Alex
Top Pro

The value-for-money ratio is great

•••
This is an entry-level bag, but it's very durable and it has a lot of storage space.
Alex
Top Pro

The design is peculiar and very practical

•••
This bag is made out of canvas with a soft texture, unusual for a gym bag. But not only does it stand out in the locker room, the material is waterproof and highly durable, so the bag can actually withstand harsh weather and a lot of tear.
Alex

Top Pro

You can use it as a multi-purpose bag

•••
You can take this bag out of the gym and use in your everyday life or for traveling. It has a large capacity - 55 liters, which is more than enough space for a laptop (up to 14"), clothes, shoes, and other personal items.

It's lightweight

•••
The bag itself weighs only a pound, which is very little considering the large size and capacity.
Alex
Solon
Top Pro

It's very comfortable

•••
The straps are durable yet soft and comfortable at the same time. Even fully loaded, the bag doesn't put much pressure on your shoulders or back.
Alex

Top Con

The zippers are flimsy

•••
The zipper is the weak spot of the bag; it's the one thing most likely to break as you keep using it. There's not much you can do about it except be careful opening and closing the bag and be ready to buy a replacement if eventually it does break.

It's very easy to store

•••
If you don't need the bag for a while, you can just fold it and put it into a small pouch that comes along with.
Alex
Solon
Top Con

It's not meant for heavy-duty use

•••
The bag works great if you're planning to hit the gym a couple times a week. However, if you carry it around fully loaded, day in day out, you will find that the stitching may get loose, or that the fabric may begin to wear here and there.

Some elements of the bag feel cheap

•••
If you load the bag up and lift it by the straps, it feels as if they are almost going to rip. The zippers feel very delicate as well.
