Overall impressionsĬlearly a lot of thought went into the design of the ISOPACK. I have not been asked to write a review and was not provided anything for free or as compensation for writing this or for any other reason. In its defense, I loaded it the hell up and it was very heavy, and damn if I didn’t miss the wheels on my usual roller bag.ĭisclaimer: this review is completely and totally impartial. I was visiting family in Oregon and knew I’d be hitting the gym daily, so I wanted my gym bag and usual goodies and also wanted to see how it would fare when stuffed with clothes and into overhead bins on the plane. ![]() I’m writing most of this review on a long Delta flight from Portland to Atlanta, having just taken this bag with me as my carry on and only piece of luggage. It also has a large, slender pocket that holds a laptop or tablet – it holds my iPad Pro comfortably. It’s a backpack style bag with a large (huge, really) main compartment, a small front compartment, mesh pockets on the sides for 4 shaker cups/bottles, a couple smaller pockets, and also a separate pouch for cold storage with a removable insert (the main compartment of the bag just gets about 5” deeper if you remove that insert). In the end I settled on the ISOPACK from Isolator Fitness. Just the ability to keep maybe 2 meals cold is typically what I need at most. I don’t need to take meals with me often but when I do, it would be nice to NOT have to bust out my first generation 6 Pack Bag that is itself falling apart by now, and also far too big for what I typically need. So I went back to the drawing board and searched again…this time specifically thinking I’d get something a little nicer – higher quality materials, and ideally a food storage/meal prep bag also. It actually served me pretty well for over a year, until eventually it started to fall apart (it was pretty cheaply made…duh) and it’s shortcomings became more and more evident. But it had the organization and features I wanted, and at that price I figured it was essentially disposable so even if it was trash it wasn’t a big loss. In the end, I purchased a gray duffel bag with mesh end pockets for $11.99 from I’ve long been a believer of the theory “spend your money where you spend your time” and I spend a LOT of time with my gym bag. There was a feature set I knew I wanted, and I didn’t really care where along the price range the right solution landed. I searched high-end options, cheap-ass options, and everything in between. ![]() I was recently in search of a new gym bag as my old one was A) seriously lacking, and B) looking like it got left outside in the rain a few too many times.
