Perfect for the Gym

By Ranked #328 - Overnight Backpacks (2000 - 2999 cu in) September 2, 2009

So far, I love this bag. For awhile, I was searching for something simple to hold my rope, harness, shoes, chalk bag, and water for my commutes to and from the gym. I ride my bike there and bag, so some kind of a duffel wasn't an option. I wound up with this bag and have been really pleased so far. I takes all the above stuff, plus plenty of smaller items, like a wallet, clif bar, and water bottle. It fits quite comfortably, and I'm totally happy wearing on my bike ride to the gym.

Some of the cool things about it, off the top of my head:
- Great fabric -- it's the strong stuff that they use in my Timbuk2 messenger bag.
- Cool design -- it's very thoughtful how the zippers and everything are put together... clever.

Only downside i can think of is the price -- it ain't cheap. That said, I bought another smaller, cheaper Black Diamond bag before this one, and had to return it as it wasn't large enough.
