Gym bag help please - exacting requirements!

[AnotherFuckingUsername]

I'm looking to replace my gym bag and can't find anything which matches my requirements:

• hold-all style
• rectangular in shape (not barrel or tapered at the ends)
• black (preferably matt)
• no obvious logos/branding
• hand and shoulder strap
• some (not many) pockets (for keys, phone, headphones so small in size - I use packing bags for swim / gym gear, toiletries, clothes etc).
• reasonably big size (about 50cm length)

Rains or Stutterheim would fit the bill had it not been for the pocket requirement. I'd like something that will last - it will get thrown about.

Budget - up to £130, although if less then fabulous.

I'm finding myself going backwards with this one and wondering whether I should go Rains / Stutterheim and get a little 'valuables' pouch for the stuff I'd ideally like to keep in a pocket - but this feels like a compromise.

Any links or brand recommendations appreciated (I've tried the usual suspects of SB, Nike, Adidas etc)!

You have exactly the same requirements had but with a bigger budget!

I've had this for the last few months now and I absolutely love it.

Thanks for sharing @WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa . How is it wearing after the couple of months? Re the outer material - is it 'catchy' (say on a raggy nail)?

It's still perfect, no issues. Material not catchy. I really like it.

I'm really pleased with this. And it was a very good price. Large waterproof pocket and decent size shoe bit. Fitgriff® Sac de Sport Homme &... https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07CN3PVVB?ref=ppxpoppmobappshare

Thanks @fassnk - this was more the type I was looking for and think the pocket situation would be acceptable. Not sure about the obvious logo but could let that one slide.

I didnt realise what youd said about the logo until after id posted, but i really like this bag. Also use it as carry on on a plane, useful for that too.

You should look at sailing bags, fabulously hard wearing some with pockets. I have McWilliams but this one might suit you?

Use a black sharpie to go over the white tick/logo

Thank you, Everyone, for suggestions and links. I'm getting close but nothing is yet perfect! (Maybe good enough?)

• Rab: colour is wrong and haven't found this size in black (colour acceptable as not bright)

• Helly Hansen: logo

• Patagonia: possibly closest

Nike (linked above): very close to what I'm looking for but would prefer stronger / waterproof material

Rains : great but no long shoulder strap. However, thinking about it, this could be desirable rather than essential.

Any others for the shortlist?

What about this from Gymshark? Seems to meet your requirements from what I can see?

I swear by Dakine bags as they've got lots of waterproofing/insulated pockets and they're quite rugged as they're a surf/mountain biking brand. Their only black duffel one has a massive logo though!

Away brand have great pouches if you go for that option. I use in my work bag.

I have two of the mountain equipment ones posted above in different sizes, had them about 15 years and they look like new.

Not sure if this would be large enough...

Or was going to post the same gym shark one as a pp has - it's also available in two other sizes

I was going to suggest this because I have the same in orange.

I have packed in it...

A change of shoes
Towel
Bikini
Change of clothes (shorts and t shirt)
Big makeup bag
My mini gym rucksack (kipling firefly up)
Water bottle

There is a medium which is a bit bigger but because I'm a small person the small looked and felt better on me.

I bought this and used it for the first time today!

got this for my DD for Christmas. You can get 15% off if you sign up for the newsletter. I thought it was absurdly priced when she showed it to me, but it is actually lovely quality and does look good in real life, although not vast internally). Arrived really fast too!
