Smart gym bag options include a laptop compartment!
Whether you’re already active, want to get back into it (or just want to look like you are), chances are that you want to look good doing it. That means more than just what you’re wearing – your accoutrements affect your carefully chosen style. Regardless if you’re a student or a business exec, a gym bag (for men) is often our go-to satchel, so choosing one that fits your overall style is worth the extra time, money, and effort.
Many of the things to consider when buying gym bags for men are intuitive, like what size you need, your preferred design and function (backpack, duffel, multi or single purpose, etc.), and your aesthetic tastes. For more points to consider, follow Live Well 360’s link.
Unless you’re only looking for something to just hold your gym clothes and toiletries (a single-purpose option would likely suit your needs if this is the case), a multi-purpose bag is probably your best bet. Although it’s mentioned in the above list of considerations, arguably one of today’s crucial accessories is a laptop, so a laptop compartment becomes a key consideration in a multi-purpose bag. Although many bags will come with some form of space for a laptop, having a padded storage compartment provides protection for your tech. The added benefit of a padded compartment is that your bag could also double as carry-on when travelling, which is a smart choice and boon in gym bags for men on the go.
Form and Function – both, with style!
There are various materials to choose from, ranging from mesh to leather, with each having particular benefits, ranging from ventilation to waterproofing. Wherever you’re going to the gym from, leather always looks classy, and it ruggedly accents a variety of personal styles – which is one reason why it’s still a favoured material. It’s definitely a great choice without sacrificing function for form!
High-quality nylon is also a great option. Not only is it waterproof and easy to clean, but it’s also highly durable. When you’re looking for nylon, be selective because many products claim to be robust and durable, but they’re made with cheap nylon that won’t give you the longevity that your money is worth. Premium ballistic nylon is a great material to consider, especially with a reinforced frame (and a specialty compartment to safely store your laptop perhaps?); quality materials make for long lasting and stylish gym bags for men.
As said before, gym bags are a modern man’s go-to satchel. Gym bags, for men, are generally bought to be functional and suit their needs, but also to be stylishly flexibly so they can be coordinated with various outfits. Knowing what style you’re looking for, the purpose of your bag, what options and compartments you’ll require (like a padded laptop compartment), and the quality materials you want will empower you with a powerful visualization of what you’re looking for in a stylish and multi-functional gym bag. Don’t settle for less than you deserve!
