A tote bag with an internal drying feature accepts sweaty exercise clothing or shoes for temporary storage and dries such items after exercise and during working hours until the contents can be brought to a laundry facility. The drying agent can be regenerated with a heat source or other ways. Additional materials can be combined with a drying agent for odor control such as baking soda. The drying agent can feature an indicator that provides feedback on the remaining useful life such as by a color change. The drying agent can be sized to fit in internal pouches in the bag that can optionally be secured to retain the drying agent in place. An array of drying agent elements supported with a backing material can be used to expedite drying agent replacement.
