Man, I've been waiting for a review of this bag for so long. Seemed like the perfect bag for me until I realized it doesn't have the traditional duffel shoulder strap. I would've loved that option over the backpack straps.
Hey! 👋 thanks so much for leaving a comment! That’s interesting, I never thought about it having a shoulder strap, but that wasn’t what I was after. I guess they could put clips in place and provide an optional shoulder strap with the bag in a v2, or make an alternate version with no backpack straps and a shoulder strap instead. They definitely need to rework the backpack straps IMO.
@@studoesfitness Agree with the clips so that you can attach-detach the straps at will. My only reservation with the backpack straps on this model is that there's no rigid structure for your back when the bag is in backpack mode. As you mentioned, the thing collapses to a degree once you wear it with both straps. I ended up going with the Hayabusa Airstream Duffel for my main gym bag and I'm pretty happy with it. Almost pulled the trigger on the BFA 60L!
Hey! Thanks for commenting :) Yeah, I'd agree, I've had other similars bags in the past and they haven't had this annoying issue. I suspect they'll fix this in a future update of the bag.

Do you have a Built For Athletes bag?
Are you considering buying one?
Which one would you buy?

@sleeper1023 you are spot on about the rigid structure issue!
I shall take at look for the Hayabusa bag, interested to see what you’ve opted for :)
I think the Strap ending on the top of the opener is really a design flaw

But thank your for the review. A sports bag should really be practical for the daily use.
