It's been crafted from recycled materials and we're pleased to confirm the exterior is 100% waterproof too. The padded straps (which are also removable) and front fastening made this bag comfortable and secure to dash around London with. The only caveat for us was the fact the water bottle holder is on the inside of the bag, not the outside. However, we appreciate it probably wouldn't look as attractive with a bottle poking out the side. The main body is made from recycled polyester, so it’s water resistant. But the bottom of the bag has a soft, rubber textured material, so if it gets dirty when you put it down, you can just wipe it off. It’s also available in two other neutral colours, which will work well alongside any work/gym outfit. This tote is perfect from taking you straight from the office to the gym. Inside we found there was loads of space to store our everyday work essentials, from our laptop to lunch, and we had no problem fitting our gym kit and trainers in alongside these. If you do decide to use this solely as a gym bag though, you’ll even be able to fit in extra accessories with no problem, like a weightlifting belt. Speaking of which, the material of your bag is important if you intend to carry wet swimming trunks and a damp towel home each evening. Waterproof rubber or neoprene is good for the swimming gear and shower stuff, but the inferior airflow of these bags means they can start to smell if not aired out properly.

The Barrage Duffle works perfectly well as a large gym bag. The tote straps make it easy to carry the bag in hand or throw it over the shoulders, and there is just so much space for anything and everything you might want to include in your gym bag, including shoes, towels, skateboards, etc. I'm pretty sure you can fit a smaller foldable bike in the Barrage Duffle if you want to. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ The Kit Bag from Stubble and Co offers substance and style.
