Solo New York All-Star Varsity Duffel Bag/ Backpack HyBrid

Tuesday, October 17, 2017

Two for the price of one is always a sound deal and so is this 2-in-1 Varsity bag by Solo New York which converts from duffel bag into backpack in seconds! The All-Star Varsity backpack by Solo New York is the perfect travel bag solution for a weekend away, mini vacation or for all-day, everyday use to commute to work.
The Solo New York All-Star weighs only 2.2 lbs so it's just under 1 kg in weight, making the backpack bag super lightweight. 
The longest side of the All-Star backpack bag measures 20 inches and 11 inches wide. The depth of the Solo New York All-Star is 5 inches.
Being both a backpack and duffel bag means you can carry the Solo New York All-Star over the shoulder or on your back.
The All-Star has a squarish/cylindrical shape with plenty of padding so it's comfortable to carry as a rucksack or shoulder bag without discomfort.
The All-Star backpack bag has a sleak design with smooth black nylon finish, red/white accents and sports zipper pulls.

There are a total of five external zippers in the Solo New York All-Star backpack that open up into compartments of different sizes. 
The main compartment in the Solo New York All-Star back-bag opens all the way up 180 degrees on the side, revealing a large zippered compartment as well as four smaller zippered compartments. 
Two of those zippered smaller compartments have see-through mesh and measure 8 inches long and 2.5 inches high.
The additional strap that comes with the Solo New York All-Star is for carrying the bag in duffel mode and can be easily unclipped and clipped. 
The duffel bag strap has the same padding as the backpack shoulder straps and can be adjusted all the way to 4 feet long down to 2.5 feet long. 
The back zipper compartment is designed for storage of the shoulder straps when converting the All-Star backpack into duffel bag mode. You can also use this space for storing thin items like a tablet.
The shoulder straps can be pulled in and out easily out of the back zipper compartment and measure 15 inches in length and 2.5 inches wide. The shoulder straps have a separation of 2 inches 
Padding on the shoulder straps is 0.5 inches thick with honeycomb-like nylon pattern on the exterior. The fitment of the chest strap can be adjusted up and down and down to size to fit different body sizes. 
The Solo New York All-Star backpack has a zippered compartment with a pouch on one of the sides for shoes or laundry.
