A backpack is great because it keeps both hands free and it keeps your spine straight.
If you carry a shoulder bag or a handheld bag, you need to make sure you switch sides constantly, If you always carry it on the same side, it will mess up your spine, and that will eventually lead to running injuries.
Are there any backpacks that don’t make a man looks like he’s in kindergarten
I present to thee... the murse
Farmer’s carry
Plastic bag, Krogers for an upscale look.
Back pocket phone in one, wallet the other.
Front pockets....keys, comb, pocket knife, metal slide.
other switchblade, change
If I need to carry anything else, I put on a wind breaker with deep pockets
I like to use a walker, you can hang plastic bags on it. If you run out of capacity just buy something in a convenience store and get a new plastic bag. Tennis balls on the front legs make for smoother travel.

Hiking brands - fjalraven, north face, etc. Sports brands - nike, adidas, etc. People probably just assume its gym gear.
Its really not that uncommon to see men carrying around backpacks in large cities, especially on the train or subway
To demonstrate classic masculinity/masochism, surely you need a Trapper Nelson wooden and canvas backpack frame from the 1920s-40s. Many tales have been told by my dad and his friends about how strenuous they were!

I got married to a woman that carries a large purse. She carries all my stuff. The beauty of it is she also manages all communication with my side of the family and all my doctors and dentist appointments.
It's been a real game changer in my life. Highly recommend.
I’m confused. I thought I was supposed to have a roster, not a wife. This place has me running in circles.
I tend to be a gear obsessive kind of person, and so I go with the approach that carrying as little as possible is preferable and looks best, but when I have to carry something, I get picky about what it will be.
For work, I had some really cool messenger bags - my first one was a nicel looking all leather that was distressed to look masculine and a bit dated. Later, after the flight jacket kind of look went out, I got one that was a bike messenger bag of some tech fabric that looked sleek.
For running the dog when i have to carry the dog's stuff, I use a very small hydration backpack with the bladder stripped out. It suits the purpose and looks appropriate for running. And I also outfit the special dog running belt with a couple of specialized pouches for treats and poop bags - very streamlined.
Nowadays about all my shorts and tights have zipper pockets so I don't lose crap.
For running club sessions, I have a Puma backpack that has a sports ambiance.
For gym workouts where I need the jump rope, leg weights, etc., I have a little construction bag that's easy to use and might be a little dorky, but gets the job done.
Other than that, I wouldn't be carrying things.
tl/dr - use a bag/carrier appropriate for the activity.
