After reading a ton of reviews across many brands, it became clear that the idea of a dedicated shoe compartment is but in actuality it sucks because once your bag is fully loaded it’s almost impossible stuff the shoes in. The external shoe storage allows me store shoes (and boots) comfortably without creating creases which is a huge bonus when throwing leather boots or dress shoes in the compartment. If you are always packing shoes in your bag like me, then don’t be concerned with only having 26L. This bag feels like it can store more than my previous 35L OGIO. I think mostly due to the external shoe compartment combined with the more vertical shape of the bag. The only small issue I have with this bag is that I wish the top external storage was pocket was a bit bigger so that I could store more office related materials.
PLUS Backpack — Gym Backpack with External Shoe Storage and Flat-Packing Access
The PLUS Backpack takes gym bag functionality and reimagines it for athletes who prefer backpacks. With its external ventilated shoe compartment, it solves one of the biggest issues in gym carry: keeping dirty shoes away from clean gear. Originally designed for CrossFit, it’s the backpack built for lifters and athletes who need organized space and uncompromising durability.
Why the External Shoe Compartment Matters
Most gym backpacks force you to stuff your shoes in with the rest of your gear, leaving everything smelling like your sneakers. The PLUS Backpack fixes that with a dedicated external shoe compartment:
- Odor Control: Shoes stay separate from clean clothes and gear.
- Extra Space: Keeps the main compartment clear for larger items.
- Convenient Access: Slide shoes in and out without digging through your bag.
Flat-Packing Clamshell Opening
One of the biggest advantages of the PLUS Backpack is its flat-packing clamshell design. Instead of digging from the top like a standard backpack, the bag unzips fully and opens like a suitcase, making it incredibly easy to load, organize, and access your gear.
- Pack Flat: Lay the bag open and place items exactly where you want them.
- Quick Visibility: See your entire setup at a glance — no more lost gear at the bottom.
- Travel Ready: Works like a compact gym suitcase, built for athletes on the move.
Combined with the external shoe storage, this clamshell design makes the PLUS Backpack one of the most functional gym backpacks you’ll ever carry.
