With my other bags worn out, I went looking for another gym bag. This one is a backpack style, the others luggage style. It has a lot of pockets for my shoes, towel, swinsuit, shower shoes, water bottle, book, cell phone, mp3 and tolietries. I have still empty pockets for other items. Also it is very easy to carry, the others were to bulky. Another plus it fits better in the gym lockers. I have had it a week and I use it everyday.
