FAQS

The main difference is the unique weightlifting belt attachment. This feature allows the bag be used as normal, while carrying a cumbersome lifting belt on the outside. Other changes are the volume (25L and 33L) and the layout.

Most of the materials are the same as used in other King Kong bags. YKK zippers, heavy duty buckles, nylon lining and webbing are all the same. In the CORE range, we have gone for a lighter 500D nylon outside and a new velcro logo feature that allows you to go 'incognito' with your own patches.

Measure the widest point of your belt. The CORE33 (Large) Backpack can fit a belt up to 6.3"/16cm wide. The CORE25 (Medium) Backpack can fit a belt up to 5.9"/15cm wide.

And yes! Lever belts will work with this bag.

The CORE25 (Medium) Backpack fits shoes up to size 12 US mens trainers/runners comfortably. The CORE33 (Large) Backpack fits up to size 15 US mens.

    Not 100% Happy

    I know... I have 5 stars and title make this review very paradoxical but that is what my situation is.

    Hear me out...

    I searched everywhere for a good gym bag, preferably a duffel, that could also be used as backpack as well, with shoe compartment and a belt holder.

    I got this bag and I absolutely love it. It's not a duffel but it's a backpack with shoe compartment and a belt holder and built extremely sturdily. I use it daily and have no complaints other than I wish I had ordered the bigger one. But that's on me.

    Now, I'm not happy because KNKG made such an amazing bag that I want to get their leather heritage series but they're out of stock... That makes me sad.... Hence me not happy. 😭

    Love the bag. Works just as well as anticipated.

    Watch out if you’re ordering from Canada, I got gouged by fees and ended up having to pay 100 dollars just to get it through the border.

    Great quality; a little small

    As title states; the zippers and the material of the body are great and the feel of everything is of quality. Unfortunately it smaller than other 33L backpacks, particularly when the shoe compartment is used. I end up hanging some stuff like barbell clips or boxing gloves on the outside of the pack. I also wish the belt holder didn't have Velcro; it kind of scrapes up my suede lifting belt (I just don't loop the belt behind the sewn loops).
