Built For Athletes Backpack

Built For Athletes, the premium performance backpack and luggage brand trusted by athletes worldwide, today announced the launch of the Training Backpack.

Built For Athletes has spent eight years making bags for athletes who don’t compromise. The Training Backpack is the product of that, a bag that takes everything that has worked across the range and puts it in one place. It sits in the sweet spot between the brand’s largest and smallest designs, offering enough space for a full day of kit without the weight of a larger bag. Whether it’s training, travel, or the commute, it’s the bag you reach for without thinking twice.

The Training Backpack, available in five colourways: Black, Black & Aqua, Black & Pink, Black & Red, and Black & White, features an expanded front patch panel, improved internal organisation, and a dedicated waterproof pocket to keep wet or used kit separate.

A padded, isolated laptop compartment provides extra protection for devices on the move, while the ergonomic back panel distributes weight evenly and encourages airflow for all-day comfort. Finished with stitched laser-cut MOLLE construction and premium YKK® zips and trims, the backpack maintains the build quality Built For Athletes is known for.

What’s New:

  • Expanded front Velcro panel with 50% more patch coverage
  • Two large front zipped pockets, including one with waterproof fabric construction
  • New ergonomic back panel designed to improve comfort and airflow
  • Dedicated padded laptop compartment, fitting devices up to 16″
  • Large internal drybag-lined storage pocket for added organisation
  • Upgraded buckle and sternum strap construction for improved durability and fit
  • Enhanced structure for improved shape retention and a more premium silhouette

Danny Costello, CEO of Built For Athletes, comments: “Every product we’ve made has taught us something. We know what our community relies on, what they come back to tell us about, and what they say they can’t train or travel without. The Training Backpack is the product of all of that. It’s the features that have worked, brought together in one bag.”
