Nike Unisex Brasilia 9.5 Training Duffel Bag (Medium, 60L), Black/Black/White, MISC

Why it's worth it

Sixty liters of straightforward duffel with a zippered inner compartment for dirty shoes and sweaty clothes, plus a coated bottom panel. It's the no-nonsense choice if you want a lot of space and don't care about weather resistance or travel polish.

Sixty liters is a lot of bag. If you're a lifter hauling shoes, belt, sleeves, straps, a towel and a full change of clothes, the Brasilia 9.5 takes all of it without a fight. It's also the one to grab for a weekend tournament or a team practice where you're packing for two days. Most people don't need this much room. Some people genuinely do.

The zippered inner compartment is the part that matters day to day. Your muddy trainers and your damp shirt go in there, your clean clothes stay out here, and nothing cross-contaminates on the ride home. Nike also coats the bottom panel, so setting the bag on a wet locker room floor or a parking lot doesn't soak through to your gear.

• –At 60 liters it's easy to overpack and end up carrying a heavy, floppy bag on one shoulder
• –The strap is basic. If you're carrying it more than a few blocks loaded, the Under Armour's padded HeatGear strap is noticeably…
