Passing the smell test
I will concede that for some people, the best option is simply to lug a work bag and workout duffel, or vice versa.
But for some of us, that is just not realistic or convenient, especially if you are commuting by bike or scooter or motorcycle and truly need to consolidate everything on your back.
Lots of bags can suffice here, but one thing I love about the Convertible Totepack — the second Kickstarter project from Portland, Oregon-based entrepreneur and Megabeta founder Jono Sanders — is its unique front pocket.
Lined with activated carbon cloth, this 5L compartment is designated as a “smell-proof” place to stash your climbing shoes.
Anyone who’s been in a climbing gym knows the odors are positively eye-watering, leading me to believe this liner could easily shield your CrossFit, running or cycling shoes from your co-workers.
