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 (35L) 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 and its length.

The CORE35 (medium) duffel can fit a belt up to 6.3"/16cm wide and 45.7"/116cm long.
The CORE51 (large) duffel can fit a belt up to 6.7"/17cm wide and 45.7"/116cm long.

A lever belt can fit, but you should count the lever into your measurement.

The CORE35 (Medium) will fit size 10 shoes. The CORE51 (Large) will fit size 13 shoes. Larger shoe sizes will fit our PLUS Duffel.

    Ultimate Gym Bag

    I recently purchased the KNKG CORE DUFFLE bag and it's the ultimate gym bag, and I have to say, it has exceeded all my expectations! As someone who frequents the gym regularly, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect bag, and this one ticks all the boxes.

    First off, the design is sleek and modern, with a minimalistic yet stylish look that makes it perfect for both men and women. The durability is impressive too—the fabric feels high-quality and resistant to wear and tear. Even after a few weeks of use, it still looks as good as new.

    The storage capacity is incredible! The main compartment is spacious enough to fit all of your essentials like clothes, shoes, towels, free weights and even a water bottle. I love the additional compartment divider too.

    Comfort is another standout feature—the adjustable shoulder straps are padded, and the handles are sturdy and easy to grip, making it comfortable to carry no matter how heavy it gets. The lightweight design means it won’t weigh you down, even when packed full.

    Overall, this gym bag is not just functional, but also stylish and incredibly well-made. If you’re in the market for a new gym bag that combines practicality with sleek design, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

    10/10 bag

    Best bag I’ve had. Hauls all my gym gear and work stuff for 24 hour shifts. I can keep my dirty work boots or gym shoes in a separate pocket and slide my coffee cup in the outside pocket to keep my hands free. This bag is sturdy and structured, well worth the cash.

    The Gold Standard of Duffels

    I’ve had and have went through a plethora of duffel bags in my training and travels. But my KNKG duffel bag, is in a league of its own, and has been the highest quality bag I’ve ever purchased. The heavyweight materials of the bag just feels like quality and you’ll know what I’m talking about when you go to feel one of these yourself. Such an innovative and thoughtful design allows you to put your weight belt in the side, shoes on the other; and all the daily essentials you could ever need for several days in the bag. The premium materials feel sturdy yet refined, and every detail like the reinforced stitching to smooth, durable zippers exudes quality. It’s super spacious, intelligently designed, and customizable too. You can add a custom patch to the side of the bag to make it your own. They’ve thought of everything.
