Cinomadist Swift

The pitch starts from a familiar complaint: most gym bags are little more than sacks, where sweaty clothes end up against clean gear and a laptop gets wedged in next to shoes. Cinomadist says the Swift was designed around the actual flow of a workout instead, with a fully divided system for separating wet from dry and clothing from electronics.

Organization first

The maker lists more than 18 functional pockets, including 6 external quick-grab pockets meant for items like keys and a phone. Inside, a smart modular structure is said to let the storage be reconfigured for training wear, towels and water bottles. Total capacity is given as 29 liters.

Two features address the messier side of training. An adaptive shoe compartment is described as separate and ventilated, intended to keep dirt and odor away from other contents, and designed so packed shoes don't throw off the bag's balance. A removable waterproof pouch, which the maker describes as sealed, is meant for sweaty clothes or wet towels and can be taken out for washing.

Build and carry

• Water-repellent nylon shell
• YKK zippers
• Ergonomic design intended to reduce shoulder strain, with adjustable shoulder straps
• Luggage pass-through strap for mounting on a suitcase

Cinomadist positions the Swift as a no-frills bag for days that move between the gym, the office, city streets and nature trails, with function prioritized over decoration.
