        Comments about REI Cargo Gym Bag:

        I use this bag almost every day, whether it is carrying everything I need during the week (gym clothes, sneakers, work papers, books, water bottles, etc.) or when I get away on a weekend (hiking clothes/boots/rain gear or travel clothes/shoes).

        The bag has lots of pockets, including one zip and two mesh pockets on the inside of the main compartment, in addition to the two end and two side pockets. The mesh sections of the end pockets are especially useful for drying out my sneakers or hiking boots or giving damp exercise clothes some air so they don't get all stinky. Another great feature is that the shoulder strap adjusts to a very short length, which actually fits my short torso. I've tried so many gym bags that have long straps fit for men with long torsos, but this bag sits perfectly at my waist instead of banging me in the hip/thigh while I'm walking.

        I am always amazed at just how much stuff will fit in the bag - I have carried 2 pair of pants, a few tops, sweater, underwear, socks, shoes, toiletries, a liter water bottle, a magazine and book all together! My only (minor) complaint is that there are no double zippers, so the pockets only open from one end. But the horseshoe (u-shaped) double zipper on the top of the main compartment really helps to get the bag closed if filled to capacity. And it's still small enough to easily fit in my gym locker. This is a really fantastic bag!

          Comments about REI Cargo Gym Bag:

          I do really like this bag, but more for an overnight/weekend bag than for a daily-use gym bag. It's simply too big! I live in a big-city, so do not keep my gym bag in a car. Rather, I carry it everywhere with me and walk around quite a bit with it. This bag is just too big; I have plenty of leftover space and it makes it awkward to carry.

          Not a complaint that I thought I'd be making!

          Overall, it is a really great bag with nice features, good quality, etc. If you want a bag with a LOT of space, or if you are mainly going to keep it in your car, I think it would be great.

            I love the structure and well designed pockets for shoes and wet items. I use it at the pool and it holds my work clothes and work out clothes plus my size 13 shoes without getting anything wet or dirty that isn't already one or the other.

                Needed a new gym bag and found this one on sale on-line. Checked it out at the store (it looks much better in person - the pictures online make it look shinier than it is) and really liked it. It's the perfect size for my lunch hour+ forays to the gym. Holds shoes, workout clothes (winter or summer), toiletries and towel with some room to spare. Has 5 pockets for organizing things. Fits easily into a locker. Quality is great - I've been impressed with most of the REI brand stuff I've picked up. We'll see how it holds up, but so far, so good!

                Comments about REI Cargo Gym Bag:

                This bag is actually quite large, and I only go to the gym a few times a week. I use it only when I know I will be showering and doing my makeup at the gym and have to carry everything in the bag. Otherwise, I revert to my smaller gym bag for quick trips after work.

                I do like the small details put into the bag, like the numerous pockets for my hair products, and the little noose to hang it inside the gym locker. The shoulder strap is pretty comfortable and adjusts easily.

                The bag would be just perfect if it had better color options! I really hate the dark green. It would be perfect in a silver hue, dark purple, or baby blue (clearly I am female).

                Comments about REI Cargo Gym Bag:

                I absolutely LOVE this bag as a gym bag. It has vented pockets for my wet swimming trunks and gym shoes. My size 9.5 sneakers just fit into the side pocket; I kind of wish it was a bit bigger but hey, as long as they fit. Inside the bag, I usually carry (all at the same time):

                Sweat pants
                Sneakers
                Sweat shirt
                2 t-shirts
                Shorts
                Socks
                Swim trunks
                Water bottle

                With all of that, I still have a bunch of leftover space. Best of all, it fits perfectly into a locker, and has a nice strap to hang from. All in all, it might be a bit more expensive than some other bags, but you definitely get what you pay for. I'm glad I sprung for it!

                    Comments about REI Cargo Gym Bag:

                    Simply put this is a great bag. I use it daily for the gym. I workout at lunch so I carry everything in it... Daily items include - size 12 shoes in one end, lunch bag in the other, center compartment has clothes, mesh pocket on end holds the water bottle, other mesh areas hold hair gel, deodorant, etc.

                    I wanted a smaller sized bag that could hold my stuff without cramming it full and this does it. I am VERY happy with my purchase after over a month of usage.

                    Only drawback is the shoulder pad is a bit big and inflexible so I tend to carry it by the handle more. My REI doesn't carry it in store and I took a chance buying online and am glad I did.

                    Nice quality, surprisingly roomy, plenty of storage spaces. The wide, stiff bottom makes it tough to tuck into a narrow space, like behind a car seat - but it's the perfect gym locker bag.
