Gear: What's Your Bag?

Take a meeting, catch a train, hit the gym. How to carry it all.

By Inc. staff | 
 

Gear

Ever try to cram your laptop, running shoes, and gym clothes in a briefcase? Good luck. "The gadgets and gear we now lug around call for much more functionality -- and a way to separate it all," says New York-based fashion consultant Warren Christopher. These versatile men's and women's carryalls are perfect for visiting a client, sending e-mails from Starbucks, or hanging out at the gym. Jack Spade's Gym Bag includes a matching waterproof sack for dirty gym clothes; Swiss Army's Web Messenger Bag has a separate laptop carrier for all-work-no-play days. Literally the most unique of the lot is Timbuk2's you-design-it bag. Enter Timbuk2's website and follow the custom building process to select size, fabric, and color, as well as the number and type of your bag's compartments -- the latter keeps sweaty togs from commingling with tonight's reading material.
