How This Modular Magnetic Duffle + Backpack Helps You Save Space (and Even Money)

Everyone has different needs and requirements from their travel carries. Some people want space while others want compartments, some prefer large bags while others like the idea of smaller segregated carry-packs, some pack their entire wardrobe for a weekend holiday while others travel light. It’s difficult to design one single product that satisfies all these varying needs, but the SwitchUP does a pretty good job walking that fine line. With a 3-in-1 magnetic modular design, the SwitchUP features a spacious duffle bag and a compact shoulder backpack magnetically attached to its side. Together, they can be carried as a single unit but if you want, they split apart into separate bags that can be used independently while traveling. The duffle offers a large 40L storage capacity that’s filled with unique features like a detachable magnetic laundry bag, a separate shoe compartment, and pockets/pouches galore for all your belongings. Snapped to its side is a removable backpack with 10L of storage. Perfect for your essentials, the backpack can either be attached to the duffle, or carried independently as your outdoor travel bag. It has two integrated bottle holders, a hanging hook that makes it easy to access, and a removable drawstring pouch that you can store wet clothes in for trips to the pool, beach, or the gym. Whether you pack heavy or light, the SwitchUP’s modular design lets you carry everything you need. The overall 50L design is spacious enough to conveniently pack large and small items, and integrated compartments prove to be handy if you like segregating your belongings. The SwitchUP’s modular design can be carried on your back, across your shoulder, or even attached to your travel case as you rush through the airport (with a carry-on compliant size that lets you even use it as cabin luggage). Aside from being spacious, the bag also saves you big bucks, giving you two feature-filled bags for a respectable sub $150 price tag.

Convertible – From a 50L duffel to a 10L backpack in moments.

Modular – The patent-pending modular system allows you to transform your bag from big to small in seconds.

The 3-in-1 bag gets its status from the fact that it can be carried in 3 different styles. A secure magnetic fidlock system lets you attach the backpack to the duffle, giving you a single large carrying case that you can either carry in your hands using the handles, or wear on your back like a large rucksack. However, if you want to distribute the weight, the backpack detaches from the duffle, and can be worn on your shoulders while you hold the duffle in your hand. This third method is effective during air travel, allowing you to check-in your duffle, or carry it as cabin luggage, thanks to its compact cabin-friendly size. The backpack becomes a personal accessory, staying with you while you travel and fitting underneath your seat.

Smart Packing System – There is a place for everything and everything in its place.

Multiple Configurations – Their packing cube solutions allow you to create multiple storage configurations to fit whatever you need.

Collapsible Pocket – The water-resistant pocket can fit a range of shoes and boots.

The SwitchUP’s hero is its 40L duffle, which is as functional as it’s spacious. The internal storage is accessed by a wide clamshell flap, letting you pack pretty much anything from clothes to sporting equipment, tech gear, or anything else you’d need to pack. Compartments on the side are perfect for things like toiletries, accessories, and other small items, and a padded quick-access side section is wide enough to store your laptop. The bag’s main storage space can be used independently or with companion packing cubes that let you segregate your belongings into 4L or 8L modules (perfect for clothes, suits, etc.) A separate shoe-storage area lets you carry footwear in the bag without having it touch any of your other clothes, a kangaroo pouch on the front allows you to carry bulky items like basketballs or volleyballs, and the duffle also comes with its own independent laundry bag for separating fresh clothes from the worn ones. The bag features handles that let you carry it just like regular duffle, or a set of shoulder straps that let you wear it on your back instead. The shoulder straps are padded for comfort, and are designed to be removable, so they can attach onto the duffle’s sidekick, its companion 10L backpack.

The Perfect Carry-on

The 10L backpack can either be worn either as a single-strap sling, or on your shoulders as a double-strap compact carry-around, or can be attached to the side of the duffle as a convenient all-in-one solution. A uniquely secure magnetic fidlock system lets the backpack snap onto the side of the duffle like it were a MagSafe accessory. Except, unlike MagSafe, SwitchUP’s fidlock system also uses a set of elastic tethers, making it incredibly secure and difficult to remove/detach by accident. The 10L backpack is perfect for day-travelers, commuters, and for carrying the bare essentials during flight-travel. It easily fits a 13” laptop or a tablet, your headphones, and a bunch of other items inside. Bottle-holders with hoodies on the side let you carry water around, and a removable drawstring pouch lets you store wet clothes or towels, making the 10L backpack perfect for carrying to the beach, pool, gym, or sportsground.

Versatility aside, the SwitchUP’s also made to be a reliable travel companion. The entire duffle + backpack arrangement is made from 840D ballistic recycled polyester fabric, with a 100% waterproof ripstop inner lining and durable, industry-leading YKK zips. Aside from being weather-proof, the bags are sufficiently theft-proof too, with the fidlock system letting you secure your backpack so that nobody steals it, and the carry-on handles on the duffle prevent the zips from being opened while you’re not paying attention.

