Four structural differences. Each one fixes a failure mode in cheap mesh bags.
1. Three compartments, not one open pocket. Cheap bags hold both shoes together. They bash each other through the cycle. Our kit has two outer compartments (one shoe per side) plus a centre compartment for laces and insoles.
2. Concealed self-locking zipper. Cheap bags use single-thread zip tape stitched once. They open mid-cycle within three washes. Our zipper faces inward, self-locks, and was stress tested to 50 cycles at 60 degrees and 1400 rpm without opening once.
3. ISO 105-C06 grade 4 colour fastness. Cheap bags are yellow, green or grey polyester. They transfer dye onto light-coloured shoes over multiple cycles. Our bag is chalk inside and out. Tested to the international standard for textile wash-resistance.
4. Stress tested for the life of the product. Cheap bags are not tested at all. Ours holds at 50 cycles at the highest temperature and spin most domestic machines do.
