Best gym bags according to redditors

Their workout bag is one of the best. Had it for four years without any problems.

They make suit bags that fit underneath the seat now, which fixes the problem unless you have a bulkhead seat.

Personally I always travel with a carryon that fits under the seat so I never have to worry about bin space. This gym bag with wet pocket has served me well for several years and fits a lot more than it looks.

Ew so gross. And guys all this stuff is available dirt cheap on Amazon - the duffle, hair clips, etc. No logo but still literally the exact items! For example: https://www.amazon.com/UltraClub-Liberty-Bags-Barrel-Duffel/dp/B00ZDMFBCW/ref=asc_df_B00ZDMFBCW/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312143214145&hvpos=1o7&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2365173891849928444&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011893&hvtargid=pla-570204826711&psc=1

I wouldn't right out say that someone would regret not buying physical things on trips. They might enjoy their trips differently.

I second the first idea to pack an extra collapsable bag if you're ok with flying home with two. Amazon has a few cheaper ones like this: https://www.amazon.com/Foldable-Travel-Duffel-Luggage-Resistant/dp/B019HIP8X4

If you're also thinking of buying souvenirs for friends, I would suggest skipping the little trinkets and sending them a postcard from wherever you are, which can be more personal.

You need a hockey bag my man. I can fit my drums, both guitars and my Xbox easily in this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OD5K6DE/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1510344693&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=hockey+bag&dpPl=1&dpID=41FNMg4HT-L&ref=plSrch

I bring a bag like this on every trip I take, just in case:

Easy to pack, and worth it whether you use it or not.

This backpack was linked lower in the thread. Maybe this clear backpack with a ‘privacy’ cover will work. It might not be big enough for you, but if you have someone going with you they can hold the rest in a second backpack. Also, if you contact Niantic and tell them you will have your stuff in searchable plastic inside a different bigger pack, maybe that would work.

Two options I've used here:
For games I know I like, I either design or use others designs for Artscow bags. They have both drawstring and zip canvas ones (the latter best for game transportation)
https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/190164/direct-links-artscowcowcow-draw-bag-designs/page/1?
Plenty of promo codes exist, if you're trouble finding one I'm happy to generate one - PM me. The best deal here is 10 bags for $20 shipped. There's also a Geeklist with completed bags which should also give you a feel for the size of them.

For games which either require a ton of bags (Castles of Burgundy) or just to have extras, I bought a set of these:
Dozen Bright Color Canvas Drawstring Bags https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004XDBSEW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_W3xzzbMGP2TJX

I think they're a little narrower than my husband likes for drawing tiles but they're not too bad. I use 4 or 5 of them in CoB.

https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Gym-Bag-2-0-Compartments/dp/B07GSJ45CF

The original box works fine: Put animal tiles, knowledge tiles, goods, buildings, and the center black tiles each in their own smaller portion of the insert. Leave them there for gameplay - when pulling new tiles just grab out of there without looking like you're pulling out of a cup. Everything else can get dumped in the big section since none of that needs to be randomized.

But I bought a set of novelty bags on amazon after a few games of that, and moved my copy of Agricola out of bags and into this box (which, incidentally, is superior to plano since it has rounded bottoms for each compartment). Now the 5 types of tiles that need to be randomized in Castles each have their own cloth bag, and workers, silverlings, castles/mines/boats, and everything else have their own plastic bag respectively.

oops, sorry! This is what I get for clicking off articles and forgetting they have referral links. See below for edited.

So my first thought was the knomo Grosvenor Square but at $180 it's more than a little out of your budget. However, I would look at knomo and baggallini on eBay if you don't mind used. If I remember correctly, baggallini was designed by flight attendants so they are super travel friendly and there is a great selection of them on eBay.

*I know that knomo one is olive and still $60 but I've seen black ones for about 40 before, you just have to watch.


EDIT: I found some more options, though I'm not as sure of the quality.

• This one from amazon
  
• Another one from amazon. This one looks a little more like a laptop case but has a cross body strap.
  
• Related to flight attendants, this bag from My Pilot Store seems like it has everything you want.

I purchased a few of these (not the exact ones) a couple years ago! I made sure to get a bright color that would be unique and easily recognizable when mixed in with a bunch of other runner's bags. They were cheap and I am not worried about losing them. I also make sure to line the inside of the drawstring bags with a plastic grocery bag if the weather is rainy just to make sure my supplies stay dry.

Yes! It's very nice when walking around the airport. I used to always carry a backpack, but having a bag on my suitcase is so much more handy for getting things out of my bag.

I have this bag from Amazon, and it's surprisingly well made for only being $40. My only complaint with it is that I wish the handles were attached with a bracket or something so they would lie flat against the bag when not in use. The same company also has this bag which has the kind of handles I want and looks bigger. I might have to get that one at some point.

It's literally just a drawstring bag.

I use the hayabusa mesh bag. Holds two pairs of gloves shin guards and headgear with room for more. More importantly it let's stuff air out. Very durable mesh as well.

http://www.amazon.com/Hayabusa-70L-Mesh-Gear-Black/dp/B004KATMBO

I use a 30L Nomatic for work/travel and a small washable bag in the side pocket that has all my gym stuff -- lockers at my gym are broken into often. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072PR2ND1/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_i_lGjmDbWJ2M4VR

The game is over once all the jewels have been taken/discarded. You do not get your adventurers back, they stay until a dragon is defeated. The reason could be, because some magic cards let you love the jewels from one dragon to another, therefore screwing the other people over.