SwitchUP’s modular approach uniquely makes it the kind of bag that appeals to pretty much any traveler. It adapts to your needs, whether you want to travel light or carry in excess. You can either store your belongings together or segregate them into compartments and packing cubes… and the SwitchUP even lets you separate your shoes from your clothes, and your dirty laundry from your fresh garments. The 3-in-1 carry system makes it easy to either have all your belongings in one cohesive package, or split into two for easily carrying around. Moreover, they can be used independently too, giving you two bags for the price of one… at a 40% discount, no less!

World’s First Carbon Neutral Backpack, made from 100% Recycled Plastic with embedded Captured CO2 Emissions

Dubbed the 38L Hybrid Duffle Pack, this backpack has an entire laundry list of impressive features, from a shapeshifting design that goes from backpack to duffle mode, to a 100% storm-proof design, and a fabric that uses 123 recycled plastic bottles and captured CO2 to help make the backpack carbon neutral while enhancing the strength. If that wasn’t enough, the backpack was designed in collaboration with Ed Stafford, a renowned English explorer and survivalist who holds the Guinness World Record for being the first human ever to walk the length of the Amazon River… so if the 38L Hybrid Duffle Pack is good enough for Stafford and his outlandish lifestyle, it can definitely take yours!

The 38L Hybrid Duffle Pack’s entire personality is the outdoors while looking sleek enough to excel in urban environments. Designed in collaboration with Ed Stafford and made with recycled plastic waste, the 38L Hybrid Duffle Pack shows that it’s absolutely possible to build a product that’s equal parts sustainable and hyper-functional.

Backpack – Robust semi-detachable shoulder straps with stabilizers for extra comfort.

Hand Carry – Three exterior robust grab handles for hand carry.

Duffle – Detachable waist belt transforms into comfy shoulder strap for shoulder and cross-body carry.

The hyper-functionality starts with the bag’s hybrid design, which rapidly alternates between handheld, side duffle, and backpack styles. The bag comes with a detachable duffle-style shoulder strap, a semi-detachable backpack harness with stabilizers, and 2 side handles to facilitate the three carrying styles. With all the straps tucked away, it can be carried like a briefcase. Pop the duffle-style shoulder strap on and you have a side-sling duffle bag… pop the two backpack harness straps on and you’ve got a backpack. The backpack mode can further be reinforced with the duffle-style strap transforming into a secure waist belt letting you carry heavy items with ease as the bag hugs your back to prevent strap burn.

Made to easily withstand the extreme outdoors, the bag comes with a 100% storm-proof design that’s also backed by maker GROUNDTRUTH’s 10-year warranty. The fabric on the exterior uses a yarn made from recycled PET bottles. Bottles are collected, treated, and shredded into thin strands, that are then woven into a yarn. The yarn is then weaved into a durable textile with a 600D ballistic property and a tristop weave. . The high-performance fabric is absolutely water-proof, and the bag’s panels are stitched together with the triangular ripstop weave that prevents them from fraying, splitting, or tearing. Waterproof YKK lockable zippers help keep your bag’s contents dry and safe no matter how inclement the weather.

As its name indicates, the backpack comes with 38 liters of inner capacity and a size large enough to store a 16″ laptop in the exterior fleece-lined laptop compartment. The bag comes with two main compartments (which open all the way in the clamshell style), along with four exterior front lash pockets. A top-access pocket also lets you store your EDC, with a dedicated keychain holder, and bottle holders on each side of the bag let you store up to two 1L bottles.

The bag’s sustainable approach sets it apart from anything we’ve ever seen. While the exterior fabric uses recycled plastic bottles, the interior lining is made from 100% recycled fishing nets using zero dye. GROUNDTRUTH’s patent-pending process also involves embedding captured CO2 into the recycled plastic hardware, making it up to 40% stronger than virgin plastics. To finish things off, the textiles are coated with an advanced water-based coating, with zero VOCs. GROUNDTRUTH also works with Bluesign®-certified partners, ensuring equitable conditions for its workers all the way down the supply chain.

The bag truly shows a remarkable balance between sustainability and functionality. Purposefully designed to help mitigate the effects of humanity’s wasteful decisions, the bag comes with a carbon-neutral design that’s further reinforced by the fact that it’s ridiculously durable, and is backed by a 10-year warranty. Made for travel, the 38L Hybrid Duffle Pack is cabin-friendly, and is available globally in two colors – ECO-X Black, and Ice Sheet Blue, for a discounted price of $249.

The 38L Hybrid Duffle Pack is part of GROUNDTRUTH’s award-winning RIKR range collection.

This trendy duffel backpack will be your ultimate travel partner

People have been enjoying traveling and going outdoors again to the point that “revenge travel” has become a trend. Whether you’re traveling out of town for a few days or simply packing for a trip to a sports complex, having a dependable bag is essential in making your trip free from stress and worry. Buying a bag can be an adventure in itself when you’re trying to pick one that can maximize storage without sacrificing usability and aesthetics. Often you have to sacrifice one or the other to reach an acceptable compromise. A good-looking bag that can meet all your travel needs might sound like fantasy, but that’s exactly the kind of experience promised by this durable duffle bag and backpack in one.

