adidas Defender 4 Medium Duffel Bag

This is actually my second time buying this bag. The first one was four years ago and the only difference from this bag is that the first one was red with two small differences (the red has a mesh venting while this one has some holes for venting and the this one has a zip bag in the main compartment which is something I like over the older one). Both have been used as equipment bags for my sons playing football and the first one has just made it through it's fourth football season and is still in perfect condition.The bag has a large main compartment area that is large enough to fit football pads and helmet with other stuff it in such as a ball. It also has a zipped bag in the main compartment that you can further store some small things like keys and phone or whatever else that you do not want loose in the bag. There are two compartments on either side of the ends of the bags. One is vented and the other is not. The vented side has a few holes in it which I would have preferred how the older bag had mesh as football can get stinky and airing out some things helps alot but this is livable. This has plenty of space for my son to store his cleats, gloves, drink, towel, phone, etc.It has a strap and handles to carry either way. There is also a loop on the bottom of one side. I assume that is to grab and pull towards you when getting it out of wherever it is stored but maybe it is more useful than that and I just am not aware of how to use it properly.From how they are built and put together and the 4 years of the older bag I got- I expect this may end up being used for a minimum of 6 years until the boys get to High School and likely will opt for a bag branded with their school.... even so, we will have two solid bags to use for other things after that. I highly recommend this bag and it can be used for many different things beyond being a gear bag for football.

The size works well for the gym or short trips. There is plenty of space in the main compartment for clothes, shoes, and gear. The end pockets are helpful for separating smaller items and keeping things organized.The material feels durable and the water-resistant bottom is a nice touch for setting it down on wet surfaces. The only small issue is the shoulder strap padding could be a little better for longer carries, but it works fine for quick trips.Decent gym bag that holds up well and has enough room for most needs.

I bought this Adidas bag on Amazon and it totally exceeded my expectations. It’s durable, comfortable to carry, and has enough space for everything I need: change of clothes, towel, water bottle, shaker, accessories, and even my sneakers. The compartments are well-designed, which helps me keep everything organized. The design is modern and sporty—perfect not only for the gym but also for short trips or casual outings. I’ve used it a lot and it still looks like new. 100% recommended for anyone looking for quality and style in one product.

Nice bag, bigger than I thought it'd be. Fits a lot of things. I wish there was foam or something to make carrying it on my shoulder more comfortable. I've used it as a gym bag and a carry-on for several trips now. Would buy again 100%

This is a great bag. I was back and forth between the medium and the small for quite a bit, trying to discern if the medium would be too bulky. I took a chance on the medium and was pleasantly surprised at its storage capacity without being too bulky. It really is the perfect size for a weekends worth of clothes+shoes+toiletries with extra room, and without being overly big. I only took a star off because the bag is a little thinner than I expected, and honestly a big crinkly? Unexpected, but a great bag nonetheless. Highly recommend the medium if you’re unsure between the small and medium, especially since the medium is actually cheaper for some reason. Good bang for your buck.

One of the best duffel bags out there in terms of build quality, design and retaining shape.I had bought the Small version of this bag (Defender 2 I think at that time) and it is still in use as a gym bag. I have loaded it with clothes filled to the brim, heavy gym equipment but it is still going strong.This bag is no different. it has slight design changes but it is on the same lines as the earlier one.The intricate honeycomb design gives it a stylish look and the zippers quality, pockets are top notch.The material is not super thick but very strong and that also helps make it foldable. the strap length is long enough to carry it with ease.Recommended
