I ordered this bag as a workout bag and it's great.  It's maybe just a touch too big, but not so much as to detract from its usefulness as a workout bag, in fact, the little extra size makes it a bit more versatile.  I could pack for a brief getaway or put a couple changes of clothes in it.  The quality of construction is very good and I don't have any issues with the handles like some other reviewers. I haven't had it that long so there's a chance the handles could wear a to a point where they easily disconnect.  I don't think it would be too hard to correct in that case anyway...a couple stickers on the inside handle would provide the necessary friction to hold them together securely.