Different people have different travel needs. Actually, even the same person might have different needs and requirements depending on the type of travel their doing. There is really no one size that fits all, but there are designs that definitely come close to that ideal situation.

When traveling with sports equipment or clothes for a few days, duffle bags and backpacks are the go-to solutions. The Blackbriar Allround Duffle Backpack offers both in the same bag, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg of the flexibility that this travel essential has to offer.

For example, many travel-oriented bags have a dedicated pocket for shoes or dirty clothes. More often than not, however, you can’t use the same pocket for both purposes. Blackbriar’s solution is so genius in its simplicity that you’re left wondering why it isn’t more common. This duffel backpack has two such compartments on opposite ends of the bag, allowing you to store two pairs of shoes, shoes and dirty clothes, or just dirty clothes. That way, you don’t have to compromise on storage because your bag doesn’t offer you that flexibility.

You might think that having two such compartments can be a waste of space, but that’s hardly the case. The shoe pockets can fold neatly out of the way if you don’t need them, but they also have another function that you won’t see in other bags. Those pockets can become dividers to create sections inside the bag, thanks to a patented S-Partition design. Thanks to this unique feature, you no longer need to use a bag organizer that only takes up precious space inside.

The Blackbriar Allround Duffle Backpack also has all the bells and whistles you’d want from a travel bag. The three-tiered structure of its fabric not only protects it from water and scratches but also helps preserve its shape.

A magnetic main pocket makes it easy to open the bag, while zippers allow you to safeguard the contents inside when traveling under heavy conditions. Mesh pockets inside let you stash big and small objects, while a dedicated laptop pocket can be accessed both from the outside as well as from the inside.

With all these features and a flexible configuration, it might come as a shock that the Duffel Backpack comes with a $169 price tag only. Throw in another $10 add-on, and you’ll be able to grab the shoulder straps that can help distribute the weight of the load across your whole body. Whether it’s for short trips or long ones, the Blackbriar Allround Duffle Backpack offers the flexibility you need to adapt to your situation while also looking stylish along the way.

A Bag with Bragging Rights!

Lifetime warranty. When was the last time you heard that? I’m sure it wasn’t recently. You see, products are nowadays designed to have a life-span. The culture of ‘product updates’ pushes consumers to buy newer versions of the old product with time. Gone are the days where one product would last a lifetime.

The Dave Jr. Duffel 2.0 by AMABILIS belongs to a different school of thought. The aim is to create a product that lasts forever, helping build trust in the brand, and creating a much stronger connection between the user and the product. There’s a reason why the grandfather has a favorite pipe, or a favorite watch. They’ve been with him for years, by his side, constantly serving, constantly amazing, becoming indispensable. The Dave Jr. Duffel is set to become that sort of bag that goes everywhere with you, sees the world with you, passes through life with you.

The Dave Jr. Duffel comes with military grade crafting, allowing it to withstand pretty much anything you can think of. When we say military grade crafting, we mean it! The upper body is made of a double layered defence-grade tarpaulin that’s capable of taking rough usage as well as rough weather. The base of the bag is crafted out of a superfabric that has a ceramic armor plating, preventing it from wear and tear. Even the zippers and clasps are military spec, resulting in a bag that’s so capable and durable the only thing left to do is make it ballistics-proof!

The tough construction doesn’t mean that the bag is bulky. The Dave Jr. Duffel is perfectly sized for every day carry as well as travel. The insides are spacious enough to accommodate clothes and even gadgets. AMABILIS even makes accessories like the Stash pouch and the Organizer wallet that integrate perfectly with the Dave Jr. Duffel. You can even order a patch of your country’s flag that gets applied on the Velcro zone of the bag’s exterior. The Dave Jr. Duffel is available in three distinct color combos. The classic black and white is perfect for the understated style. The Tango orange is perfect for the vibrant kind who want to stand out. If none of them suit your style, the Tactical combo is available in stealth black, just in case you happen to work for Her Majesty’s secret service!

Either which way, the Dave Jr. Duffel is so durable it has a high chance of outliving you! So go ahead and make this the last duffel bag you’ll ever need to buy!

The Professional’s Gym Bag

Look around your office & you’ll likely see a striking number of people carrying 2 bags: 1 for work and 1 for the gym. This is because most bags aren’t suited for both. The Aer Duffel Pack fills this unique gap with thoughtfully designed compartments & a demure aesthetic that you can take anywhere. The main zipper gives you full access to the interior while the side pockets give you quick access to smaller items. At the bottom is a ventilated pouch for used clothes/shoes. For work, a padded compartment at the back cradles your laptop, books & papers. All this & it still maintains a slim profile that’s perfect for commuting!
