The reviewer reports that the main compartment’s D-shaped opening limits visibility compared with traditional duffels having a wide middle zipper. The ventilated shoe compartment fits footwear up to men’s size 13 and keeps shoes separated from other gear, the reviewer reports. The elastic bottle pocket stays flat when empty and expands for larger bottles, including a one-liter Nalgene, according to the review.
The removable shoulder strap uses thick padding and adjustable hardware, and the reviewer says it makes heavier loads more comfortable. The rectangular Aer Gym Duffel 3 stands upright on its own, which the reviewer says makes access easier in gym and office settings.
