Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 26 reviews.
The bag has a large capacity and is made of high-quality material. The straps are anatomically shaped and generally comfortable. However, I would prefer them to be a little wider. The interior has Velcro panels that provide shape and can also be used to secure a belt, but I find them uncomfortable; they lock the belt to the bottom of the bag. Any powerlifting belt is moderately heavy and wide, and securing it to the bottom would interfere with the shoe compartment. I would also prefer more pockets inside the bag; there's only one. The pockets on the outside are fine. The material doesn't appear waterproof; at best, it's slightly water-repellent.
Ich habe die Tasche seit knapp zwei Wochen im Einsatz und bin bisher sehr zufrieden. Hervorzuheben sind die Aufteilung sowie die Möglichkeit, die Tasche ebenfalls als Rucksack zu tragen. Endlich passt mein ganzer „Krempel“ (2 paar Schuhe, Lifting Belt, Dip Belt, etc…) bequem in eine Tasche und lässt sich auch schnell finden.
Tolles Produkt! Die Verarbeitung ist fehlerfrei, die Aufteilung durchdacht und funktional, und die Rucksackschlaufen sind gut einstellbar und bequem. An Wochenenden laufe ich vier Kilometer einfache Strecke zum Gym und zurück ohne jede Probleme mit dieser Tasche. Die Preis-Leistung ist außerdem hervorragend.
Klare Empfehlung.
Probably the best hybrid bag for everyday stuff. Earlier batches or at least my bag suffered from poor quality zippers. They've opted for higher spec zippers and after test driving a new bag for a while now, they don't seem to be as flimsy as before. Also, shout out to strength shop's support for remedying the situation👍

Thank you for the great feedback! We're glad to hear the updated zippers are holding up well and that our support team could help out. Enjoy the bag, and thanks again for your trust! 💪
A bag like this would be better in a thick canvas fabric, snaps or magnets instead of velcro to hold a belt, and not black on the inside to be able to see what's in it. And at least one line of velcro for name/flag patch on the outside!

We'll pass your input along to our product development team for future updates. Thanks again for your support!
Würde die Tasche nicht erneut kaufen, da sie insgesamt unpraktisch und unbequem ist. Für einen Preis von 99 EUR bietet die Tasche zu wenig Mehrwert; ich hätte sie zurückgegeben, wenn dies möglich gewesen wäre. Habe schon Ersatz gekauft und benutze die Tasche nach nur 1-2 Monaten nicht mehr.
Positiv:
- Schuhfach ist praktisch und von außen gut erreichbar.
- Robustes, stabiles Material.
Neutral:
- Tasche ist geräumig, dadurch aber auch recht groß – die Größe entspricht den angegebenen Maßen.
Negativ:
- Kleine Öffnung zum Hauptfach erschwert den Zugriff, besonders wenn die Tasche vollgepackt ist.
- Kein geeigneter Getränkehalter: das vorhandene Außen-Netz ist zu klein für einen Shaker; innen gibt es keine Halterung.
- Innen kaum Organisationsmöglichkeiten, lediglich eine (gute) Mesh-Tasche vorhanden. Die faltbaren Teiler im Inneren helfen kaum weiter; Inhalt fliegt beim Transport durcheinander.
- Zwei große Außentaschen sind ungünstig geschnitten (zu lang und schmal), sodass ihre Nutzung eingeschränkt ist; lediglich zwei kleinere Außentaschen sind brauchbar.
- Schmale Schultergurte machen das Tragen als Rucksack unbequem, besonders bei voller Beladung.
- Keine kurzen Tragegriffe vorhanden, auch kein optionaler Schultergurt

We apologize for the zipper issue that you were experiencing - this is clearly nothing we want for our customers - so we are very happy that you have found a great solution with one of our customer support agents.

I love the separate shoe compartment. It keeps my shoes isolated from my clothes so everything stays fresh and organized
