I've owned this bag (35L core duffel) for about 6 months now and I can comment on some of the things I like and dislike about the bag. I go to the gym and work separately, so I do not bring this bag to the gym with plans to shower and go to work after (I've done it once and it is possible, but the bag will be very full). For reference, I typically carry a lifting belt, lifting straps, 2 D-handles, a rope for cable machines, an extra pair of running shoes and flip flops, my EDC (wallet, phone, keys, knife, heroclip), and a 24 ounce hydroflask. Pros: Affordable, especially when there's a sale or some coupons available. They also provide discounts for military so that's nice. The weight is very nice, especially when you're sore/exhausted. The hardware along the strap is metal on my bag, so I'm more confident in its durability compared to the one in your sample. If you want more organization, they have dividers you can but that fit perfectly inside of it. The look is super lowkey which I love. It keeps you focused in a way since it's not an item you feel the need to flex. The lifting belt spot is unbelievably genius for a duffel bag because it allows you to externally store the belt instead of internally which gives you so much more usable space. Whoever came up with this at king kong deserves an award. Cons: The stitching like you mentioned gets frayed very quickly. I emailed King Kong about this, and they said it's normal as a result of the excess material during the stitching process itself, which I thought made no sense. They did offer to replace my bag at no extra cost so that was reassuring. If the bag is not filled up, the zippers have a hard time getting all the way around due to getting caught on some lining on the inside. It's not a deal breaker, but it can be annoying. The laptop pocket isn't perfect, but I've found it usable for other things such as a make shift divider for smaller items I don't want mixed in with my gym specific stuff. As a laptop sleeve itself though, 4/10. Overall I got my bag on sale at $110 and I'm extremely happy with it. The warranty seems strong and the bag is really no BS. Quality is mediocre, but expected at the price point and I still expect my bag to last a long time. If you're looking for a bag that you can take to the gym and hold all of your essentials (and maybe sometimes more) then I think this bag is an excellent choice. I've only ever had crappy $30 duffel before this, so I think this is a huge step up for casual to even hard-core gym goers.

I wonder if they changed the material because on the website it says 500 D nylon body material (pvc backing) and nylon webbing and lining? Or is the pvc backing the nylon perhaps?

I bought this bag a few weeks ago and here are some observations. Decent bag. The belt storage helps but the inside is pretty small. I pack my work clothes in it after I change since I go to crossfit after work. The shoe compartment is tight and I only wear a size 9. Has come unzipped under pressure every day since owning it. Also the velco that holds the handles together also comes undone often. The lap compartment separator is not rigid at all and actually creates more aggravation than it helps. I keep my knee sleeves in it and it just flops open.

I have a lever belt, does anyone have any issues with the belt compartment (especially when the bag and pockets are full) since a lever belt is usually pretty thick and of course has a lever?

They do have a quick video and they do say it “can fit” a lever belt but the bag doesn’t seem full in the video so it’s hard to tell if the lever gets in the way of the pockets and such.
