Bigger Yella Duffel
Why We Built It
The Bigger Yella wasn’t designed to look good on a shelf or in the truck, but it does.
It was built for people who move between sites, carry gear, and work in environments where equipment failure isn’t an option.
Years spent on the ground in mining and heavy industry showed us the same problem over and over again: bags that tore, zippers that failed, and designs that didn’t account for dirty, wet, awkward, or oversized gear. This is our response to that reality.
Built in collaboration with Covergalls, the Bigger Yella combines field-driven design with Canadian manufacturing expertise and nothing in it is accidental.

Care & Maintenance
To Maintain the Product’s Performance and Durability, we Recommend the Following:
- Cleaning: Wipe the duffel with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Zipper Care: Zippers can clog up with dirt and debris over time, especially if you’re working in dusty or gritty environments. To keep them running smoothly, give them a proper clean and lubrication twice a year—or more often if you're on high-debris job sites. Use a toothbrush and some mild soapy water to scrub the zipper coils clean, then blow them out with compressed air to clear any lingering grit. Once dry, apply a light coat of silicone spray, beeswax, or a zipper-safe lubricant to keep things moving.
- Avoid Heat and Sharp Tools Near the Zippers: Extreme heat or contact with sharp objects can permanently damage your zippers. Once a coil is nicked, melted, or cut, it can’t be fixed. A common cause of damage is storing tools blade-up or edge-out—make sure anything sharp is packed with the business end pointed down and away from the zippers.
- Proper Use: Fasten the buckles properly and adjust straps to fit securely and comfortably on the wearer. Avoid dragging duffel or snagging seams on sharp objects. The Bigger Yella is built tough, but forcing in too much gear can put unnecessary strain on the zippers. If you’re struggling to close the bag, it’s a sign it’s overloaded. Repack or lighten the load to avoid causing the zippers to separate or fail over time.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent exposure to extreme conditions.
