It's also very durable— in addition to a water-repelling shell, it also has an abrasion-resistant bottom and side panels. Whether on gritty sand, airport baggage conveyors, or in a metal gym locker, gym bags get tossed around and the extra protection will help your bag hold up. It also has plenty of pockets to separate and store just about all of your essentials, including a ventilated shoe compartment, a large outside zipper pocket for quick-grab items, a mesh pocket to secure your water bottle or snacks, and a smaller internal pocket for valuables. The best part? The duffel is machine washable and comes with a padded shoulder strap.

Fans say: "Bought this to hold everything I need for crossfit after work AND to put my work clothes/shoes in it for when I change AND my purse AND my kid's tablet for when he has to tag along...you name it. It fits everything and then some; however, even when it's not that full it doesn't seem bulky at all. Good quality. I'm obsessed with this bag."

The bottom line: Unlike a majority of popular yoga bag styles, this top-loading backpack is designed to secure your yoga mat vertically, thereby freeing up your arms and taking up less space overall.

On thing that's good to keep in mind, though, is the fabric is not water resistant.

Fans say: "The mat pocket in this bag is the best I've come across with an extra strap to keep it secured, I don't have to worry about it or check on it when I'm walking.

Several fans also mention how impressed they are by how much it can hold: "I found the pockets to be generously (and deceivingly) sized," reports one. "I wear size 10 womens athletic shoes, with that I pack a 32oz water bottle, jogging pants, hoodie, and under layers. In the side pocket I carry a few toiletries and earbuds, as well as [protein] bar. There's plenty of room for more."

Along with a dedicated shoe compartment, there's also a waterproof, PVC-lined zipper pocket to separate wet or sweaty items. Two outside mesh pockets are each big enough to hold standard-sized water bottles.

Fans say: "Super useful gym bag! Light weight, but keeps its form once packed. Wonderful for weekend trips or going to the gym. I love the wet pocket as well as the separate pocket just for shoes. Very handy and well made."

Notable features: It comes at a higher price than the other gym bags on the list, but this bag’s dual functionality and genuine leather details justify the cost.
