Great Bag for the Price

This was a replacement for a Nike bag that I had for over 10 years. This bag is much higher quality than the Nike bag, so I could only imagine how long this KNKG will last. Wish these bags came in 40L but I think 33L will fit most peoples use cases, I just love to pack way too much stuff. I comfortably fit two pairs of size 12 sneakers, a change of gym clothes, two medium sized food containers, my 15" macbook pro, and some small miscellaneous items. That exterior weight lifting belt holder will be a life saver once my new belt comes in, and will save so much space versus having to pack it inside an actual bag. Wish the straps and back of the bag had a little bit more padding. Overall for the price, the quality, and the size, I give this bag an easy 4.5/5. If it came in a 40L with some extra padding on the straps and back of the bag, that would be an absolute 5/5 in my book.

Pleasantly Surprised

I was pleasantly surprised with this bag. My first purchase from KingKong, and impressed with the quality of this bag. Been a gym duffle guy for years and never considered a backpack. Bought the medium and is perfect for what I need. Here’s an iin-depth breakdown for those who need details before spending money. Designed with operational intent. First, this is extremely durable, and made with a military grade duffel bag style canvas. The pocket design is thoughtfully with pouches for wallet, keys, phone, etc, placed for easy access. Chest strap is a nice feature for any long walking, this would make a great carry on or field pack which I intend to use for also. The shoulder straps have the ability to cinch high on the back, with rigid, ergonomic support which is perfect for long movements and can be changed out for a field/day pack. Carry handle on the top is a great feature and allows you to move the bag easily while changing locations in the gym or hang the bag on a d-ring, etc for field type operations. This bag will soften and become more pliable with usage, so you will see it’s built to last. I can fit a mid size foam roller, multiple foam balls, gloves, bands, shin rash guards, towels, and a 32oz water bottle in this bag comfortably. The laptop sleeve is also padded very well and placed with intent in mind. The sneaker compartment in the bottom can also be used for additional gear, although I don’t use it for sneakers as it would take up too much space to top-load anything important for me. That’s fine with me, since I don’t necessarily need that feature for shoes. The water bottle pouches stretch, but I don’t use them for water, this is where I place gloves, shin guards, but if used for a carry-on fits a yeti, 20 oz rambler coffee mug perfectly. This bag easily stands up vertically, for loading from the floor, but is rigid enough to load on a table top or counter with ease, and doesn’t collapse like less durable bags. Great bag, well worth the money, and something that will last for a long time. First purchase from this company, but I’m sold.

Love the CORE Backpack. Was exactly what I needed. Has all the compartments for your gym essential and then some! I do wish the inside of the medium 25L was a bit larger...when you put your shoes in the shoe slot you only have a little bit of room in the inside of the gym bag for other things and the bottle holder on the side do not stretch as easily as they shown on the picture. regardless of this, I still like the bag and would definitely recommend! :-)

Fits everything & is the perfect bag for my workouts

I was looking far a proper bag to store my gym gear: sweats, extra shoes, supplements, hydration bottle, exercise bands etc. I took a chance on King Kong after seeing their gear on a Men’s website and it has exceeded my expectations. The material is rugged, the shoe pockets works and the zippers are quality. I would recommend their gear to anyone who wants a straight-to-the-point every day work out bag.
