I ordered this item to serve as my gym bag to hold my sneakers, socks, shorts, T-shirt, watch, iPod, and possibly a magazine. When I received this bag via US Mail (which arrived several days early), I was surprised to find it to be smaller than expected. For my needs it should be ok, but I was expecting something about 15% larger. Also, there's only one side pocket on the outside and a small interior velcro-ed pouch on the inside. The shoulder strap is sewn on the bag, so it isn't removable. The bag does have a small meshed window on one end for ventilation which is nice.

So if you need a very small bag for a minimal number of items to take to the gym, this bag will do.
