I have been using this Ogio bag for 3 months on a daily basis. Overall it is a fantastic gym bag with perfect compartment space:
-One zipper pocket has room for shoes, but there's also room in the pocket for socks, a belt and underwear if I want.
-The opposite side pocket is a the perfect size for my shower kit consisting of a body wash, shampoo, conditioner and a body sponge
-I use the front pocket to store my iPod and heart rate monitor. The front pocket has mesh storage, perfect for keeping a wallet, keys and cell phone.
-Center storage is good for a shirt and jeans as well as a shaving kit.

I admit I have no use for the special MP3 pocket. I really don't need to listen to music as I walk into and out of the gym, but I won't dock points for features I don't need.

My only complaints:
-I've pinched my hand in the plastic handle. It's much easier to open and close than those velcro enclosures, but exercise caution when carrying so you don't get pinched between the two sides of plastic.

-The bag is a little too wide for my locker, so I generally stand it up on end. Again, this one is me-centric, so I'm not docking stars, just FYI. If it was a little slimmer, it would be fantastic.

Despite my 2 minor complaints, I would not hesitate to buy this Ogio bag again. Quality construction and thoughtful design make this bag a good value.

I ride the bus so I do not have a car to "store" my gym clothes while I am in class or at work. This little bag is just right. I love the side compartments; the one for my shoes is nice because I don't have to wear sneakers all day, and it keeps the dirt and whatnot from the track away from my clothes, the other compartment easily holds my shampoo/conditioner/hair make up stuff. The main compartment has plenty space; I could easily fit in several days of workout clothes and still have plenty of room for a towel. Lastly, the front is perfect for holding all my whatnots (gym card, keys, mp3 player, hair ties, post workout shacks...).

Anyways, this a great bag, and definitely a keeper in my books.

Before I purchased this bag, I read all or most of the reviews for it. I couldn't find much, in the way of negativity about it, other than a few people who complained about the 2 piece handle. I have no idea why they would complain about the handle design. It's ingenious. The two piece handle interlocks and doesn't come apart unless you want it to. It's comfortable to carry, and I can't see "pinching yourself", unless you're holding it unclipped. One handle slides into the other, thereby interlocking them together, and you can't tell, by feel, that they're not as one. Incredible design, function and feel, and made of a top quality plastic that should last the life of the bag.

As others have said, the bag has more cargo room than you would expect. The one side pouch has enough room for your sneakers and used clothes because it expands into the center area when needed. The zippers are absolutely top quality and should never give you any problems down the line, as a cheap zipper system would. The extra shoulder strap works well, and the bag has individual air holes in each compartment to allow constant recirculation of fresh air into each area. I've never seen so much thought or design go into a product which, by category of use, serves such a simple purpose. I'd buy this bag again and again, although with it's 30 year warranty, I don't believe I'll have to....

Couldn't be happier with it's design, use, or style.

This bag is perfect. Just bought it, has a very solid, quality feel to it. I use this bag with an 'eagle creek 15" fold-it' pack to bring all of my work clothes to they gym in the morning. It fits everything I need and has a separate shoe compartment which is very convenient. The fold it pack is just slim enough for the bag at 10" so I can bring my work clothes, work out, shower, and dress in clean, unwrinkled garb very conveniently. Or I can do this in reverse order after work. There's enough room in the bag for a pair of work out clothes and comfortable after work clothes.

This bag is GREAT! I did a lot of reading / researching before settling on this bag and this bag turns out to be as good as the advertising described. High workmanship quality to this bag. The size is very good, I actually can fit in about 4 to 5 changes of cloths in here. The separate air-holed shoe carriage compartment is a great idea so I no longer have to mix in my stinky shoes with my clothes. THe shoulder strap is comfortable, but perhaps the only point I would take off is for the plastic clasp handles. They are sometimes hard to work with, especially if you just want to grab the handles and run. However, I do like the handle's "locking" mechanism. All in all, this is a very great bag for this price. It cannot be beat!

