Fitness: Double Deluxe Duffle
Posted September 13, 2006 5:16 PM
Guys and duffle bags can be a tricky thing. Every store in the world offers their version of what they think we, as guys would want to have included in the bag. To be fair, they usually get some of the important stuff right like the shoulder strap, the nifty side pockets, and a few other features.
But will it have a padded shoulder strap like this one? Will it have heavy-duty zippers? Will it have brass hardware and water resistant fabric? I’d have to guess no, no no and no. The trick is to not only have all of the bells and whistles but also be able to have it all dolled up in a good-looking package. I want my duffle bag to look so good that random hot chicks will walk by me and say, “nice bag.†Can your Big 5 bag get that kind of attention? My guess is NO. Back to the cool accessories for a moment, how many bags have you lost in your lifetime? Two? Three? Twelve? I’ve lost some pretty sweet bags over the years and not to say that a three initial monogramming of your name is going to keep it safe from being lost, but it sure does help. I also want my bag to look like a guy’s bag. Too often I see these buff dudes at the gym with these sweet little peach and floral colored bags that are just a wee bit too pursie looking for my taste. Nothing says, “hey look at me I’m gay†more than the wrong style, non-manly bag slung over your shoulder. Word to the wise…don’t borrow the wife’s gym bag. It has tampon pockets for a reason, mister. Throw down a few bucks and buy your own. Better yet buy it as a great guy gift but buy one for yourself while you’re at it. Two birds…one stone, ya know what I’m saying?
