Sports Product Review

So what is it you carry to the gym? A gym bag? Excuse me if I chuckle. You may max out at more than I do, but unless you carry that tight, sleeveless compression shirt in the Cross Sport Duffle by High Sierra, (www.highsierrasport.com), you’ll always be jealous.

This is the gadget-lovers bag. One zipper up top? Try about thirty. Everywhere. This thing’s got more hidden compartments than a haunted mansion on Scooby Doo. There's a large, main compartment with U-shaped zippered opening for easy access and, below, a removable roll-out mat, which is great for working out, changing shoes or sitting in wet grass. PVC coating makes it easy to keep clean. The mesh sport flap holds a helmet, basketball or soccer ball and hides away in another zippered compartment when not in use. The easy-clean, PVC-lined, wet end section rolls up and the ventilation panel keeps contents dry.

Want more? The front pocket has a hanging mesh toiletry pocket, key fob and ventilation grommets which also keep contents dry. There is a CD/MP3 player pocket with headphone port, and zippered water bottle pocket which, again, hides away when not in use. Adjustable straps on the back panel hold a yoga mat, baseball bat or a jacket, and an elastic shock cord on the main compartment opening holds additional gear. Finally the Cross Sport offers a detachable/adjustable shoulder strap with non-slip pad, while the neoprene handle wrap wicks hand moisture.

Yes, Bruno, you look good in front of the mirror. But don’t pretend that when you see me pack up my gear and stow it away in my Cross Sport that you’re not a little envious of what I’m lifting.