This bag totally exceeded my expectations. Has just the right amount of pockets in different sizes to organize my shoes, clothes, ipod, lifting gloves, wallet etc. Makes it so much easier to find what I need quickly. Took a suggestion from a previous poster to use Eagle Creek Pack it Folder (15) to carry my work clothes. The folder fits perfectly in the bag, keeps my clothes wrinkle free and eliminates the need to carry clothes on a hanger. I also use a pack it half cube to organize socks, belt and other smaller items. The hard plastic handle is cool the way it interlocks and is so much easier to open and close than velcro handles. The carry strap is comfortable and there are plastic d-loops on either side where i hang my combo lock and snap link with gym id tags. Not too big, not too small, just perfect is all i can say.

I love my new bag. It's great for carrying my workout clothes and supplies, with lots of roomy pockets. I especially like the soft lining in the MP3 player pocket. It holds my valuables nicely (Blackberry, jewelry, etc.) The shoe pocket is absolutely fantastic. I know some of the other bags have this feature also, but this is the first time I've ever had one. LOVE IT! The bag is well-made from lightweight canvas style nylon. I was worried that the bag might feel cheap but it doesn't! It is very attractive (black and grey model). The shoulder strap is very comfortable and made from some kind of material that resists slipping so it doesn't come off your shoulder as you're hurrying along.

I see that a couple of people have issues with the locking handle. It is simple once you get used to it. I haven't had my hand pinched in any way. If the handle doesn't stay locked, though, I would return the bag and get a replacement. The pieces fit together snugly to make it work correctly, so if there is too much difference between the top and the bottom of the handle, I can see where it could come unlocked. My works perfectly and is really comfortable and easy to use. It is an ingeneous addition... actually much easier than the velcro type of handle.

The bag is a bit large for my needs but this is a personal issue. I see that other people thought the bag would be better a little larger. I can fit my shoes in the end pocket which takes up about a third of the room in the center (I wear a women's size 8). I still have more than enough room for a change of clothes and a towel. I can even see myself traveling with this bag. Then I would really pack it full. This is a great bag...I would recommend it to anyone!

I waited months to purchase a new gym bag to replace my old off brand bag and after countless research I finally decided to purchase the OGIO All Terrain Duffel based on the great reviews.

There were a few things I wanted to make sure of:

1) Ample space-- I take two make-up bags, curling iron, and all my work clothes, Kindle and IPOD to the gym on a daily basis and it was really difficult to find a bag to fit all of those items and still fit into a standard gym locker. This bag holds everything and still has room for some extra's in the side and front pocket!!

2)Holds it's shape-- There is nothing worse then trying to put all of your items into a bag to only have the bag continually deflate as you are trying to rush and gets your clothes etc.. packed up. This was an unexpected suprise on how pliable the bag could be to fit into a locker, yet continue to hold it's shape so I could easily get all my belongings stored away in a neat and orderly fashion.

3)Comfort-- due to the amount of items I take everyday, having a comfortable, well built shoulder strap was a must. This bag doesn't disappoint. The shoulder pad is nice and comfy and the best part it stays put, it doesn't slide down the strap everytime the strap is down.

All in all this bag is worth every penny, and I would highly recommend it!

My daughter needed a bag for her Basketball team gear. She wanted room for wet clothes, shoes and a pocket for phone and Ipod and stuff. This bag has been great. It of course had to look good and function as well, If you are on a team and need a good well thought out bag this is a good option.

Top pocket opens largee enough to see everything. Wet pockets are big enough to fit shoes. End pocket holds water bottle and snacks. Plastic clips make closing easy with a comfortable handle.

I had a gym bag in grad school (Nike) that lasted for like 10 years. It was spectacular. The bag never got old, really, but I became bored with it. So last year I bought a new Adidas bag. Big, roomy and pink. Oh yeah, and constructed like crap. It started to fall apart within 6 months. Plus it was just TOO big and had no interior pockets. So I started researching a new bag about 2 months ago and found this one. It's big enough to fit my clothes, makeup, shoes and all the other stuff I need post-workout and yet not bulky. I would say it's "just right." And it has lots of neat interior and exterior pockets (one for the ipod on the exterior, which I appreciate). It feels fairly well-constructed so I hope to have a long and lasting relationship with this bag!
