, Away’s backpack is a durable choice with padded shoulder straps and a laptop pocket.

Surprisingly lightweight, Métier’s duffel is a luxe option for frequent travelers. It’s thoughtfully designed with specific places for toiletries, sunglasses, a laptop, and the rest of your valuables. A secret card slot in the exterior pocket makes for easier travel at the airport.

In the luggage realm, there are very few that hold a candle to Samsonite. For more than a century (yes, that long), the brand has been churning out travel accessories, always offering quality styles for the day. It doesn’t get bogged down by its history. This soft-shell spinner, for example, features wireless charging pockets and a compartment for toiletries, and it’s made of 100 percent ballistic nylon. It’s also less than $250, which makes is a virtual steal.

Business executives know the importance of a garment bag. When you just hopped off the plane and are running late to that meeting, never stress trying to find a steamer again. TUMI is saving you from wrinkle embarrassment, keeping you put together everywhere and anytime.

We love our garment bags in duffel form. They are practical for traveling with suits or other formal clothes, but you can also use them for quick casual trips. Need more convincing? Check out our endorsement of this one.

In a flexible neoprene, Dagne Dover's carryall is one of the lightest duffels out there. It's got a laptop sleeve, and it also comes with a shoe bag and a dust bag. It also makes for a great gym bag, if you want something that's multipurpose.

We love this duffel so much, it was even one of the travel products our editors can't live without . Converting from a garment sleeve to a duffel bag, its versatility meets a luxurious style for a bag you will have for decades.

July Carry All Weekender Plus

Much like it's name denotes, this truly is a carry-all at its 50L capacity. A large padded pocket fits your laptop, and hidden pockets with magnetic closures keep your smaller belongings tucked away safely. If you are going somewhere for the long-haul, it also easily attaches onto your luggage.

Paravel Aviator Grand Suitcase

Paravel is new-ish to the luggage game, but in just a short time it is succeeding in the competitive market by focusing entirely on sustainability. The brand's collection is not only beautifully designed, but they are also made of recycled plastic water bottles. It also plants trees through Eden Reforestation Projects to offset the carbon emissions it produces via shipping.

Meisterstück Meisterstück Document Case

From the finest writing instruments to regal timepieces, Montblanc offers the kind of items beloved by jet-setters, C-suite executives, and anyone else of that sort. Naturally, this means that its briefcase is one of the best around, and will surely induce envy from the rest of the folks in first class.

Zero Halliburton Large Travel Case

When it comes to luxury, you can't ignore Zero Halliburton. This label is, after all, the maker of the iconic damage-resistant aluminum briefcases, so rest assured that its large spinner will stay looking good while its be tossed and turned from the check-in booth to baggage claim.

Victorinox Spectra 3.0 Frequent Flyer Carry-On

This Swiss brand makes luggage that lasts. Constructed in a high performance recycled polycarbonate, this suitcase is durable and eco-conscious. It expands by 20 percent and has multiple compartments for smart storage. We also love this piece from Victorinox because you can personalize it for no added cost.

Coofay Travel Backpack

Now you can pack for a weekend trip in a backpack. There's a laptop compartment, separate shoe storage, and a USB charging port. Travel compactly and with rest assured that everything you need it right on your back.

Lululemon Command the Day Duffel Bag

Aptly named, this bag is going to be your 24/7 savior. A water-repellent fabric protects against spills and weather. You can stay organized with the allocated pockets for shoes, laptop, and gear.

Yeti Crossroads Duffel Bag

You know Yeti for its coolers and bottles, but you're about to love it for its luggage. A water and abrasion-resistant exterior coupled with reinforced stitching makes this one of the most durable duffels on the market.

Mark & Graham 2-in-1 Garment Bag

This bag is literally a transformer. Going from garment bag to duffel, it helps to protect your clothing with its folding design. The smart silhouette even leaves room for two pairs of shoes to store at the side.

Mack Weldon Atlas Duffle

This reinforced canvas duffle will pass any test you put it through—from the gym to the plane. It has multiple pockets, one that's designated for shoes and the other for drinks and snacks ( remember to throw those out before you get to TSA ), and a slip-resistant bottom.

The best wash bags for men who groom on the go

By Heidi Quill , Jessie Atkinson and Faye Fearon

All the grooming gear but no idea where to keep it all? From The North Face to Louis Vuitton, GQ’s edit of the best wash bags for men will carry your toiletries in style

Take your grooming seriously? Then a plastic security bag just won’t cut it. To schlep your best toiletries, moisturiser , aftershave and the like in style you’ll need wash bags of repute. Or at least one that’s on a par with the effort you put into scouting an exfoliator worth its salt.

That’s why we’ve done our research to find the best wash bags for men to ensure you’re carrying your skin and haircare solutions in a gentlemanly fashion. From Reiss to Prada, these picks will marry with a suitcase , gym kit , duffle or backpack , or simply as a stylish tool to store any bathroom counter overspill. And once you have your wash bag sorted, be sure to keep it well stocked with our weekly pick of new grooming items .

