OGIO Endurance 9.0 27" Duffel

This bag doesn't have the same transition ease as the TYR but there is a pocket for everything and the construction is very good. Doesn't take a thousand straps to hold everything together like the TYR product. I really like the vault for your bike computer, glasses, etc... The wet suit storage is amazing. No more swinging wet suit! The only thing that is missing from the bag is a hip belt to take the weight off your shoulders. An added plus would be a cell phone pocket on either the shoulder straps or the previously mentioned missing hip belt.

I purchased this bag to replace the Ogio "All Terrain Duffel Bag" which I loved but was too small for what I needed. Working full-time as a paramedic working on a shift schedule, I had some specific desires, and this bag fit them all.

I needed a bag that would fill the following conditions:

Pack it completely on the last of my consecutive days off, to take with me to my station for three days of riding in the morning after coming off shift, complete with before-ride and during ride nutrition, shoes, bottles, and all of my electronics;

Keep my helmet, Halo pro-tex, and Oakley lenses/cleaner all together INSIDE the bag;

Store all of the other accouterment essential to riding stored as well, including sunscreen, chamois cream, embrocation, extra gloves, arm warmers, leggings, shoe covers for cold weather, recovery drink mix, extra gels and other nutrition items, extra hydration drink mix, and so forth.

I still use this bag every day for my cycling gear and needs, and I can't imagine living without it now. I have one thing I don't particularly care for about this bag, and that's the lack of a shoulder strap, but to be honest it's not that big a deal to me personally. The straps permit it to be worn like a backpack, but I have never found any need to carry it that way either.

Just for the record, this is a LARGE bag. If you are looking for just a generic, everyday to-the-gym bag, this bag will probably be too much for that. This bag is definitely aimed at people who race, or do a lot of training on bikes (or triathlons), and really does an outstanding job at that.

there's a pocket for everything, I have all the stuff i want with me when i go ride and i know where everything is, after my ride i throw my sweaty gear in the vented pocket underneath, put my shades in the sun glass pocket and grab my recovery drink from the outside bottle pocket and I'm good to go. You can tell that they have really put some thought into this bag every detail is great, the handles that double as shoulder straps are comfy and handy, I love the vented sweaty clothes pocket, the sunglasses pocket was initially too small for the case of my Radar Switch lock glasses, but oh wait they have made it so that you can take the protective insert out of the pocket so it can fit larger glasses cases. they really have through of everything and the quality is great. the only thing that's a bit of a pain but there is no getting around is that if you stick your shoes in the shoe pocket and say, your camel bak in the opposite pocket, there really isn't a whole lot of room in the main pocket, particularly if you use the awesome helmet pocket. but really unless they found a way to defy physics there is no way around this.

I took this bag with me on a trip to Colorado and you would not believe the bag envy from my fellow riders.

I love this bag. Large separate vented area for wet / dirty clothes. Large main compartment for main gear. 2 side compartments, 1 big enough for 2 pairs of shoes. A hard case area for things like GPS watch, MP3, earphones etc. A cell phone hard shell area. You can carry it like a duffle bag or wear it like a back pack. The only down sides (and this is very minor) is it might actually have too many pockets. I can't find anything to use the smaller side nutrition etc pockets for. Luckily, they don't take much space, so I don't feel like any space is wasted, more like an option that I just don't take advantage of.

I have had many gym bags. I have used duffle bags, duffle bags with several compartments, back packs, etc. This thing is far and away the best bag I have had, and was totally worth the money.

I took this through an airport and somehow black grease from the luggage belt got smeared on the white part. I couldn't scrub it off. I regret buying white.
