Mens Gym Bags in Gym Bags

What size bag should I get for the gym?

The bag you get for the gym depends on what you need to carry. A 30L to 40L backpack should offer enough room for a change of clothes, a towel, an extra pair of shoes, and toiletries. However, a duffle-style bag offers better access to your items and provides space for a jacket if needed.

What are some special features to look for in a gym duffel?

When you're toting a duffel to the gym, you want one with a comfortable shoulder strap that can be adjusted and a padded handle. Make sure a duffel has plenty of interior space and a variety of extra zippered compartments for a smartphone, wallet, and toiletries. More handy features include extra-long zipper pulls and bottom rubber feet to elevate the bag slightly and keep it clean.

What can I carry my essentials in when I run?

For running, shop for a lightweight workout bag that looks like a slimmed-down backpack. Worn like a backpack, this bag features comfortable shoulder padding and a zippered pouch just large enough for your phone, wallet, keys, a light raincoat, and a small towel.
