the perfect gym bag: suggestions?

[plazdiddy]

hi guys...i was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions about gym bags. my little tumi messenger bag is constantly on the verge of busting open with the sneakers, clothing, etc and i feel like this needs to be replaced. my only requirements are a separate pocket for stinky shoes/wet clothing...however, being a slave to style like everyone else on these boards, i'll try anything if it looks bangin.

oops...looks like you guys already had this covered. some relevant links popped up from search that are pretty solid:

lol, good work.

I think the gym is one area where people on here don't really care how they look.

Function > style/fashion at the gym

I like Paul & Shark's offerings, though I'd like them more without the giant damn logo on the side.

I use a gym bag that I made myself in 7th grade for "Home Ec" class. We had these sewing machines, and we had to make a bag. Who knew that 10 years later I would be using the same bag five times a week. It hasn't even begun to wear, which shows how poorly made things are today.

It looks pretty sweet too, kind of the AA aesthetic in solid blue with white straps.

I use an old deck bag I found while cleaning out the garage at my parents' house. It is made of heavy canvas with some sort of rope looped through eyelets. After a bleach wash along with some clr & a scotchbrite pad, it looks brand spankin new.

Check out this brand http://ecsotype.com if you have extra bucks to spend on. They are super expensive at $600 range. But they look awesome.
