The Buddy 40L Athlete Gear Backpack offers a versatile design ideal for race day, gym, and travel. It features the NDM™ 3.0 harness that locks the pack tightly to the torso, preventing bounce. The pack opens flat with two clamshell compartments for easy access. A separate shoe pocket keeps dirty gear separate from clean items. The scratch-resistant top pocket stores glasses, phone, or passport, and a padded laptop compartment offers protected quick access. Compression straps adjust the fit for varying loads.
