Comfort
The Under Armour Hustle 3.0 backpack is going to keep you quite comfortable. They have added padding to the shoulder straps to make sure that they don't dig in. Consumers have noted that while they offer ample padding it does not make this bag overly bulky or uncomfortable to wear.

Overall, they have done a good job at working padding in where customers needed to maintain an optimal level of comfort while carrying this bag around.
Breathability
Many people use this as a standard backpack and not a gym bag which is likely why it doesn't have much breathability. Due to the fact that it doesn't get much airflow, you will need to empty it out after each use. If you don't you will be left with gloves that aren't completely dried and ready to go for your next training session.
It is likely going to be advantageous for you to invest in some deodorizing products. While you absolutely can throw the Under Armour Hustle 3.0 in the washing machine over the course of time this can hurt its durability. So, using deodorizing products can help ensure that you get excellent longevity of use out of this bag.
Style
Obviously, the Under Armour Hustle 3.0 is styled like a standard backpack. It does offer extra pockets that are going to work exceptionally well for spiders and their gear. In addition, it is very easy to carry when you are finding a green way to commute to the gym.
Many people find carrying a backpack styled bag to be more comfortable. You may not be able to fit as many items in it, however, it will sit more comfortably on your shoulders then the shoulder strap of a duffel bag will. You will also be able to fit it into your gym locker much more easily than you will a large duffel.
Durability
It has been noted by consumers that they have issues with the durability of the straps. Where they are stitched onto the bag, they tend to rip. This is showing up a lot when people are trying to carry a lot of gear inside of their the Under Armour Hustle 3.0. If you weigh it down too much it is likely are going to have problems with the stitching near the straps.
Consumers have also stated that they have seemed durability issues in general. It does not that the Under Armour Hustle 3.0 has reinforced at the seams so when you're carrying a plethora of things this can be an issue. You may notice that the thread starts to break and the seams start to separate. Obviously, this is a pretty big disadvantage if you plan on using this bag on a daily basis.
Advantages
Another advantage of the Under Armour Hustle 3.0 is the fact that it's going to help keep you organized. You will have quick access to the items you need most like your water bottles and smaller items like your hand wraps. Staying organized can get you to your training session more quickly which, in turn, can help improve your performance, overall.
Consumers also love how convenient it is to care for their Under Armour Hustle 3.0. Throwing a deodorizing product into it can help reduce the foul smell of sweaty training sessions. In addition, you can simply throw it in your washing machine when it becomes unbearably smelly. This is easy and fast.
Disadvantages
You don't want to have to worry about your seams bursting or your straps ripping off. This could cause damage to your gear or even cause you to lose items. We believe that durability is an issue with this item that this brand really needs to work on.
One other thing to keep in mind about the Under Armour Hustle 3.0 is the fact that it's totally lacking in breathability. This is not a major downfall, however, it is a bit frustrating. Having to purchase extra deodorizing products can be a burden on some budgets. Overall, this is a pretty mine or disadvantage but it is certainly something to take under consideration.
Value
Looking at the price of the Under Armour Hustle 3.0, it's also adding to the reason we think it is a slightly less than average value. You'll be paying a bit more for this bag but you won't be getting the same durability you would with others. Don't get us wrong. It is likely that most people will be able to fit this into their budget. We aren't sure, however, how long you'll be able to use it.
Looking over all of the different aspects of the Under Armour Hustle 3.0 there is a conglomeration of pros and cons. The cons that are associated with it are pretty heavy. It definitely takes away from the value of this product. It was a bit surprising to us to see that this bag had such durability issues considering that this brand is usually exceptional at providing high-quality options.
Bottom Line
You won't have to worry about your items becoming wet when you decide to go with the Under Armour Hustle 3.0. It is made of a material that is resistant to water. In addition, they have added abrasion resistance to the bottom of the bag. This means you won't have to be as careful with it when throwing it into the locker.
