Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Ultimate Performance: Speedo Deluxe Ventilator Equipment Backpacks for Sports and Everyday Use by Christopher Jackson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Large swim bag for luggage and travel gear

I live in the city and bought this bag to go to the pool. I go to the pool every morning before work and straight to the office. I used to use a regular old backpack and it was absolutely gross because it's airtight. Everything is wet and just gets gross when it's there. I needed something well ventilated. I searched for "mesh backpacks" and all the others that I found to be either very flimsy or to stash exercise equipment, meaning they were huge and not intended to be used as a backpack. In the end I chose this bag. This works fine for my needs. I keep my wallet and phone in an outside pocket to keep them hidden. The outside pocket is quite large; I can put my iPad Pro in there and leave some free space. As for the main compartment, I can put my swim trunks and a towel in it and it will only be 1/3 full. I could definitely fit 2-3 more towels in. I can easily put on my wetsuit there. Let's talk about the length of the bag. I'm 5ft 9 inches tall and this bag sits squarely on my hips. So to me it looks like a pretty big bag. The reason I didn't give this product 5 stars is because like all other mesh backpacks there is no padding at all on the back which is a shame. Same goes for straps, it's basically any simple strap you find on regular duffel bags. If you carry something heavy, they will bite right into your shoulders. No padding. But then again, for my need to lug wet towels and wet trunks to the office, let them sit for 8 hours and dry a little, and then lug them home to be washed, this works great!