I love this game and used to bring it out regularly, but had to put it aside for a bit, so it doesn't get overplayed. I always play with the Advanced Rules.

The only problem with the game is trying to distinguish between the gold and silver gems.

The bags are a good idea. Here are some that might work really well, I own some myself, but don't know if they match EVERY color available in the game. It comes with 12 bags (2 of each color), so you might be able to use the extras on another game.

I'm now thinking about purchasing these again for this game. It will come in handy when using the blind thief ability. Thanks for the great idea.

I am a soccer/drawstring type bag carrier.....best I could find....not going to like the plastic against skin feel I bet...

I'm 6' 1'' and just recently went to this bag: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OD5K6DE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I did have a roller bag, and I love my new carry bag in comparison, it's cheap, has a couple side pockets, and it's actually lighter than my roller bag was.

This was back in March or April. Some shit went on her lap and some food had to be purchased on site, but we made it work. And man was it worth it to take an empty Big Sur in my NC.

Edit: Oh, and for those interested, I found this invaluable for planning. It's about the size of an NC trunk and my apartment at the time was up 3 flights, so helped me plan what would fit before lugging shit up and down.

On recommendation, I picked these bags up with the purchase as well

I didn't know until today that there were expansions

I'll check them out eventually, I've been making a rule that I need to milk the base game to almost boredom before purchasing expansions, no matter how good they are. Saves money on expansions for games I don't even really like and increases longevity of the game.

Here's how I have Bora Bora organized, http://postimg.org/image/e5gwy4ctz/

All the player pieces are in separate bags. The men, women and goal tiles are in separate bags. The other chits are in the plastic containers.

The plastic containers are from Dollar Tree and the bags I bought from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XDBSEW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These are the ones I got for Bora Bora and CoB. The colors are perfect! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XDBSEW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got this no name bag from Amazon. Been holding up.

I haven't used the wet compartment as a wet compartment yet but I have this bag and like it!!


SCIONE Sports Gym Bag for Men Waterproof Travel Duffel Bag for Women with Wet Pocket & Shoes Compartment (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MJWY8XX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_pbSADbSRGQYG3

I got this recently and really like it. I got the yellow because it was cheaper but in person it's actually kind of a really light yellow green and imo looks nicer than the picture. Seems well made. Has quite a few pockets, a separate one for shoes and a wet pocket. I highly recommend this.

How strict are they on the bag dimensions? Thinking of picking up a drawstring like this one

​

It's 13 by 18inch but it's not technically a backpack. Would it be worth it to pick up something like this? Or will they provide something for you to put anything you may have in your pockets or whatever you find at the con in?

Here is the mobile version of your link

Amazon bags. They work fine but aren’t the same colors as CoB.

I use these: https://www.amazon.com/Dozen-Bright-Color-Canvas-Drawstring/dp/B004XDBSEW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1473900990&sr=8-6&keywords=colored+drawstring+bags

The colors don't match perfectly but I just labeled them and it works great.

I bought this one recently and I’m loving it for the price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00UZP2TFE?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Nothing fancy, just a big duffel with water resistant fabric. Not sure how well it’ll hold up but seems like it’s decent quality.

Not OP, but I bought these and I'm returning them. They were very poorly stitched. The yellow one was falling apart the second I opened the packaging. If you have any sewing skill, drawstring bags are not that difficult to make. I've made one for Carcassonne tiles and am in the process of making another for Alhambra. Pretty decent tutorial here.

I really like my Everest, which I heard about from Wirecutter. It's got enough pockets, easy to clean, and a separate compartment for my smelly shoes. $25.00

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GUQCGK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Buy. It's easily me and my girlfriend favorite game. Once you're familiar with the game set up and break down plus a game is like 30-40 minutes. It's great. Also I highly recommend bags! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XDBSEW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I can't recommend them enough. It makes setting up and putting away the game so much faster. The artwork kind of sucks but think of it that you're getting an amazing game for half the price as you'd get for the same game with fancier artwork.

Many people carry a small collapsible daypack within their larger pack which is an option to hold electronics and valuables while in transit in the way you are suggesting.

As another option you could work on reducing your stuff so it all fits into a smaller pack (20-25L).

I use a 21L pack but my wife and I tend to like buying food, snacks, and drinks to bring back so I've run into the issue of how to do that. On my last trip I brought this 40L packable duffel ($17) which fit easily into my pack. It fit a ton of goodies which we just checked in on the way back. I was pretty happy with how it worked out and it added a lot of optionality for me. Maybe something like that would work for you.

After seeing your comment, I searched around on BGG which led me to these - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XDBSEW

They're not coming in until next week, but I hope they fit well!

Also using it for Castles of Mad King Ludwig

Thank you! Looking into packable day packs, I found some duffle bags (example). This seems to be a pretty good solution.

how about this one ：https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5JX9YR ?

Most people I see use something like this to manage their belongings. Drawstring backpack.

I got them from a different seller and they are not listed there anymore, but this is the same product

Bag 6

I have one of these folded up in the inside pocket of my jacket for just such an occasion. You guys might want to invest in one!

This is the one I ended up getting.
