KNKG bags are built to go the distance. Every piece is engineered with quality materials, precision craftsmanship, and real-world testing - so you can pack it to the brim without worrying about rips or failure.

This version of the CORE Backpack features a waxed canvas body - an ultra-durable cotton canvas impregnated with wax for water resistance. Waxed canvas develops a rugged, lived-in look over time, with marks and creases that add to its character. It delivers the same proven longevity as our ballistic materials, with a vintage feel that gets better the harder you use it.

This CORE backpack is made from:
• Water-resistant Scottish waxed canvas from Halley Stevenson (cotton, waxed finish)
• Genuine Cow leather logo patch & zipper pulls
• YKK zippers
• Ripstop nylon lining
• Nylon webbing

NOT JUST DURABLE - DEPENDABLE
Built with a water-resistant waxed canvas shell, this limited edition CORE Duffel is crafted for those who aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves and get the work done. Every crease, mark, and scuff tells the story of work put in and limits pushed.

No shortcuts. No excuses. Just a bag that shows up like you do.

BUILT TO GO THE DISTANCE
Waxed canvas isn’t just for looks. It’s a proven material trusted for over a century. Water-resistant, tough by nature, and built to age with character. This isn’t a trend piece. It’s a workhorse built for the grind.

    Huge success

    This was a gift for my son on his birthday. He opened the box and immediately transferred his gear to the new bag. He was very happy with the size and features of the bag. He took it to the gym the same day he received it.

    Core Bag Review

    I needed a bag for work and hit the gym afterwards and Core bag fit all what I needed. The side pockets were able to hold my 40oz beast tumblers with ease. Plenty of room for my laptop , files and my gym clothes. The material of the bag and zippers will last for many years. I have tried other bags and I feel like I wasted my money because this bag does it all.

    Fantastic Bag!

    I’ve been looking for awhile for the perfect bag that accommodates what I need to go from office to gym or vice versa. I’ve purchased adidas, Nike, Gymshark and others. Nothing has lived up to what I’ve needed until my KNKG Core bag. I can store all my things AND it conveniently holds my lift belt without sacrificing bag space. It’s the final boss of gym bags.
