Kookoomia Large Waterproof Gym Bag with Shoes Compartment
Kookoomia Large Waterproof Gym Bag with Shoes Compartment Lightweight Sports Duffel Bag for Men Women with Wet and Dry Separation Portable Overnight Weekend Holdall Travel Bag Black
I’m impressed with how well this bag is designed. The shoe compartment keeps everything separate, and there’s plenty of room for my gym essentials. It’s easy to carry as both a backpack and a duffel, making it versatile.
This gym bag is bigger than I thought it would be. The straps are a bit weird to get used to if you are use dto have a normal duffel bag. It has 2 straps that are like a backpack, but it’s a long duffel bag. You can really store a lot of stuff in here, so if you ha ve a lot of gear this is good for it. The construction of this is okay, not too thin and not thick, it’s a good starter gym bag.
Bag is large enough for everyday gym use. Like the separate sneaker section to keep your shoes away from your clothes. Nothing super special here, but if you just need a basic bag, it definitely does the job.
Feels like good quality construction. I like the choice of material on the outside, some sort of canvas. It feels like it would lend its self well to keeping clean, some materials are just dirt/dust magnets; but not this one. This is since it’s for my teen son for camping trips, and on his work trips (he works as a mechanic) The neoprene outer pockets are cool, would be ok to store a water bottle or cell phone for easy access but those pockets are pretty loose and not secure so don’t put valuables in them when in public or toss the bag around and not expect small items to dump out. The other outer and inner pockets are zippered. The zippers seem sturdy enough but the pulls could be a little bigger, I had to fish around to find the zippers and my hands are smaller than the guys’. The bag has plenty of room and you can get an average sized pair of men’s gym shoes in the bottom compartment without too much fuss, although I wouldn’t say it’s easy.
The only issue is the straps. They are just weird. The design doesn’t really follow with the “comfort style” over one shoulder style. They are too wide apart to stay on your shoulders to use as a traditional backpack. My 5’9″ model said they felt like they were falling off his shoulders and the bag, even with nothing in it, looks absolutely ridiculous as a back pack. The padded portion of the straps also was not long enough to use cross body style. The straps could be adjusted longer but the padded portion does not fall over the shoulder when adjusted longer. See picture where the toggles meet right at the neck line, a big discomfort if there’s any weight in the bag. Since he’s not going to be carrying the bag for long distances this isn’t a deal breaker, just carry it “normal” with one hand on the side; although again the padding hits at an odd place and feels jumble in your hand. Designers just trying to be too versatile with the design and missed the mark all together.
Over all, I like the look, pockets, and quality of the bag (except for those straps!) At the price point of $25 it is at the higher end of bags in its category but still not a bad value.
Convertible bag – duffel or backpack. The straps look a little weird when you use it as a duffel because they look like backpack straps but otherwise, it’s a good bag. Lots of space, lots of pockets, separate space for shoes and wet items.
The water bottle holders don’t hold on to the bottles if used as a backpack. Otherwise I find this product extremely satisfactory with a good pocket to put shoes in and also pockets on the sides for storing other items such as snacks. There is a pocket for wet or sweaty clothes to keep it separate from the rest of your stuff.
The material seems durable enough, The bag area for your shoes is big enough to put boots in but would take up half the bag. Not sure what use the straps on the ends are for other than they are likely to try to keep the somewhat cheap material that the ends are made of from tearing apart if you have anything with any real weight to it. The bottom seems to be somewhat padded and somewhat thick but no form to it. The outside pockets are decent and the pockets are nifty. The pocket on the side opposite the bottles has a space behind it. You could probably hang a damp towel around the pocket in the back as its really only connected to the bag by the edges.
Might make a better beach bag than gym bag. We shall see what I decide to use it for. I was a bit disappointed in its size and guess you get what you pay for durability wise. I liked the different pockets to try to separate some of my workout equipment from the clothing but not sure that really will be possible as most are under sized and definitely nowhere to put dirty clothes that are all sweaty. Maybe put the shirt and underwear in the “water proof bag”. If you take this to the gym 3 days a week you will likely be replacing it yearly where as my Under-armor bag has lasted me years.
It wasn’t the type I was expecting but it’s still cool. I love that there is a separate department for shoes. Great idea. I am giving it to one of my daughters. She loves it.
