BOXER DUFFLE PACK
About
The Boxer Duffle Pack was designed out of necessity to thrive in the highly dynamic and active coastal city of Vancouver. While backpacks are comfortable to wear, they are rarely big enough to house both work and gym gear. While duffle bags are great haulers, they can be uncomfortably clunky. The Boxer Duffle Pack was designed to bridge the gap between work and play, providing the utility of a backpack and the space of a duffle for your active needs.
It features an oversized, front-loading zip that gives you access to the main high-visibility yellow interior with a 30L capacity. A large padded laptop sleeve separates your work from play and a removable drawstring bag keeps all used gear ventilated and isolated. The side expandable pouches feature looped G-hooks to keep your keys close and accommodate both your shin guards or the biggest shaker bottle. Large comfortable shoulder straps and sternum straps keep this backpack tight to your body while you are on the move. This backpack is a true workhorse for the active city dweller.
