Simply Amazing.Eben C.

“The bag is great! Feels well-made and durable. Got the belt to go with it and it fits perfectly without giving up any extra space.”

Extremely durable.Arie K.

The pockets are designed intelligently and make for excellent organization. Works best when you pair with the dividers. Highly recommend this bag!

Even Better than Expected.Karter C.

The bag feels extremely well made. The pockets are well placed and I love the location of the shoe/used gym clothes slot on the side.

    Perfect

    Absolutely love this bag. Plenty of space for my workout accessories and I love having the weight belt holder on the outside of the bag.

    Almost perfect!

    Excellent bag, but It doesn’t fit the shoes too well. I have men’s size 9.5 and they don’t fit easily with the zipper closed. It’s very well made. The next iteration would be nice to have a web pouch on the outside to hold shower sandals

    Great small and compact duffel! Fits multiple wrist wraps, knee sleeves and elbow sleeves. Loads of pockets to organize all of my gym gear as well.

    Inside the main compartment are one zipper pouch on the flap, one entire open compartment and two small pouches located near the logo side of the duffel. One side of the duffel has a pouch to carry drinks/flasks. The other side has another zipper compartment with a small net inside for dividing items. In front of the back with the logo are 2 zipper pockets for storage. Unfortunately my lever belt was not suitable to wrap around the designated weight lifting belt section of the duffel but that was an oversight on my behalf.

    Overall, very impressed with the amount of pockets and pouches for organizing. Duffel is great quality too; feels nice, durable and lightweight! Very happy with my purchase.

    Better than expected!

    We all know they make great bags but this one is out of the box (literally!).

    The waxed canvas is a treat and the size is great for two people and all their parephinalia.

    Couldn't recommend it more highly.

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 12 shoes. The CORE51 (Large) will fit size 15 shoes.
