The Helly Hansen W HH Active Bag 2 is reasonably priced and offers a versatile classic style for the on-the-go runner looking for a lightweight, packable, medium-size sports bag. The bag looks slim and chic thrown over your shoulder or across your body, and your shoes are kept in place in an easily accessible bottom compartment.
A Packable Messenger Bag
The W HH Active doesn’t look like a traditional gym bag–it’s shaped more like a tote—but comes with many features that make it an ideal bag for runners, including heavy-duty zippers, a separate waterproof shoe compartment, and durable interior fabric. You can use the long strap to wear it like a cross-body messenger-style bag or tote it by the handles, which are also long enough to carry over your shoulder. Need to pack light for a trip? This bag stuffs into the front pocket for easy packing.
Holds Almost Everything
It is the perfect size for a day bag, just big enough to carry almost everything, but not so big that things get lost in there for days. The bag holds everything needed for a run and still has room for some snacks and lunch. The main compartment fits running clothes, toiletries, and snacks. Our tester was able to fit all of these items, as well as two Tupperware containers and four—yes, four—cans of coconut LaCroix. The bottom compartment holds running shoes and comes in handy after rainy and muddy runs to keep the rest of your gear clean. The zipper to the compartment opens almost all the way around the back, making it extremely easy to shake out grass and dirt and wipe clean.
Heavy-Duty and Waterproof
There is also a small zipper pocket on the outside of the bag to stash your keys, phone, earbuds, cash, and jewelry. All of the compartments feature heavy-duty, easy-to-use zippers. You can throw the bag onto your car floor or in the trunk and not worry about everything dumping out. It’s lined with a durable nylon, but the external fabric is silky-soft. The bottom compartment is waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about setting the bag on the floor of the gym or on the train. This bag is available in two color ways—black and plum. The Helly Hanson W HH Active Bag 2 stylishly totes everything you want to bring along for your daily run and weekend adventures.
