Gym Duffle Bag Backpack with Shoe Compartment 4 ways Travel Backpack for Women and Men Multi-Functional Weekender bag

I travel frequently with my job. I have carried a jar-top backpack from Target, that I got eons ago, as my carry-on, as it holds quite a bit and seems to do the job. However, when that backpack is flipped on it’s back to go under the seat in front of me it becomes really tall. So tall, in fact, that it is difficult to squeeze the rest of the way under the seat, and difficult to remove from under the seat when we land. Looking at different bags, their dimensions, and their reviews, I decided on this bag. I’m so glad I did! The bag is sturdy, has loads of room, has a net pocket for bottles on both sides of the bag, and has 2 hidden zippered pockets on either side of the bag, as well. I used one of the drink pockets for a glass bottled coffee before my first flight with the bag. I didn’t finish the coffee before I boarded. When the plane landed I reached down to pick up my bag. As I got it to my lap, the bag felt wet and smelled weird. It seems that the lid on my coffee wasn’t sealed and leaked everywhere. BUT, when I got to where I could clean the bag out/off, nothing inside the bag was wet! I had paper books, a planner, and some other items that would’ve been ruined, but they stayed dry!!! I must’ve soaped and rinsed the outside of that bag at least a handful of times and I think I finally got it all off/out of the straps and whatnot. There was room to spare in this bag, and I feel like I take a lot in my carry ons. Especially during cold months. The only thing I would change is to either add another zipper to the center opening into the main bag area, or at least move the zipper to the top in the closed position. Other than that, it’s practically perfect! We’ll see how long it holds up, but it had a first good run! If the seller would like me to test other bags, I’d be happy to do so with the donation of the bag! This is a great bag, buy it! Read more

The color is so cool! I got the space one. The weight is okay... its a big duffle backpack. So you have to kinda fill it like you're going backpacking to distribute the weight evenly. It has a place for your shoes, a wide opening to fill up and a pocket on the top. Ive had this bag for almost a year and its gone on several beach trips, camping outings and even to the gym a few times! So it's definitely durable and functional! Read more

I recently used the Gym Duffle Bag Backpack with Shoe Compartment for an overnight Girl Scout trip to the zoo, and it exceeded my expectations! This multi-functional weekender bag is incredibly versatile, offering four different ways to carry it, which made it easy to adjust depending on my needs. The shoe compartment was a game-changer—perfect for keeping my shoes separate from the rest of my clothes, which was essential after walking around the zoo all day. The waterproof layer provided peace of mind when we encountered rain, keeping everything dry inside. It also has a dedicated laptop compartment, which came in handy for storing important items securely. The space in this bag is impressive; I easily fit everything I needed for the trip, from toiletries to snacks. It’s comfortable to carry, and the design is sleek enough for both fitness, travel, and camping. Highly recommend this bag for anyone needing a reliable, functional, and stylish duffle bag backpack for short trips! Read more

I LOVE this bag. I desperately needed a gym bag for all my things. This holds way more than I originally thought it would. I packed it with 2 sets of kickboxing gloves, shin guards, post workout snacks, change of clothes, personal hygiene essentials and a towel. It still has room and also small spaces for my wallet, keys, etc. I have shad so many compliments on this and the quality is SO GOOD. Read more

I really love this bag. I wanted something fun, that would stand out to use as my flute gig bag. One thing that bothered me though was all of the branding all over the bag. But that was fairly easy to fix. First I easily removed the logo from the top of the bag using a seam ripper. By pulling the threads out, the logo came right off, leaving only a few tiny holes behind. I used my fingernail to scrape all different directions to gather the fabric threads back together and the holes vanished. Next I used a black sharpie and colored in all of the white writing on the straps. This was a pretty relaxing thing to do while watching a movie. I also tried using Rit DyeMore, thinking it might hold the color better, but it requires boiling water to set the color, to so it didn't work. Overall it did take a few hours, but the end result is very nice. The black sharpie didn't make the words disappear, but they are now a really dark purple-gray color that compliments the bag. I plan on adding a chest buckle and a couple of removable padded flute case sleeves and straps inside to secure my flutes. This bag is large enough to hold a C flute, alto flute, and folding stand. And the notebook that holds my music and tablet fit nicely in the computer pocket. *Note that although an orchestral folder might fit inside the main compartment, it will not fit in the computer pocket. At some point I might replace the white grip and zipper pulls, but for now they look fine. I'm also considering adding some kind of removable padding to the bottom of the bag where the shoe pocket is so I don't lose things in the folds of that fabric, and securing the zipper on that compartment since I likely won't be using it.
