DALIX14" Small Duffle Bag Two Toned Gym Travel Bag

I needed a new gym bag and wanted to downsize a little from my old one. I thought this would fit the bill for my needs. The quality of the bag appears good and is very functional. I have a little bit of a hard time getting all my gym stuff in it, however. I pack my gym shoes, shorts and tee shirt and a full-size towel. I have to fold the towel just right to get the zipper closed. So far I'm pretty happy with the bag, time will tell.

I just wanted something inexpensive for daily trips to the gym pool. The size is enough to hold the basics: swimsuit, goggles, swim cap, sandals, bath towel, plus small items like phone and wallet, and not really packed tight. I got the "gold" which looks yellow in the photo and it is indeed the yellow as pictured. I like that it has a side pocket because I wanted to put my phone and car key in there. Unfortunately the pocket is not very wide or deep. I have an iphone 13 MINI and it fits, but only sideways so I just keep the phone in the bag and use the pocket for easy access to my car key. The shoulder strap seemed short but it is adjustable so I am happy with that.There was a small scruff mark after one trip to the gym so if you are bothered by things like that, stick with the dark ones.So I have no major complaints other than the side pocket being just a notch above not having one at all. If it was a little larger, or if there was an interior pocket in addition to the outside pocket, I'd give this 5 stars. But for the price you can't have everything.Some reviews mentioned a smell. It is not that bad. I notice it when I am handling the bag but it definitely isn't permeating a room with the smell, and I'm sure that will fade after a few uses.

This bag has no rigid spine, so you can smoosh it together into the dimensions that satisfy any baggage cop who wants you to place it in the overhead bin. If you prefer to keep your travel documents, tickets and money close to you at all times, this will suffice. It holds a lot! My only wish is that it had some internal compartments. Every time I had to locate my passport or boarding pass, I had to place the bag on the floor and start taking out stuff until I found what I was looking for (which always seemed to be at the bottom!) The shoulder strap is handy but seems to catch on everything. It's a keeper.

Got this as a secondary bag for my little athlete. It’s perfect for practice, but for travel meets/games it maybe a little too small.

The DALIX 14" Small Duffle Bag was much sturdier than I had anticipated. I ended up purchasing a second one as a travelling tool bag. I'm quite happy with the purchase.
