This is a great bag for a woman who goes to the gym toting a minimum of equipment. It doesn’t scream “I work out!” like some gym bags. It says “Going to the gym”. The lack of pockets is a curious thing. However by leaving them out they’ve maximized the interior space.

Where the Adidas Diablo Small bag is quietly effective the Grip Power Pads duffle is meant for those who take their gym bags seriously. It’s a big bag with lots of space and plenty of pockets.
