Award-Winning Commuter Backpacks

Separate sweaty kit & shoes

TL;DR

Use the expandable shoe pocket for trainers or damp layers and the anti-microbial laundry bag (included in sets) to contain sweat and odour.

How do I keep sweaty kit and shoes separate from clean items?

Every Stolt backpack is designed to segregate clean and used gear. The expandable front/bottom pocket is made for shoes or bulkier items; it increases capacity (e.g., Alpha from 20 L to 25 L) and keeps dirt away from your laptop and clothes. Place your trainers or post-gym kit here to protect the main compartment. 

For clothing, use the laundry bag (part of Stolt commuter sets). It’s purpose-built for sweaty kit — zip it up to contain moisture and odour until you can wash the items. The bag is lightweight and easy to clean; let it air-dry between uses.

Tip: put heavier items close to your back for stability, then shoes in the expandable pocket. This keeps the centre of gravity tight and the carry comfortable on the move.
