Construction

Where Gym Duffels Fail: and What We Do About It

Three places, all decided at sample stage. None of them show up in a photo.
1

The base blows out at the corners

Specify how the bag will be used and its expected exposure to water or wear. We review the fabric, coating, seams, openings and reinforcement together. Any waterproof or durability claim needs agreed testing on the finished construction.
See: Design & Structure · Material Guide
2

The U-zip fails at the ends

A U-shape opening has two zip ends that take all the stress when the bag is overpacked. We use #8–#10 coil or moulded zips with two sliders, reinforce both ends and add a zip garage on premium builds.
See: Trims & Hardware · Inline Inspection
3

The shoe tunnel smells through

A shoe tunnel that is only a fabric divider from the main body transfers odour. We line it, vent it with 100–200 GSM mesh and isolate it with its own zip: and step that zip up a size because shoes go in at an angle.
