Best Gym Bags for Men – Fitness Style Up

While a handful of guys imagine that choosing a gym bag is a no-brainer, the truth is that there are actually some important aspects that must be considered when embarking on making a selection that fits your unique style.

For starters, storage space is critical, and bigger may not always be better. The type and durability of material too, are important, as is the bag’s functionality. You don’t want a bag that has zilch options for separating your sweaty boxers from your clean clothes and toiletries. Launch into our list of the best gym bags for men and figure out just how you should style up!

And packing this bag is a bliss too, what with four exterior pockets and one interior zipped one, which ensures organizational efficiency. An abrasion-resistant bottom and tough side panels give the promise of extended durability.

OGIO International X-Train 2

Pro: Laptop compartment
Con: No large main compartment

Shoe Compartment: For a bag that will fit a 15” laptop quite comfortably while providing a dedicated shoe, dirty gear and wet items pocket, the X-Train 2 is well constructed and amazingly compact. This does mean that you will not be able to pack a whole lot of gym equipment here; though the various compartments allow you to pack all manner of things with utmost convenience. The helmet strap, however, may prove useless for most buyers. This bag is ideal for one looking for a smaller than the average gym bag.

You will find its two exterior pockets, as well as the interior, zippered one, convenient when using it to pack for light travel during the weekends. Handle the zippers with care though for breakage is quite common.
