MIER Large Duffel Backpack Sports Gym Bag with Shoe Compartment, Heavy Duty and Water Resistant, Navy Blue, 60L,

I can't believe how hard it is to find a duffle back that is also a backpack. Well, there's a lot out there but not a true duffle style where it opens up so you don't have to dig to the bottom.This one was almost perfect for what I was looking. I really like the size and the wide opening of a true duffle bag that I could take to the gym. The quality and durably seems to be there for sure but the bag by itself is heavy and once loaded up, really heavy and the way it sits on the shoulders I find it to be uncomfortable. I walk about a mile from home to the gym and then a mile back so its fairly short in distance and I don't fully load up the bag, however its just to uncomfortable. Perhaps if there was a female-fit version or not as big (my torso is fairly short) it would work. Alas, I'm on the hunt once more to find the right gym bag for me and my needs.All-and-all, a very nice and well made bag that I'm sure would work for most, just not for me.

Solid construction, good zippers, is standing up well to my son's scouting adventures

The material marks easy, one flight and it was looking a bit beat up. I only returned to get a larger 80l full waterproof version in black which I have yet to receive. I loved the bag in blue looked great and was roomy. But just didn't cut it for anything longer than 3 days. The side shoe pocket was nice also. Only negatives was marked easy and 60l was too small for a 3 + day trip. Well constructed nice bag though.

I really was excited to get this bag because I love the backpack feature, but it's actually really heavy empty and when you put stuff in it it makes it even heavier to carry it around. I would have kept it if it was lighter because it seems like it's a sturdy bag vs other bags with the backpack feature. The weight of the bag may not be a deal breaker for some people, but for me it was

Just the right size, well made
