Carry on duffel for small regional planes

Hello All!

I recently got a new job and have found myself doing quite a bit of travel. I fly out of South Bend, Indiana on small CRJ planes and generally catch connections in Atlanta or Detroit. Gate checking my roller is OK sometimes but if I have a tight connection it can get a bit nerve racking. I would like to get a duffel that I can hopefully fit in the overhead bin of the small regional planes. I've learned (by doing some research on this forum) that even if you have a roller that will fit sometimes gate agents make you gate check anything with wheels so I am looking at going the duffel route. I specifically would like to reserve the under seat storage for my back pack. My typical load out for trips is 4-5 days and includes

2 pairs of slacks
1 pair of jeans
5 pairs of underwear
7 pairs of socks
2 pairs of running shorts or 1 pair of light weigh running pants
2 running shirts
1 pair of running shoes
3 button down dress or casual shirts
2 T-shirts
1 Sport coat
Medium size toiletry bag

So first question is - Is there a duffel style bag that will fit all that and still fit in a overhead bin on a CRJ plane? Second question is if so - which one? I would like to stay under 200 dollars but will spend more if I need to. Thanks for any advice you can pro