What are GQ 's best wash bags for men?

You'll find all the wash bags worth your consideration in the gallery below, but first, here's what our editors are travelling with this season:

• Best classic wash bag: Bennett Winch, £425, bennettwinch.com
• Best value wash bag: Rains, £39, rains.com
• Best designer wash bag: Bottega Veneta, £1,350, mytheresa.com
• Best colourful wash bag: The North Face, £30, thenorthface.co.uk

What is the best fabric for a wash bag?

We tend to fill our wash bags with a variety of oils, creams and ointments that, when the victim of a pressurised air cabin or particularly bumpy car ride, can result in quite the sticky mess within your wash bag. It's for that reason that you'll most commonly find wash bags in a range of leathers or synthetic nylon, both being especially durable, tear-resistant and able to be simply wiped clean.

How do you clean a wash bag?

Whilst some wash bags will be able to go in the washing machine (the lapel should let you know), a spot of soap and hot water will never go amiss, and hand washing is generally a pretty safe bet. When it comes to leather wash bags, we recommend cleaning the inside with a damp cloth while gently wiping the outside panels with either a mild soap or an upholstery-specific wipe.

• Fabrication: Leather
• Colours: Black

Tom Ford knows how to serve timeless designs infused with just the right dose of glamour, and this extends to his selection of grooming accessories. Assembled from glossy, croc-effect leather, this stark black design is shaped with a solid rectangular structure and features practical zipped compartments across the front and inner. Decadently contrasted with gold-toned hardware, it's a must for serious fashion lovers.

• Fabrication: Polyester
• Colours: Yellow, black, beige, khaki (+4 more)

Masters of the raincoat and outerwear of all types, Rains has turned its practised eye to the wash bag. Utilising its same waterproof design and coated details, Rains' lime green option goes hard on durability, but style certainly isn't far behind.

• Fabrication: Polyamide

Looking to introduce a pop of colour to your bathroom shelf? Paul Smith is at hand to provide it. Centred by the designer's multicoloured striped webbing motif, this wash bag is as playful as it is practical: designed from a durable textured mesh, fitted with a small strap and complete with a pocket inside. If you ask us, it's an easy win – especially when partnered with the designer's range of similarly-striped accessory kits.

Marks & Spencer

• Fabrication: Recycled polyester

Hats off to Marks & Spencer for offering a wash bag which is environmentally-conscious and won’t break the bank. With sustainability in mind, this simple black style is made from a recycled Pro-Tect polyester fabric to promise serious durability and resistance against scuffs. Fitted with a water-resistant lining and two zipped compartments, rest assured that it will last for the long run.

Alpine Trek

• Fabrication: Polyester blend
• Colours: Black, navy, green (+1 more)

The small red fox that took over outdoor accessories has now moved into travel storage. Fjällräven's Kånken wash bag is by no means an exception to the label's practical approach to stylish storage, made from a durable, quick-drying fabric derived from recycled polyester and organic cotton. Put simply, it's ready for anything.

The North Face

• Fabrication: Recycled polyester blend
• Colours: Green, black, yellow

It’s an undeniable truth that smaller versions of large things are simply, and irrefutably, adorable. This wash bag from The North Face is a scaled-down iteration of the Base Camp Duffel bag, storing 5.7 litres in a durable, water-repellent construction. Finished in a laurel wreath green, this wash bag makes the ideal travel partner.

• Fabrication: Canvas
• Colours: Brown

Few brand motifs are as iconic as Gucci's recurring GG logo, making it an eternally stylish addition to your bathroom shelf. Dating back to the 1930s, the heritage rhombi print clads this supreme canvas wash bag – the middle of which is streamlined with the Italian house's equally iconic Web stripe and gold-toned hardware. Best of all, its brown leather trim is made through a chrome-free tanning process to reduce its environmental footprint. Just excellent.

By Jessie Atkinson

Horizn Studios

• Fabrication: PVC blend

Since most wash bags are covered in canvas, it's easy to throw too many belongings inside and run the risk of overflowing them with clutter. Fortunately, with this design by Horizn Studios, you won't make that mistake, as its silhouette is entirely (and stylishly) transparent. Swapping plastics for animal-friendly materials in its creation, it's finished with a branded logo patch at the front and also complies with airport size regulations – meaning you can use it at home or abroad.

The primary purpose of a wash bag may be practicality, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice good style in the process. Immediately ticking the boxes for both, this leather-crafted design by Loewe is the ultimate example of quiet luxury – inspired by the art form of origami through its panelling across the front. This format can also be packed down for space-saving, but if you prefer to keep it standing straight its full lining ensures the greatest shape.

