If you’re going from your home to the gym, you can be more intentional with what (and how) you bring your things. I’ve usually thrown everything into a drawstring bag or I’ve used a bag that doesn’t have any organization. Since 2020, I’ve been spending a lot of my time running outside, all around NYC.įor times when I’ve gone to the gym regularly, my gym bag has been such a mess. Personally, my fitness patterns come in waves. I’ve totally designated a few bags toward the gym over the years. The Fit Pack 3 is sort of designed for the gym-goer. There’s one at the top, and there’s one that sits flush on the back part of the bag. I literally turned the back upside-down to dump the water out. When I was on my trip in Canada, I filled up my tumbler, and must not have closed it all the way, because I noticed a small puddle sitting inside when I took my bottle out. The water bottle pockets are also semi-waterproof. I have this Simple Modern tumbler and the Aer Fit Pack 3 has no trouble accommodating it. They can expand to fit large water bottles, too. When you’re not using them, they don’t flare out like some bags do. They sit flush with the bag, and have a feature to expand when you apply pressure to the inside. The actual pockets for your water bottle are nice.

I’ve mostly used this backpack with one water bottle, and I enjoy being able to pick the side on which to carry my bottle. You might want to bring a water bottle for during the class, and a bottle of a hydration drink, for afterward. This feature shines when you’re going to the gym, or bringing this bag to a workout class, because you can bring multiple drinks with you as well. I recently used it as my daypack, flight personal item and work bag on a trip to Canada.Īnyway, let’s get started with all the features, impressions and worthwhile-ness of this unique laptop backpack that can hit the gym.

Becca liked the bag, but I liked it more! I’ve started using this bag for when I go to work, which only strengthens the case of how good this backpack is. We actually received this bag from Aer when writing about the best backpacks for women. In this (completely unsponsored) review, I’m going to highlight some of the things I’ve enjoyed, some of the things I don’t like and everything in between, regarding this sleek backpack. It’s not perfect, but I’ve really enjoyed using the bag for work, travel and fitness. I welcomed the Aer Fit Pack 3 to my collection of backpacks and daypacks. Or, the bag feels too bulky for what you need it for. It always seems like you need a little more space. I have found, of course, that there’s no perfect bag.

Over the last few years, I’ve tested and accumulated a lot of different backpacks.
