Sports Duffel Bag For Men Women Travel Luggage Bag Gym Bag with Shoe Compartment

I was looking for a new bag to carry to work. Since I've changed positions, I now wear a suit (the horror) instead of camouflage. And since I work in DC and live in the suburbs, I'm tied to public transportation.My old bag (a truly awesome leather messenger bag, the Journeyman from The Intrepid Bag Co) has been great. Stylish, and a good amount of pockets. It has worked well for me, and will continue to do so - just not when I need to carry a bit more to work.My needs now require me to bring in a pair of dress shoes (I wear more casual shoes while commuting), a small umbrella at times, a rain coat at times, my usual array of gadgets (phone, charger, ipad, etc...), my lunch sometimes, and any work stuff I tote back and forth. A tall order for a messenger bag.I'd seen the KP Duffle on Kickstarter, and was intrigued, but did not need a bag at that time (I did get my Intrepid Journeyman from Kickstarter, too). However, when I decided I needed a larger bag, I immediately thought of KP, and checked on it. Kickstarter backers had given it good reviews, and it was for sale on their website and, as of last week, Amazon. I paid $150 on Amazon (which was less than their website, but at the time of the review, they have increased prices to match their own website).Now, onto the bag itself. It's great. Has handles to hold like a duffel, and a shoulder strap to hold either on the shoulder of across the back. The PU leather looks pretty classy when I am in a suit. Bag is pretty big - the main compartment can hold a lot, and it has the shoe compartment I want for my work shoes, and a host of other pockets to hold things (iPad sleeve, tech pocket, hidden pockets for badge, two long side pockets for my Davek mini and a water bottle).All in all, it's a pretty slick bag, and I look forward to seeing how it holds up. For now, though, first impressions are that it will be a great commuter bag for me. If you've got questions, let me know and I will try and answer.P.S. On their website the KP Duffle includes a small toiletries kit in the same material (I got green with silver lining for mine, BTW). Amazon does not say that it includes the kit (which is why I thought my price was less than on the KP website). But, when I got it, it had the kit in their as well. It has velcro on one side to attach to the top of the bag, and I've put in a few less used gadgets (small flashlight, knife, and screwdriver). Not sure if KP will update their description to note that the kit is included. However, the seller (Keep Pursuing) has answered a question stating that the Dopp Kit is included.

Took my KP Duffle with my son and I on his schools Washington DC field trip as my substitute carry on. I was able to reinvent the bag somewhat by strategically 69ing my shoes. Instead of being able to fit one(1) pair of sneakers I was able to fit two(2) pairs in the side shoe compartment and still had room for a couple of t-shirts. I keep the bag with me on our tour bus because there was a chance of rain and sure enough it rained and the inside stayed completely dry. The true test of any bag is it's ability to expand. We all know that on most site seeing trips your gonna be being more stuff home then you left with...well this bag didn't do as well as I thought it would. IT DID WAY WAY BETTER! I will never travel without my KP Duffle it is now my go to bag. Now if I could only find a KP Zero G pack pack to round out this ensemble. Alas there sold out everywhere. Thanks KP I'm a believer!

I’m a sucker for unique designs and quality.I bought this to replace a freebie string bag I was taking to the gym. It was over-stuffed. I wanted something with a better layout. I prefer backpack straps but this is okay. It’s small enough for me — a short female.From the moment I got this, I felt the price was justified. This feels like soft luxury. I just like touching it. The pockets are pillowy cushioned. It exceeded my expectations. Every aspect of this is well thought out down to the magnetic buttons. Beautiful.If there’s one negative it would be that the bag scuffs easily. Out of the box there were scuff marks. But I think I got a used bag because of that plus the inserts were out of the accessories (see pics). I would use the included cover to minimize additional scuffs.I will definitely stick with this brand for future purchases.

The bag is great, I love it. The color however is a joke compared to what you see in stock photos and that's pathetic in 2018. I have the zero g backpack and that's also a fantastic bag. This is a great company but the only color accuracy they have is with their black bags. To me, you don't sell on what you wish your colors look like but what they actually are. Step up KP.

This bag has served me well for about a year and a half. It has proven to be durable on road trips & flights. It holds more than you would expect and has a great variety of side, end & interior storage spaces. All very well made!

Great, great! love the wet bag included...

Very nice bag, unfortunately the blue in the photographs online is darker than what I received. After trying to exchange it online for black and being unsuccessful, I finally returned it for a refund.

Good product, ideal gift!
