Gym Bags For Men
Gym bags for men will differ from gym bags for women for a variety of reasons. Now, I’m not saying that, as a man, you can’t have a pink bag with butterflies on, but you’ll get some strange looks in the locker room.
Hardwearing – It will need to be tough. Your bag will suffer from being bashed into doors, stuffed into lockers, kicked and crammed full of clothes. A bag that falls apart after a couple of days if a waste of time and money. For that reason, make sure you get something that’s well made. You get what you pay for.
Spacious – You’ll need plenty of space. Even if you wear a suit to work and ‘gym it’ beforehand, there’ll need to be enough room for
- Exercise clothing
- Shoes – maybe more than 1 pair
- Toiletries – probably a spare deodorant, hairbrush, toothbrush, aftershave, razor. You name it, a veritable bathroom cabinet could well be lurking in your gym bag.
- Accessories – heart rate monitor, headband (haha I hope not), weight gloves, weight belt, towels, water bottles.
Compartments – You’ll want to keep your sweaty socks away from the rest of your clothing. A space for your shoes, a wet towel . A secure space for jewellery, a watch, your phone, ipod, headphones, car keys.
Looks – You’ll want something rugged in a manly color. Well kept enough to say, I’m a serious gym user and I take pride in myself and my belongings. Appearance isn’t everything, but why pay good money for something that looks unattractive?
