This bag is big and keeps everything I need for the gym at hand.  I thought when I bought it that I would use the separate wet pockets at either side of the bag, but I've just ended up throwing everything in the middle.  The reason is when I put my shoes in the wet pocket, they protrude so far into the bag that I can't get my into it to access anything else easily.  The pocket on the bottom also seemed like a great idea, until I found myself using it only to store my flip-flops, which would have fit better into a mesh side sleeve or something.  Overall it works, but I could have done without the side pockets to give me more room, and could have forgone the entire bottom pocket to make the bad slightly smaller.  I still use it daily for the gym, but I may keep looking for my perfect gym bag.
