I haven’t had many duffle bags through the years, but from the ones I’ve owned, KNKG is top tier. The material (canvas?) feels SOLID…like the bag itself is super durable. I feel like I could run over it with a van napoleon dynamite style and it won’t break.
The zipper pull tabs feel like a super solid hard plastic like kydex or something, and they’re super ergonomic — they have a little groove that fit my fingers to perfectly grip (pause) and just lets me pull open/close with ease.
The actual zipper opens smooth the tabs don’t get stuck at all.
Perfect amount of compartments. Fit my sweet squat shoes, extra pair of deadlift slippers, mouth guard, sbd belt, wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, tripod (my gym lets me record shhhh), water bottle, headphone case, gummies. AND plenty of room left over. Sometimes I’ll throw my knee sleeves in there if I’m feeling crazy.
The freaking clips that hook the shoulder strap are solid metal btw and powder coated a shiny gloss black —very purdy and I’m guessing weather resistant. I live in Cali though so like it doesn’t matter, but yeah.
While we’re talking about the straps — the rubber grips STICK to your shoulder/shirt. No more slipping while sprinting to your favorite combo rack/machine/water cooler or w/e.
Honestly the only downside seems like the price, but TBH after getting the duffle I feel this would last YEARS. Like not a couple…several — it might outlive some of y’all’s new year resolutions for sure. Just playing. Kind of.…
