How to choose a gym bag in Egypt
1. Choose the right size
A 30 litre bag such as the MR 5045 or MR 5226 fits a daily gym kit. For weekend trips choose the 39 litre MR 365. For short sessions or swimming, the MR 305 is the lightest.
2. Look for a shoe compartment
A separate shoe compartment keeps dirt and smell away from your clothes. Six of the seven bags in this guide have a shoe compartment, pocket or bag. The MR 5045 instead has separate wet-dry storage.
3. Check wet-dry separation
If you carry a wet towel or swimwear, choose a wet-dry pocket, as in the MR 5045 and MR 3006.
4. Check the straps and handle
Look for a padded or adjustable shoulder strap and a strong handle. Some models add a luggage strap that slides over a suitcase handle.
5. Warranty and where you buy
Buy from an authorised agent. Our Mark Ryden bags come with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
