    good improvements over the previous CORE backpack

    I have liked my previous CORE backpacks, but this PRO version has some significant improvements.

    1. Less breakable zipper pulls. On one of my previous backpacks the rubber zipper pulls cracked off. The new design makes that not possible.

    2. Robust metal hardware on the backpack straps. The previous version had plastic which could break and was unrepairable.

    3. Larger pocket openings overall

    4. Magnetic instead of velcro for the belt holder. The magnetic look is cleaner and will last longer

    5. Some nice logo/design details on the interior of the bag

    6. Shipped in a very fancy box that I felt bad about recycling

    Great backpack!

    I really love it. Ive found it super useful already as a gym bag and a travel bag. The shoe area works well and there is alot of room for everything else. I do wish some if the outside pockets could hold more but its still very functional.

    Great little personal item pack for traveling with gear

    The combination of a trolley sleeve, easy plane access, and dimensions that work well as a personal item on airlines around the world makes this a great option for carrying gear of all types for vacation travel, especially if you are looking for a small bag with two water bottle pockets. The bag will work great for destination carry for a wide range of items, and because it is self standing with easy access it works great as a car bag, beach bag, or other places you might want to have quick access from the top.

    The perfect compact gym bag

    From the moment this arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. The packing alone showed a high level of care and attention to detail before I even saw the backpack itself. Once unboxed, the quality and construction of the bag absolutely blew me away. The waxed canvas material feels incredibly premium, rugged, and built to last through daily wear and tear.

    I use this for the gym to pack just enough for my essentials. It perfectly holds one pair of shoes, two water bottles, my headphones, keys, a lifting belt, and a small towel. Despite holding all of that, the bag is not heavy at all and feels incredibly sturdy on my back. It’s a great little compact bag.

    I honestly have no idea why I waited so long to purchase one.

    What a bag!
