This bag has a nice look to it and I guess if you will be using it as a gym bag it will be fine.  My purpose was to use it while traveling to carry my tablet, travel documents, headphones, other miscellaneous items.  I desired a bag that wasn't too big but not too small.  This bag was a bit bigger than I expected and the material was thinner than expected.  It seems durable overall, but I didn't like that the bottom wasn't sturdier or taunt when an item like my tablet or book was placed inside.  Clothing, towels and items like that probably won't cause the bottom to sag.  But solid items like books, small laptops, tablets, etc. will seem as though they are going to push through the bottom.  I returned the bag since it didn't fit my primary need.  If the bottom was sturdier I would have kept it.
