First off, I LOVE the color options! Went with the navy blue and it’s exactly as pictured—deep, rich, and not at all ‘basically black’ like some reviews claimed. The gold zippers add a nice pop too.

The size is PERFECT for my gym routine. At 17x9x9 inches, it fits snugly in standard lockers (unlike my old bulky bag that always got stuck). Pro tip: If your gym has tiny lockers, stand it vertically—works like a charm.

Material feels lightweight but durable. Yes, it’s polyester (not luxury leather), but for the price? Amazing. No weird smells either—mine arrived fresh out the package.

Now, the pockets! The dual mesh ones are ideal for quick-access items: protein bars, earbuds, or my slim water bottle (fits 2.5” diameter easily). Don’t expect to stuff a giant Hydroflask in there though—common sense, people!

Major win: The wide-opening main compartment swallows my gym gear + weekend trip essentials. Towel? Check. Shoes? Check. That random hair dryer I insist on carrying? Double check.

Only gripe? The mesh can snag on locker hinges if you’re careless. But honestly, after 3 months of abuse, mine still looks fresh.

Final verdict: If you want a $100 bulletproof bag, look elsewhere. But for $25-ish? This is a steal—especially in that sleek black/gold combo!
