The Patent-Pending Gear-Klip was exclusively designed for Easton Baseball/Fastpitch backpacks, allowing players to hang their gloves, helmets, cleats, and other gear on the outside of the backpack. This unique feature conserves valuable interior storage space and prevents dirt and odour from cleats and gloves from entering the main storage area of the bag.
