The Ultimate Gym Locker Organizer Backpack: Solid Black

I can't tell you how many gym bags I have gone through looking at ways to optimize my morning workout routine and get ready for work. My big requests for a gym bag are that it has seperate compartments for clean and dirty clothes, a way to hold dirty shoes somewhat away from everything else, and large enough to hold hair dryer / straighter in addition to the other items I have.ENTER THE GLO BAG - Wow I can't give this product enough stars. I have had the bag for a little over two years now and will never return to another gym bag. I workout in the morning which means I need to have room for gym clothes, towel, and work clothes and everything else I need to get ready.Pros: This bag can hold EVERYTHING AND it does it in a way that you can easily get to everything in your bag which is a huge bonus. I hang it up in the locker and unzip the flap and can easily and very organized way access what I need when I need it. I usually wear my workout clothes to the gym, so I can neatly fold work clothes into the top compartment, the middle compartment holds my toiletries / hair dryer for post workout/shower time, and the bottom compartment holds my shoes and flip flops for the shower and has a breathable opening so they don't make the whole bag smell and so the shower flipflops can dry. Also there is a separate bag that you can take to the shower with you to hold all your dirty clothes. There is a larger pocket on the back of the bag where I put my straighter, lock for the locker, and goggles for the pool. The bag is durable, comfortable on your back and can hold absolutely everything I need it to.Cons: If I had to have any complaints about the bag is that it can get small quickly, I put shoes and flip flops in the bottom compartment and it's a tight fit, I don't have exceptionally large feet but I imagine if someone did they may struggle to fit everything in. Also in the winter when I wear bulkier items I find that the top compartment gets small quickly especially with a sweater or sweat shirt, jeans, boots, etc. Also there is a pocket on the back of the bag that is hard to access if the bag is in the locker. None of these cons are enough to take ANY stars away from this exceptional products. I highly recommend it!

Pros:I love the form, well made with great material, fits perfectly in a locker.Feels like its priceCons (Design Improvements Needed)1. A large carabiner clip. This bag works best when you hang it from the rod in the locker.2. Should be able to stand on its own.- When I bring it home or set it down, it won't stand up straight and falls over unless propped against a wall.3. Front door should open like a hinged door.- The big U-shaped Zipper door falls down instead of opening like a door.- Ideally the door closes and latches with a magnet or velcro or a latch- It requires 3 times too much zipperingzip up to the top of the bag and then bag downthen unzip smaller top compartmentduffel bags open much quicker- As the door falls down, it blocks the area underneath the bag- Things fall out of the outer pocket if you haven't closed the door pocket4. The interior has button snaps to hold the levels together and removable shelves.- I wish everything was fixed or at least better secured.Hope that there's a v2 with some improvements.

This bag looked cool at first, and it is, somewhat. I used it for a couple of years.I like the three "shelves" inside the bag which really separate what you want separated: Shoes, towels, and gym clothes. I like the small pocket built into the door, and the small pocket on the other side. I also like that it's shaped like a backpack. The handle on top is pretty solid.A few things really didn't work for me. 1.) The bag is sized wide, and it didn't quite fit in the standard-sized locker which my gym has, which meant I had to shove it through the doorway every time. 2.) There is a flexible metal rod (or spring) which goes from one corner of the door to the other corner. After a while, this rod broke out of one of the corners. I lived with it for a while, but it became a pain. I attempted a sewing repair once, but it only lasted about a month before it tore again. 3.) The shelves themselves weren't as solidly affixed as you'd like, and came unfixed often, although it was fairly easy to re-affix them with velcro. Still, they felt flimsy. In addition, there is space enough in the back and sides of shelves for items to fall through to the level below, and this occurred often.I paid $90 for the bag in 2015. I don't feel that the value was quite worth that price, but it was a fair product and idea.

First order received was defective (internal snap issue). The second bag received about Jan 14th developed a zipper issues in early March just after return policy deadline. Took it to a luggage repair location and they said it was so poorly made that we would not be happy with any repair short of replacing the entire zipper and would not work on it for obvious value versus repair cost comparison. Do not waste time with this product.
