Best gym bags for men 2019: From duffels and backpacks to boot bags
GYM bags are a must have for gym goers, golfers, swimmers, footballers and other sportsmen.
Whether you are going to a fitness class, the gym, swimming , fencing, boxing or any other sport, a trusty gym bag will help you get organised and make sure you always have to hand everything you need.
So what are the best gym bags for men to buy this year?
For males searching for larger bags, a holdall, duffle bag or backpack is for you.
But for those looking for something smaller a bumbag is just the ticket, as it can hold your absolute essentials.
However, others may be on the hunt for alternatives to a gym bag, and need something to home their sports equipment such as a boot bag for their running spikes or football boots, or even a golf bag.
Either way Sun Selects has found the best gym bags for you.
