Lululemon has officially ended the tote bag size epidemic with the aptly named Big-Ass Bag 80L (AUD$299). This oversized bag swallows 80 litres of whatever you simply refuse to leave at home. For many, that includes two drink bottles, a pair of sneakers, laptop, wallet, notepad, and you know full well you won’t be able to find your keys in it. The Canadian athletic brand bypassed physical retail entirely for this release (it doesn’t fit on shelves?), opting for an online exclusive so you don’t have to figure out how to drag it through a crowded shopping centre. Made with thick padded straps and silicone grips, it’s designed to transport heavy loads without sliding down your arm.
While we’ve tested plenty of technical carriers like the Orbitkey Daily Tote System for work, this tote serves a vastly different purpose. The exterior includes a zippered pocket designed to hold multiple pairs of leggings, alongside a secondary zippered compartment housing slip pockets and a dedicated water bottle holder. Inside the main compartment, additional interior pockets keep smaller items from vanishing at the bottom of an 83-centimetre drop.
You also get a bonus mini tote with purchase, which serves as a stuff sack to hide the Big-Ass Bag away when it isn’t swallowing your belongings. You can clip this mini tote or any other small accessories to the exterior webbing loop. Standing 83 centimetres tall and 56 centimetres wide, the bag is a structured alternative to juggling a dozen supermarket canvas bags. You’ll just need big enough guns to lift it!
The best gym duffel bags often fall short when you need to transport bulky items, but the Big-Ass Bag holds a full 80 litres worth of gear, making it a perfect option for laundry days when you’ve forgotten to wash for a couple of weeks. You could also use it for grocery runs, or moving your entire athletic wardrobe at once.
If you prefer more structured organisation for travel, you might want to look at our list of the best travel bags. However, if volume is your primary goal, this tote delivers. Early customer reviews highlight its sheer scale, with one buyer noting that supermarket bag checkers hate to see them coming.
Carrying 80 litres of weight requires heavy-duty support. Lululemon tackles this by adding thick padding to the shoulder straps, ensuring they don’t dig into your collarbone. The straps also feature integrated silicone grips, preventing the bag from sliding off your shoulder while you reach down for your keys.
Finally, the exterior of the bag prioritises quick access to the things you actually need. One zippered pocket is specifically sized to hold multiple pairs of leggings, while a second compartment houses smaller slip pockets and a designated water bottle slot. This setup keeps your hydration and phone easily accessible without forcing you to dive headfirst into the main cavity. A built-in webbing loop also provides a secure attachment point for your gym tags or the included mini tote. It’s a highly technical approach to carrying a very large pile of stuff.
