The bag looks small at first but then you start filling it and suddenly you end up with two gis, cups, ankle supports, tape, mouthguards, wallet, bottle, sweat pants, towel, phone, ipod and other crap I forgot to mention !






What I love about that bag is even though you're packing some serious amount of gear the way the shoulder straps are designed makes carrying it around a breeze ! it feels nice and kinda gives you a better posture haha
The waist straps got some nice padding protecting your ribs

Thanks for the review.

I can't believe you can fit two gis in there. Pants too?

Yeah when I say 2 gis it's jacket and pants lol
Not sure if you can see it but yeah pants and Jackets !

I've also tried different combo
a laptop + a gi (pants and jacket)
And I'm sure there's enough room for like 1 or 2 t shirts on top of all the crap I carry around

Oh and with the two gis I've been also able to squeeze my video camera in its bag
I'm def impressed with the amount of stuff you can put in
Cool thing too is the zippers !
They are super smooth

and sturdy. It also slides no matter how weirdly bend it is

The bag is also covered with climber hooks actually time to count !
10 climber hooks all over the shoulder straps, side and bottom of the bag !

Thanks for the review bro, well done. It was tons of fun coming by 10th Planet and seeing everyone there.

For the record in my pack I can stuff..

1 pair of MMA gloves
1 pair of 16oz gloves
1 gi
1 cup with compression shorts
1 ipod
1 fight shorts
2 rash guards
1 mouth guard
plus tape wraps etc.

so yes it can really fit all that, and if you pack lighter you can use the compression straps to keep it slim.

Yes I forgot to mention it ! on the side of the bag you got compression straps so your bag can look all slim and slick ;)

I'm still in L.A so I'm missing all my MMA/ muay thai gear by the looks of it I can put my MMA gloves in the front pockets and probably (most def) use the compression straps to get my shin guards on each side of the bag

And It's not like everyday you carry around two gis ! so you would have enough space to stick your 10 or 16 Oz gloves in

Thanks man
It's a cool product and I really like the idea of using hemp. I'm so sick and tired of those nylon crap ! (my previous bag was falling to pieces)
So I'll rather fork a bit more and get some quality gear than going cheap and having to buy a new one every 6 months
