Hi, my name is Antoine Auriol, I'm 36 years old and I'm a pro kitesurfer, a sportsman-traveler embodying documentaries on ecology, and a reporter on board (almost) flying boats.
Before leaving for the final of the Pro Sailing Tour between Toulon and Brest, I met the LA VIRGULE team. We did a videoconference that allowed me to meet a group of young entrepreneurs full of good energy, with a super interesting upcycling project! Basically, they recover technical materials from other sectors (kite and paragliding fabrics, yoga mats, climbing mats, hypalon - semi-rigid fabrics, etc.), which they wash and then reuse to make super cool backpacks!
They offered me to test their Duffel Bag. The moment came at the right time, because I was leaving for a week at sea on a competition boat…
So I chose to test the yellow duffel bag (my favorite color). A light and super resistant 35L bag, cylindrical in shape, at the top when you want to use it as a pillow on a boat!
The bag is super comfortable, resistant to spray, it is super simple and accessible! It helps in a boat that moves all the time. No need to look long because the zipper that you open gives access to the 35L space, where I had my few spare clothes.
