Look Closer at The BMF with Complex Media is all about giving you the opportunity to see the best footwear and sportswear in performance & lifestyle fashion in up-close and personal, high-quality portraiture served with a side of expert commentary. Inspired and provided by Senior Editor Sandy Dover.
This edition of Look Closer takes us to the Reef Duffel II, a multi-purpose travel bag that makes the most of a traditional structured duffel with the accouterments of a backpack.
Duffel bags generally are great load holders, but with too much load, make carrying more difficult that anyone prefers; backpacks have the opposite issue where sometimes too light a pack makes wearing it feel like a chore onto itself. The Duffel II combines the two distinct kinds and creates its own Frankenstein monster without the horror. There’s lots of pockets for storage, a main compartment for general packing, and a very understated bottom compartment that allows for soiled materials to lie beneath and ventilate, among several other features.
