Hi all,
I'm looking for recommendations for a bag from Tom Bihn that could be used as a swim bag and ultimately a gym bag. I'm also open to other ideas/other manufacturers, but I'm sort of looking to stay away from those big Speedo backpacks since they look a little unwieldy to wear around. I currently use a duffel bag right now, but there's basically no organization, which sometimes gets annoying as the little things like keys/wallet/phone get lost in the bag.
In the main compartment would be: towel, fins, pull buoy, kickboard, and normal clothes. The only other large item would be a water bottle, one of those big 32 oz Gatorade squeeze bottles. Other things in the bag in the smaller compartments would be the things like keys/wallet/phone, goggles, etc.
I have a synapse 25, and the main compartment won't fit everything, so I thought maybe the brain bag would be good, since it's one of the largest backpacks? Though I'm concerned the big 32 oz gatorade bottle won't fit in the mesh water bottle holder, and whether or not the brain bag can hold all the things in the main compartment (towel, fins, pull buoy, kickboard, and normal clothes).
It seems like TB doesn't have duffel bags except for the aeronaut, which would be overkill for swim/gym I think.
Does anyone have experience using a TB bag for lap swimming, and in particular, the brain bag? If someone that has a brain bag and swims could do a quick test pack, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
