"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""This is my new go-to for race weekends and gym sessions. The NDM harness is super stable, even when it’s packed full, and the shoe compartment keeps my dirty gear separate. I love that it opens flat for easy packing—everything has its place.""When our training routine takes us from the gym to the trail to the airport, the Buddy 40L Athlete Gear Pack is the versatile solution that adapts to every move. It’s compact enough to carry on board and rugged enough to take the hits of daily training use. With seven thoughtfully arranged compartments, including a ventilated shoe pocket and a padded laptop sleeve, this pack keeps gear organized, dry, and separate—even the sweaty stuff. The genius is in the details. A scratch-free pocket cradles our shades or race-day eyewear. The bounce-free NDM™ 3. 0 harness keeps the pack tight against our body during active missions—no shifting, no distractions. Velcro patch points add a custom touch, while compression straps adjust the volume for minimalist sessions or gear-loaded missions. Whether it’s our go-to gym bag, trail run companion, or race-day travel pack, the Buddy 40L earns a permanent spot in our gear rotation."
