Sports bag

A bag comprising:

• a pair of fully separable compartment segments, a first compartment segment and a second compartment segment, that combine to form the bag, wherein each compartment segment has two separate and opposing continuous, uninterrupted longitudinal edges the lengths of which extend between a first bag end and a second bag end that define a planar surface of the segment, wherein each longitudinal edge of the first compartment segment aligns with one of the two separate longitudinal edges of the second compartment segment to form a pair of separable aligned longitudinal edges, wherein two pairs of aligned and opposing longitudinal edges are formed, wherein the bag ends of each compartment segment are separate from the bag ends of the other compartment segment, and wherein each compartment segment has at least one bag end free of any connection means;
• a pair of separate, non-overlapping longitudinal and separable connection means each secured to substantially the entire length of one of the two separate and opposing longitudinal edges of the first compartment segment and to one of the two separate and opposing longitudinal edges of the second compartment segment that forms the pair of aligned longitudinal edges with the longitudinal edge of the first compartment segment, wherein the longitudinal connection means are selected from the group consisting of zippers, hook and loop fastening systems, magnets, flexible cloth, flexible plastic, neoprene and combinations thereof, wherein the pair of longitudinal connection means permit the pair of compartment segments to be releasably secured together and fully separable;
• at least two holding rings secured to each of the pair of fully separable compartment segments;
• and,
• a single continuous strap secured through each of the at least two holding rings secured to each of the pair of fully separable compartment segments, wherein the strap can translate freely through the at least two holding rings, wherein the strap permits the pair of compartment segments to be partially or fully separated for access to compartments formed in the segments while maintaining a connection between the pair of fully separable compartment segments.
