I own the grey core 51 bag. It’s a good bag but the dividers are a must. I bought my bag and the bag swallows up all your stuff. I ordered the dividers weeks ago and they still haven’t came. So shipping with this company is brutal. The bag zipper areas do breakdown after a while and beating up the bag but also always make sure to fully zip your bag, each pocket. Because if you don’t the weight of the bag pulls on the open zippers causing more wear and tear. The bag is super nice but also if you’re a bigger person like me I use a 2xl SBD belt and that doesn’t fit in the belt holder. It bows out and extends beyond the bag about 6-8 inches and is a pain in the butt to put in and take out. I end up just storing my belt in my bag cause it’s easier. But it takes up so much space. Be mindful of it. I sometimes want the huge bag they sell but seems like that’s overkill. The bag does get pretty heavy so just know lugging it around is a feat in itself.
I think the divided makes it a winner in many ways. I’ve been looking for a divider for my old duffles and this one fits my Nike duffles perfectly. Haven bags have the dividers but are too expensive so it doesn’t make sense to drop 300 on a bag. Really like the new features and look of King Kong. Might invest in their actually duffle in the future but for now the divider is the star imo
FYI, there is a shoe compartment, you missed talking about the 2 side zipper pockets that open from above along the side. One of them you can fit shoes up to like size 13-14 and its contained. It does eat into the space a little bit.
There is also a neat trick for that backpack not many people know. If you really need room in a pinch or want to bring a foam roller/tripod/monopod or something, you can unzip the bottom, inside out that pocket. Walla, you just expanded another 8" deeper and another 10L+ of space. :)
These bags are built like tanks which is great for durability but they’re super rigid and HEAVY. Also, beware their customer service is awful in my experience if you need to return.
I have the smaller core because i see this video and think it will be perfect and run small to me. I bought core51 and maybe i need 48 lt so, i have room for more gym stuff 😂
Avoid their large sizes! 51 Duffel fits ALL my gear, but I only use it as storage now cause it is INSANELY HEAVY and awkward to carry around, doesn't fit in any lockers, and takes way too much space in the gym area. I keep it in my car permanently and use 25L Core backpack with selected items to carry around the gym.

As a Goruck fan, ballistic nylon can reach break in over time.

Would that belt compartment on the outside fit a SBD belt?
How long did it take for your order to get to you? I rushed shipped. No confirmation email and no idea when it'll ship. Hope it comes....
Did it ever come?

How does it compare to the Haven Athletic?
I bought the divider and it feels really similar. I placed it in my Nike bag and I love it the same.
Have you checked out the kriger bag
I did but it was the first version that isn’t really that great. They fixed a lot of the issues with the second though.
Just me being petty... 😂... their colors are awful.
