RAGGEDedge's Pack Mule 112L recycled bag design has an exterior that looks sleek and shiny, but this doesn't come from being all new. The bag is actually made from a weather-resistant carbon fiber sailcloth that was initially intended to be able to withstand whatever nature threw its way on the high seas. Now, this material gets a second life as a bag that's ideal for outdoor adventuring.
In addition to being made of ultra durable material, the construction of the bag itself is designed to handle more than the average wear and tear. The main storage part of the bag has a lockable double zip opening and handles that make sure the weight is evenly distributed when you're hauling it over your shoulder. For easy unloading, the design also includes two straps on either end of the duffle.
