Great for the gym or for travel, the 'Breether' duffle bag features a compartment for wet items or exercise clothes to allow them to dry naturally as you go about your day. The 'Breether' is crafted from artificial leather and features water-repellant features that enable the bag to be used in a variety of different scenarios. The mesh windows on the side of the 'Breether' duffle bag design allow the interior section to maintain a breathable aesthetic without having to leave the bag open.
