With the goal of inspiring competitive runners, Boston based brand Tracksmith crafts performance running gear that encourages them to indulge in the sport’s rich culture. Their Mission Top Loader, steeped in tradition, does just that. The elegant simplicity of the top-load silhouette, the durability and rugged good looks of the waterproof waxed canvas, and the leather bottom that protects against wet, muddy or snowy ground make this piece a must-have in a runner’s arsenal.
And when the weather doesn’t cooperate, don’t fear. Not only is this duffel waterproof, but the leather bottom doubles as a separate shoe compartment, lined to handle the dirt and mud and keep your shoes away from the rest of your gear. Plus, the extra-large zipper pulls allow you to open it easily with cold or gloved fingers.
With leather reinforced corners and accents, this is a bag built tough-as-nails. So go ahead and do your worst. The Mission Top Loader, with metal clasps, grommets and zipper pulls, can take whatever you throw at it, and it will just get better with use.