Affordable accessories with strong cultural credit? Sign us up. These are served by none other than Fred Perry, whose simple but effective style status is evidenced by this staple wash bag. Coated in a shiny black shade, its rounded frame is fitted with a top handle for convenience on the go, and the bottom corner is stamped with the brand's acclaimed Laurel Wreath logo. Fuss-free and budget-friendly, what's not to love?

Aspinal of London

• Colours: Tobacco, Navy, Black

It’s not entirely clear why Aspinal of London has called its leather wash bag the “Reporter”. Perhaps it’s because you’ll want to report your new purchase to absolutely everyone on the same flight as you. Pebbled in tobacco (the most gentlemanly of browns), it comes with rubber base points and a loop, so as to keep your new toy out of the suspicious-looking water in the aeroplane bathroom.

If your interest in grooming has led to what some would call an unnerving (but you would call necessary) amount of moisturisers and beard oils , you’ll need something a little more capacious. Allow Lululemon to step in: the athleisure brand hears your plight and provides a 5-litre capacity bag with endless storage options as a solution.

• Fabrication: Recycled woven fabric
• Colours: Bronze, navy, grey (+1 more)

Encouraging exploration with style, Bellroy supports movement in all forms. Given a burnt orange hue, this Bellroy toiletry kit is as big on storage and organisation as it is on aesthetics, keeping your essentials in their place no matter your final destination.

Crafted from a water-resistant coated canvas and fully lined in black, Métier’s staple wash bag is one for those who like to keep things elegant in the bathroom. Featuring the London-based brand’s art-deco-like monogram across the silhouette, it fastens with a two-way leather zip pull and features a curved leather handle at the side.

• Fabrication: Polyurethane

Assembled from sturdy faux leather and structured to a rectangular silhouette, this black washbag by Ted Baker demonstrated the brand’s flair for quality at an affordable price. Featuring checked panels down the centre of the body, it’s fitted with an internal net pocket and handle on top. Currently on sale via Selfridges, be sure to add it to your basket before it’s too late.

If you’re looking to invest in a truly luxury washbag, Berluti is the brand to turn to. Having excelled in quality design since 1895, this Formula 1003 washbag is a prime example of its craftsmanship: assembled from the house’s unique Venezia leather and embossed with a signature calligraphic “ scritto” motif. A real beauty.

• Fabrication: Recycled polyamide
• Colours: Black, stone

If you’re less inclined to drop half of your pay cheque on something very few people are going to see, we wouldn’t blame you one bit. Head to Arket, we say. There, you’ll find a sub-£20 model that’s both generously sized and appealing to behold.

Bottega Veneta

Sometimes just one kind of construction says it all. Keeping things simple (and yet, oh-so-stylish) through the brand's signature Intrecciato-leather weaving style, Bottega Veneta’s classic wash bag is detailed with a side strap and zipped pocket inside. Guaranteed to keep you in good standing amongst the fashion crowd, it's an instant ‘yes’ from us.

Brunello Cucinelli

• Colours: Tan, black

With a price tag that’s not for the faint of heart, this Brunello Cucinelli wash bag is true to the ethos of the label that made it: if your new purchase isn’t an heirloom, why buy it? Grained leather and carefully sectioned, this wash bag does everything that its equivalents do…the only difference is that you’ll want to pass this one onto your offspring.

Adapter Plug Naming Convention - What Do The Adapter Letters Mean

Many customers ask about the adapter naming convention. Finding the correct adapter for the country you are visiting can be confusing. Going In Style has a unique naming convention for our adapters. Other companies name their adapters differently. Lets take a look at Going In Style's naming convention.

Non Grounded Adapter Names

Non Grounded Adapters are named A, B, C, D, E and F. The A plug is the North America non grounded adapter plug. An adapter plug can work in many different countries. A North America plug will work in Canada, United States, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, etc. These are all countries in North America. However, the North America Plug also works in Japan, Korea and Vietnam. These countries are not in North America. Adapters are given a one letter name and then matched to the countries that use that plug.

Grounded Adapter Names

Grounded adapter plugs are given a three letter name. Going In Style's grounded adapters are named GUA, GUB, GUC, GUD, GUE, GUF, GUI, GUZ and GUS. The North America grounded adapter plug is named GUA. GUA plug works in most countries in North America and also works in some Asian countries such as Taiwan, Japan and Thailand. 

Adapters are given a short lettered name so the adapter type can be easily identified and matched to its appropriate country.

See full list of adapter plugs by country

You can purchase grounded and nongrounded travel adapters plugs locally at our flagship travel store at Stanford Shopping Mall in Palo Alto, California. We carry grounded and nongrounded adapter plugs, converters and travel appliances for every country in the world at  Going In Style Travel Accessories, 609 Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto, CA 94304  - Visit the  Stanford Travel Store website   www.stanfordtravelstore.com  for  directions Going In Style .
