Gym / Work Bag Combo - Ideas

knk on 18/04/2017 - 15:22

Hey guys,

Been searching for a little while for a bag to take to work on public transport, which won't look too out of place when visiting clients. Essentially a giant laptop bag would be suitable.

I'm in the IT industry and will occasionally have to visit clients directly from the office(via PT) and won't be going back there afterwards, hence the requirement.

So far found this, which looks to be my best bet but it's quite pricey at ~$270aud and I can't find any pics aside from the promo ones. The material could be a little nicer looking though.

    I don't have any solutions (sorry) and am also interested in what is available. That bag you listed seems ridiculously overpriced though.

    AER looks quite nice https://www.aersf.com/gym-duffel-00019

      Nice but hardly professional looking in my opinion? Maybe I'm thinking too far into it.

    get the aer gym bag or check on everlane.com

    • knk on 18/04/2017 - 16:12

      not a fan of the AER one but this isn't bad.

        yeah if your aim is to get something that's professional then you should also look at something like: https://store.gearpatrol.com/products/travelteq-x-gear-patro…

        I have the everlane weekender and it's HUGE. easily fits my work laptop and gym gear easily with heaps of room to spare.

        • knk on 18/04/2017 - 16:32

          Thats good to know, how is the everlane's quality? Happy with it?

          That gearpatrol one is really nice but a touch more than I wanted to spend to say the least lol.

          @knk: too early to tell the quality of the everlane bag. ive only had it for maybe over a month now.

    Woolies can give you plastic bags for free, if you ask.

    • knk on 18/04/2017 - 16:10

      Like a true businessman!

          And they're grey, so perfect for a formal business environment.

    I also work in IT and see a lot of people rocking up to meetings in suits and carrying backpacks - no one seems to bat an eyelid….

    • knk on 18/04/2017 - 17:08

      You probably have a point there. It's my own business and I over analyse most aspects lol

    I've seen alot of doctors use these kind as gym bags. Large and looks good.

    • knk on 18/04/2017 - 19:29

      It's quite nice… But that price

        doctors. They get free drugs, so they have to spend their money in other ways.

    jack spade canvas foundation locker bag ;)

    • knk on 19/04/2017 - 00:04

      Can't actually find it for sale, pics look good from what I can find.

      • Crownie on 19/04/2017 - 21:59

    Ended up getting this from Myer, They have 40% off at the moment. I think it looks passable, not the best but hey now I can work out at midday!
