Comments about REI Tech Beast 40L Gym Duffel:

I finally replaced my old gym bag with this one - and it was the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. It is just the right size, lightweight, holds all of my stuff, and looks great. I plan to buy my husband one for our anniversary. I would definitely recommend this product.

Made of good material. Has great use of compartments, I like the water proof end compartment for putting my wet sandals and other wet items after my work out. Fits in the locker nicely. I really like the over the shoulder strap that swivels so that no matter how I slip in over my shoulder the strap never gets twisted. Great bag and would by it again. I can recommend this for purchase.

Comments about REI Tech Beast 40L Gym Duffel:

This is the perfect addition for going to the gym, and anything that involves separating your dirty clothes from the rest of your gear. I know there are two sizes, and glad I went with the smaller of the two because it is just right. There are just the right amount of features with loops and pockets to help keep your stuff organized.

Great looking and well designed bag with weak link being light weight zippers that are not in line with the quality of the other parts. The zippers jam and are simply too small and flimsy.

Comments about REI Tech Beast 40L Gym Duffel:

I have been promising myself for over a year I would write a review for this product because of its design qualities. Assuming the manufacturer is the same then I have nothing but the utmost praise for this product. When in the hanging configuration it helps me to be organized and to follow a set routine for change of clothes, shower, etc. at the fitness center. For me, I have found it best to re-zip each compartment as I go through the routine.

Perhaps a little more room for size 12 shoes in the end compartment. Also, while hanging, the carrier strap tends to flop down over the arc of that end's zipper but that is a very minor complaint considering the overall performance.

Comments about REI Tech Beast 40L Gym Duffel:

Needed a small bag for hauling my stuff to the gym. Looked at several different brands, but the most common complaint on other brands was not enough separate pockets. This bag meets all those needs. It has plenty of pockets and the separate shoe space is a huge benefit. I typically stuff this bag with running shoes, several pairs of shorts, shirts and socks, plus a UA cold gear storm sweatshirt, plus shower needs, body glide, blender bottle, protein bars, headphones and of course a lock - all at once. This bag holds a ton for its small size. The outside loop to hang the bag on a hook is also a plus. I'd definitely recommend this bag to friends.

Comments about REI Tech Beast 40L Gym Duffel:

My complaints with this bag are minimal. My two biggest complaints are two that I knew I would have looking at the bag online; however, I made the choice to buy the bag regardless because of the other aspects I believed it would excel at (it does). To preface this: I travel a lot for work and frequently spend weekend trips seeing friends in other states/cities so I'm rarely gone longer than a few days, a "Long" trip may be 4 days on average, but most last from one to two days. This bag is perfect. The shoe/dirty clothing bag is great and fits my boots, which is an awesome plus the interior pockets are awesome; however, I do sorta wish the inside mesh ones had a zipper. The capacity is perfect for my travel trips and the colors of the black/dark green with the bright accents are good looking. It looks better than I expected and has more room than I expected. The bag is designed so that one side is padded to be against your body, while it's not the most attractive thing, I can't help but like it because it works. My two cons are the way the carry handle is actually on the top flap; I'm getting use to it but i would be happier with the two traditional handles. My other con is I wish the outside pocket was a little larger. The Pros far outweigh the Cons on this bag and i recommended it to anyone looking for a midsize bag for their travels.
