This will probably be the last gym bag I ever buy. Separates my shoes from my clothes, gives two removable Velcro bags for dirty clothes and the shoe separator doubles as a mat to stand on for changing? Bet.

Received the gym bag and love it so far. To date, I'd say it is the most well-constructed gym bag I've ever owned. I specifically sought out a gym bag for durability because I seem to have to replace them every 6 months: shoving them in and out of lockers, loading up the weight so the straps tear away from the bag or warp/break attachment pieces, broken buckles, broken zippers, etc. Doesn't appear to be a problem with this bag.
So far, it is nearly perfect, with just a few minor criticisms:
1. Holding its form. I find myself having to hold it open and/or dig around for stuff when I set it down because the whole bag just limply collapses on itself. Understandably that is the nature of gym bags. However, the last gym bag I just owned, while inferior in pretty much every other way to the orange mud product, would hold its form a bit more when set down, making it much easier to open and find items without having to dig around.
2. The interior bags. Overall, the interior organizational bags/compartments are great. However, while the exterior of the bag appears extremely durable, I fear the interior bags seem likely to wear down/fail over time. I understand the exterior takes the brunt of the daily trauma, but when I'm shoving the whole bag into/out of lockers and opening/closing the zippers every day I do fear these interior bags/zippers may be the first things to fail.
Otherwise, the weight, thickness/durability, straps and zippers all seem top notch. Even if I…

This bag is very well made. It looks like it will take a beating and be just fine. So far I have used this a few weeks for packing a change of clothes, hydration pack (single barrel), shoes, and a lunch bag. The zipped compartments are great for things like deodorant, headphones etc. I love the removable bags. Now my nasty sweaty running clothes are isolated to the larger bag. I use the smaller for toiletries.
I have my bag packed for it's first marathon travel. I was able to fit two outfits for the race itself, 2 pairs of shoes, an extra outfit for going out after race is done, all my travel toiletries, race day nutrition, and pajamas. I could probably cram more in if needed.
Absolutely love this bag.
