Customer Reviews The North Face Apex Gym Duffel Bag - Medium

Love love love this bag!! It's quite large and can hold more than just gym clothes! Will be using it for ski trips and as a flight carry-on. I only wish it had more pockets - maybe the next version.

Plenty of room in this bag. I use it every day to bring carry my uniform or gym cloths. I like the vented main compartment to air out my clothes. The secondary compartment has plenty of room too. I've been using it for about 8 months and it still looks like new.

Great weekend bag. Only downside is I'd like more pockets.

I use it to carry all my clothes/gym stuff pretty much daily... love it.

When I got this bag, I was unsure how big or small it was. I wanted a BIG gym bag to take to the gym when I swam and ran andon race days! When I got it.. I FELL IN LOVE!! I love how big it is, all the space, mesh at the top, lightweight, I can fit a ton of stuff! Best purchase that I have done in a long time

Perfect for the gym or a weekend trip. Very durable yet still extremely sleek and stylish.

I have really liked this as a bag for going to the gym and pool. It has separated compartments that easily keep my wet and dry items separated. The mesh venting on the top of one section of the bag also helps it dry faster which is an added plus.

This bag is very simple , which is fantastic . It folds down and can fit in my travel bag without me noticing it . It's exactly what I was looking for . I'm a hip hop guy and TNF has always been more of a fashion thing than anything else . The quality is great and he style is fire . Great job !

Not unique to this bag, but shoulder strap gets caught under when thrown down, frustrating a "free hand" pick-up. size and versatility more than make up for it in this bag though.

Funny story about this one... the online color description for the bag I bought was "TNF Black / Beige / Asphalt Grey". The accompanying image on the website was "not available". However, with that color description, I figured I would dig it, so purchased it anyway. Well, imagine my surprise when the bag that arrived was "Phlox Purple / Orchid Bouquet". I would never have intentionally purchased a purple and pink bag (no, really), but have to admit that it's unique, easy to spot, no doubt mine, gets smirks... uh, I mean looks, and functions flawlessly in spite of the color. It's kind of growing on me now. The compartments on both sides of the bag are ample. The barrier that separates them is flexible and allows for adjustment if you are carrying more in one side than the other. Leaving home, I typically carry my shoes in the vented side, with my clean gym clothes in the other (non-vented) side. After working out, I stuff my sweaty clothes in the vented side. Great design and function. Additionally, there is a decent-sized sleeve pocket in the non-vented compartment. I keep my headphones in there, but it would easily hold a wallet, car keys, phone, Prince CD, etc. There is also a zippered pocket on the outside of the bag, which would accommodate those same items. The carry handles and shoulder strap are well made, well attached, and perfectly proportioned to the size of the bag. The material used on the bottom portion of the bag gives it some structure, which is a great feature. I imagine it would also serve to keep contents dry if you happened to set it down on a wet surface. The buckles at the corners of the bag are a great design feature too, and do a nice job of compressing the bag if you don't need all the room. I like that it's simple, functional, and not tacti-cool. Crazy color, but easily the best gym bag I've ever owned. Because of the function, plus the street-cred I get with my daughters, I have no regrets about not returning it!

As a Group Exercise instructor that teaches several classes a day at different locations, I needed a bag that would hold a fair amount of gear, would store sweaty clothes separately, with zippers & seams that could endure. This bag fits all of that, and it looks great! My only disappointment is there is no pockets to store a water bottle. An outside pocket would make this bag a dream come true.

Use this duffle as a gym bag, however I could also use it for a quick weekend trip. It has a breathable mesh pocket which I put my wet bathing suit and towel in. It also has a fleece lined small pocket on the side, which keeps my phone safe from scratches. I would order another bag I like it so much.

Very satisfied with my gym bag. What's most important is the high quality, because previously all the other major brands used to rip quickly. Plus it's very spacious for the size "small".

I primarily use this bag for the gym and it's been perfect! I like that there are separate compartments to put your shoes in vs clean clothes. I got the small size and am glad I didn't go bigger because for the gym a medium would've been too much bag for me. The quality is great. Thank you The North Face for making another solid product!

Bought this to tag-team with my size S duffel that's also from The North Face for trips and to be a gym bag for every day. I am not disappointed in the slightest. There is ample space to hold my gym clothes, snacks, electronics, and resistance bands. I love how the main compartment is split into 2 to keep sweaty clothes separated (in a vented compartment) from clean clothes and love that the buckles in the sides help compress the bag when I need to stuff it into a locker. I've recommended this bag to anyone who stands still long enough for me to tell them and will continue to do so. I love the assurance that if it ever does tear or break in any way, there is a guarantee in the bag and lifetime repairs (a huge reason why I'm drawn to buy products from The North Face time and again.)

I use this bag every day for the gym. I love that I can separate clean and dirty items, and that there is just enough additional storage for small items like headphones and toiletries. Looks good, carries well. I had to get another one for the girlfriend so she's stop stealing mine!!

I use the bag for the gym and it is great. I wanted something small and functional and this fits the bill. I wish for color schemes were available. I picked all black

I use this product to carry athletic gear from swimming goggles and fins to my lacrosse cleats and helmet. I can also store my baseball glove for those quick pick-up games with friends. It is also an easy to use overnight or weekend getaway bag that travels easy!

Great, roomy bag. Love the color!

I wanted a work out bag that could separate my dirty clothes from my clean ones, especially when I am working out before work and have to be quick. Also, there is ventilation on one of the sides which I really appreciated for my gym clothes so they could breathe.

I bought this bag for my husband who uses it as a gym bag. He loves that there is a side for sweaty clothes and shoes. The bag is durable and compact and has been perfect!

Lightweight, stylish

Excellent bag for the gym or a weekend outing.

This is a great gym bag! I use it almost every day. It fits all my clothes, a couple pairs of shoes, and more. Plus, all the pockets inside are nice for hair ties, ear buds, etc.

Very high quality
