MED PAC & SHOULDER EG ED

The Third Collaboration Between CHROME and ENGINEERED GARMENTS

This is the third collaboration between CHROME and ENGINEERED GARMENTS.

It brings together ENGINEERED GARMENTS’ signature attention to detail and CHROME’s expertise in creating functional bags for urban life. The result is a special model that reflects the unique character of both brands.

Taking a different approach from their previous collaborations, this model combines military-inspired design with practical storage solutions to create a fresh new style of bag.

Feature 1 | A Military-Inspired Design Unlike Anything in CHROME’s Previous Collections

The first thing you’ll notice about the MED PAC & SHOULDER EG ED is its military-inspired design, which gives it a distinctive look compared to CHROME’s previous bags.

It comes in two color options: BLACK and OLIVE. The rugged design gives the bag a strong military feel, while remaining versatile enough to complement everyday outfits.

The bag features logos bearing the names of both CHROME and ENGINEERED GARMENTS, adding a special touch that highlights its collaborative design.

There’s also printed text on the inside of the flap, adding another military-inspired detail that shows the attention to detail throughout the design.

The bottom of the bag is also equipped with three straps. These can be used to secure and carry items such as a jacket, mat, or folding umbrella.

It’s a practical detail that adds versatility to the bag, going beyond its distinctive appearance.

Feature 2 | 2-Way Design: Backpack or Shoulder Bag

This model features a 2-way carrying system, allowing you to use it as either a backpack or a shoulder bag.

You can easily switch between carrying styles depending on the situation, how much you’re carrying, or what you’re wearing. It’s versatile enough for everyday use, commuting, and travel.

Use It as a Shoulder Bag

Attach the detachable shoulder strap to carry the bag over your shoulder.

The shoulder strap features a buckle that allows you to adjust its length with a simple one-touch operation. This makes it easy to find the right fit and carry the bag at your preferred height.

Use It as a Backpack

The backpack straps are padded for added comfort. The sections that come into contact with your body are made with mesh fabric, helping provide a more comfortable fit when carrying the bag on your back.

The backpack style is especially convenient when you’re carrying a heavier load or want to keep both hands free while on the move.

Both Straps Are Removable

Both the shoulder strap and backpack straps can be removed.

If you only plan to use one carrying style, simply remove the straps you don’t need. This keeps the bag neat and streamlined without any unnecessary straps getting in the way.

There’s also a handle at the top of the bag, giving you another option for carrying it by hand.

Feature 3 | Exceptional Storage with 17 Pockets

One of the standout features of this model is its 17 numbered pockets, thoughtfully arranged throughout the bag.

Storage compartments can be found in various locations, including the main compartment, front, sides, and inside the flap. The carefully designed layout makes it easy to organize smaller items by type and keep everything in its place.

Let’s take a closer look at each of the 17 pockets.

① Large Side Pocket with an Expandable Gusset

One of the first things you’ll notice is the large pocket on the side of the bag.

It features a generously sized gusset, making it easy to store bulkier items. There’s also a smaller pocket inside for additional organization.

This design offers plenty of storage space while still allowing you to keep smaller belongings neatly separated.

② Upper Front Pocket

The upper front section features a convenient pocket for smaller essentials that you want to access quickly.

③ & ④ Two Side-by-Side Lower Front Pockets

Two additional pockets sit side by side on the lower front section of the bag.

Having separate pockets on the left and right makes it easy to organize smaller items and keep them within easy reach.

⑤–⑧ Four Pockets Behind the Front Flap

Open the front flap and you’ll find four more pockets arranged side by side.

These compartments make it easy to sort smaller belongings by type, preventing items from getting mixed together and making everything easier to find.

⑨ Shallow Pocket Inside the Main Compartment

There’s also a shallow pocket inside the main compartment.

Next to it are two pen holders, providing a handy place to organize pens and other writing tools.

⑩ Fleece-Lined Laptop Sleeve

The main compartment also features a dedicated sleeve for carrying a laptop.

The interior is lined with fleece, providing a soft surface for storing your laptop and helping protect it from scratches.

It’s a practical feature for anyone who regularly carries a laptop for work.

⑪ Hidden Pocket

There’s even a hidden pocket tucked away somewhere on the bag.

This model is full of thoughtful storage details, even in places you might not expect. See if you can find it when you get a chance to check out the bag in person!

⑫ Main Compartment

This is the main storage area at the center of the bag.

With a generous 30L capacity, it offers plenty of room not only for everyday essentials but also for a change of clothes, travel gear, and other larger items.

⑬ & ⑭ Small Side Pockets with Flaps

Two small flap pockets are located on the side of the bag.

These provide convenient storage for keeping smaller items separate and organized.

⑮ Long Horizontal Pocket Inside the Flap

There’s another long, horizontal pocket on the inside of the flap.

It’s easy to access whenever you open the bag, making it a convenient spot for smaller essentials.

⑯ Small Card-Sized Pocket Inside the Flap

There’s also a small card-sized pocket inside the flap.

It’s ideal for storing cards and other small essentials that you want to keep neatly organized.

⑰ Side Pocket with Drawstring Closure

Last but not least is the side pocket on the opposite side of the large pocket featured in section ①.

This pocket has a drawstring closure, allowing you to adjust the opening to suit whatever you’re carrying.

Having two side pockets with different designs and functions is another distinctive feature of this bag.

30L Capacity and Practical Laptop Storage

It’s not just the number of storage compartments that makes this bag appealing. Its overall capacity is another major advantage.

With a generous 30L capacity, it’s suitable for a wide range of uses, from everyday outings and commuting to travel. The 17 pockets also make it easy to organize your belongings and keep everything in its place.

The dedicated laptop sleeve is another useful feature, making this bag a great option for anyone who needs to carry a laptop regularly.

With its distinctive design and highly practical storage layout, the MED PAC & SHOULDER EG ED is well worth considering if you’re looking for a bag that combines standout style with everyday functionality.
