I bought my brother the Adidas Team Speed Small Duffel which is a great bag for weekend trips and gym goers. I am about to go on a 10 day international trip, though, and wanted a durable duffel bag that offered more space. I ended up choosing this one, and so far I like what I see. The exterior is stronger synthetic material that won't snag on hooks and can definitely take a beating. I bought the Medium, which is a perfect size extended trips. It doesn't feel small like the other duffel, but it's also not uncomfortably long like some bags. I bet you could sneak it on as a carry-on, but I'll be checking luggage anyway. The zippers feel very secure, and there are plenty of side pockets for small items. The shoe pocket is a plus if you want to throw in your running shoes or whatever. Again, I am using this for travel purposes but I'll probably use it for larger gym gear in the future. The strap is comfortable and can be removed easily. The grey and maroon styling is classy, making the bag look more professional than gym worn. If you're a coach and want to look good on the road, then you may be interested.My only gripe, like most of the other reviews, is the bag's actual dimensions versus what the tag says. Measuring from the base, the length is maybe 23 inches long. Whoever makes their tags needs to buy a new ruler. I like the size, though, so I'm not worried about it.All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase. I've backed enough clothes for more than a week (plus an extra pair of shoes) with room to spare. Adidas is solid brand so I'd trust them over random Amazon sellers.UPDATE 5/1/17The bag worked perfectly for the trip and will fit as a carry-on, assuming you don't pack dumbbells. Amazing bag, can't wait to use again.
