There are several factors to consider when you are searching for the perfect gym bag for yourself or for a man in your life.
Consider first what will need to be carried in the gym bag. This will differ depending on the individual and the type of sport they are involved in. For example, a triathlete will need to carry different things in their gym bag than a weightlifter. Begin by making a list of all the items you need to carry.
Don’t forget to include toiletries for after your workouts, a change of clothes, shoes, and any accessories you may need, such as weightlifting straps or swimming goggles. You may even need space for office supplies or a laptop if you plan on heading straight to work after hitting the gym.
Unlike other types of bags such as a briefcase or crossbody bag, bigger is generally better when you are considering which gym bag to purchase. A gym bag that can hold several items can be useful as a weekend bag or carry-on as well.
One thing to remember, however, is that your bag needs to fit inside the lockers at the gym you attend.
Gym bags can come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. The most common type of gym bag is a duffel bag but almost any style of bag can double as a gym bag including backpacks, messenger bags, classic totes and even a briefcase. Backpacks are probably the easiest and most comfortable to carry.
Gym bags can be made from almost any type of material, but nylon and cotton canvas are the most common. Heavy-duty nylon is very durable and won’t cost much. A cotton canvas bag can look cute and double as a general tote bag. Canvas is also a highly durable, easy to clean material.
A leather gym bag can look very classy but might not be completely practical as a place to carry sweaty clothes and stinky shoes. Leather can’t be just thrown in the washing machine, and it needs to be kept fresh by oiling and gentle cleaning with special leather cleaners.
If you walk or cycle to the gym your bag is likely to get wet at some point, so make sure you buy a bag that is made from water repellent or water-resistant material. If you carry an iPad or laptop in your bag, it is even more crucial that you find a water-resistant bag.
Some gym bags are made specifically for outdoor adventures. These bags are typically abrasion resistant and are perfect if you are worried about your bag getting torn or damaged.
