I have been using my King Kong bag for about 4 years. I love it. Holds everything. Still in good shape. I don’t use the shoe compartment for the reason you mentioned. I just drop my shoes into the main part of the bag with my other stuff. I was curious about the Haven bags. Thank you for the review!
I've been using king kong for a few years now. I loved it at the beginning, but with time the main strap broke, some of the zippers tip broke, the bag it self became very saggy, so its harder to put bottles in and out during training and also the shoes compartment isnt really comfortable so i throw my shoes in the main compartment. Hard to find a bag that check all boxes.
I have the same bag. But i find it too big for me. Im planning to get the small version next year. I really like how organized the haven is. Really great for gym goers who like to open their gym bag and can get their stuff easily without digging in. Very durable too.
You should do a giveaway for your old bags, or maybe a fundraiser!!! I love the King Kong bag but haven't had a long time to test it, let's be honest time is the real test on our gym bags because we beat them up pretty good
Haven took hundreds of preorders for a bag with a false promise on the delivery date. So far, they've pushed it back two separate times for a total of 4+ months. It will be at least 6 months before they fill orders. They take zero responsibility for it, and only match the new Black Friday price if you really hound them. When they email you to announce the next delay, they make themselves out to be the biggest victim. Crazy mentality for a 'luxury' brand. If you are reading this and considering a Haven bag... here's some advice. Set your money on fire and use a grocery bag. It'll be a more satisfying, better value. Buyer beware.
I like using hiking backpacks. You could probably easily fit all that in a 100L backpack (probably even a 60L). You can get a good 100L backpack for under $50. The King Kong bag is just soooo expensive.
Just thought you might want to know that King Kong now sells bag dividers you can rearrange how you like and they hold up pretty nicely. Seems like you get the best of both worlds doing that option.
Review the core duffel from knkg the 51 liter with the dividers! I want to see which one to get between that one and the plus duffel
Will do!! Love the dividers!!!

King Kong is such a great bag. Good to hear how well it's held up for you.

Time for a new bag for sure. Their newer bags are bulletproof.
@@JasonGrubb yes for sure. It's also black friday time. I am contemplating between the two.
What do you think of the Heritage bag from king kong ?
I haven't looked at it, honestly
Agreed. Quality zippers make the bag!
Been looking for a new bag. Going back and forth from a back pack to duffel style for my next one. Thanks for the feedback!
Glad it was helpful!

King Kong just sent me their core duffle... I've got a review coming out. It might just be the best of both worlds.
@@JasonGrubb ive seen some reviews of ghe new king kong with separate organizers. Price is almost like haven
Thanks for the review! I am leaning more towards the king kong bags.
Definitely dig the King Kong... knkg.com/jasongrubb
Underrated video. This was extremely helpful thank you my man!
Glad it helped!
those original bags don't look like they have been washed in years.
ha ha!
Which bag do you prefer now ?
I still haven't changed out of the Haven, but am thinking I'll probably switch to the king kong for the games 🤷♂️

That's a great idea Mark!!!
2 bags to the gym lol
I think with king kongs new line they have a divider and it does the same thing. The divider also collapses so you can make more room if needed
I have a divider coming in the mail to check out!
@jason grubb did you add another jump rope to that bag? lol the beaded jump ropes from elementary school for cross overs. 😂
I did 🤦♂️ It's getting out of control
Great reviews! Now for the hard part, picking one....lol
You and me both!
Came to review the bag now im interested in what shoes you had on 😂
Thank you!

Ha ha!! Love the share.
Love the product reviews! I’ve also picked up some good tips for my camping and gym on the go setups. Thanks man!
Glad to hear you enjoy these videos!

A hiking backpack is definitely something that I considered... these bags definitely feel like a spurge - and they're both darn good!!
The Heritage bag from king kong is a splurge lol 600 bucks 😅
Great review. Thanks
sure thing!

I believe I've got some coming from King Kong and am pretty excited to check that option out!
@@JasonGrubb sick. Looking forward to your review and if it changes your opinions
Excellent review!
Thanks for watching
Big fan of my Haven duffle! Best bag out there
It's fantastic!
$100 off all Haven duffles tomorrow I think
Who is filming? Show us the bag in the shot not his face! I’m interested in the bag not his head.!
A new video is coming soon!!
Maybe u need less stuff 😂😂
Ha ha!!! Nah - just more bag!
@@JasonGrubb And I thought my EDC was extra 💀
Absolutely nothing beats an aviation bag…kept mine once I got out. Enough room to stash my parachute in….enough room for all this gear plus some.
Good stuff!
@@JasonGrubb of course! They’re usually around 60+ liters for size and beyond tough with 100D codura. Can thank me later or a cup of Dunkin coffee 🤘🏻
Bro You're a Hoader. Kinda ridiculous BRO!
total hoarder.
