Overland Montecito Gym Bag Giveaway

Posted on Mar 22nd 2010 11:00AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed Under: Fitness, Reviews & Products

Too many of us are still using the same oversized duffel bag we had back in high school or college. Or, we're using beach bags, laptop totes, or other random bags to carry our gym gear. What you need is a grown-up gym bag -- one that's small and sleek but still has room for all of your stuff.

We found just that! The lightweight Overland Montecito bag will hold everything you need for the gym (or the weekend), but doesn't take up a ton of space. That's Fit had a chance to try one out, and we found that the two roomy compartments allowed us to easily separate shoes and clothes, while the zippered pockets provided storage for makeup and keys. Plus, it even has straps for a yoga mat!

Even better news -- this week, you have a chance to win one of your own!

I use an old, raggedy duffel.

I use on old bookbag tote that my daughter once used.

I currently use a large plain duffel bag for my gym stuff, but it doesn't have any compartments or even a zipper across the top (just a single snap button). It would be great to win a bag like this to keep my gear organized!

Would love to win this as I currently don't have a gym bag and am confined to bringing whatever will fit in the pockets of my hoodie.

I use a small bag that doesn't hold the necessary items that are needed at the gym. I have had this bag for years and have used it for everything. I sometimes have to empty it and fill with the item for that day.

I use a Nike backpack. It's way too small for when I have more then one activity in a day, but I suck it up because it's one of those things that doesn't occur to me to shop for.

I use a small backpack my roomate got as a gift from the 2002 Revlon Run/Walk for Women. It is a nice and comfortable little pack, but it is falling apart now.

I carry a book bag.

Megan 3-22-2010 @ 11:26AM

I use a (cute) messenger to carry my stuff to the gym. Problem is that with the gym gear inside, it's STUFFED with no room for my lunch or anything else I want to take to workl. I feel like a bag lady.

Erin 3-22-2010 @ 11:28AM

I use an old Adidas bag that is all stained and beat up!

L Doerer 3-22-2010 @ 11:32AM

I use a small cheap Nike bag I got on clearance at TJ Maxx for 5 bucks.

Tiffany 3-22-2010 @ 11:36AM

i use an old, dirty athletic drawstring bag from college to carry things to the gym. There are no compartments, just one big area, so everything gets mixed up and dirty clothes are in there with clean clothes, etc. this would be so helpful!

We use the e style grocery bags - free giveaways style or about 1-2 $'s. No great loss when someone forgets the bag at the gym.

I would love to win this for my husband since he carries everything for work and his sports games after work in the same backpack (don't remember the brand) which never seem's to have enough pockets.

I dress at home and carry my yoga mat in my hands
:-( I would love a nice bag!

Connie Dumcum 3-22-2010 @ 11:51AM

Now I use a cheap oversized bag that is hard to carry and doesn't stay closed, but I need lots of stuff when I go to the gym twice before returning home.

Megan 3-22-2010 @ 11:53AM

I use a vinyl (or something like that) tote bag that I stole from my mother's large "bag collection". I think my Dad got it as a freebie for subscribing to Bon Appetit magazine. At this point I'm sort of afraid to wash it because it might fall apart - and it needs to be washed! Ick.

I use a flimsy little backpack that barely holds my pair of running shoes. I would love the chance to be able to pack some more gear on my way to the gym!
