Oakley TFG ‘Batman Kitchen Sink’ - The Dark Knight Rises Cast/Crew Backpack

Towards the end of the 1990s, Oakley decided to transfer their innovative expertise into the clothing market. The ‘Tactical Field Gear’ label specialised in producing pieces with highly technical designs and heavy military influence that were built to handle any conditions, futher cementing Oakley’s position as a leader of innovation. The Kitchen Sink backpack was the leading accessory from this line and gained popularity due to its practicality and heavy duty construction.

This particular one is from a small selection of backpacks that were purchased by Warner Brothers in 2012 to give to cast & crew members for use whilst filming ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. Warner Brothers replaced the Oakley icon with a metal Batman plaque and a patch was added above.

The backpack is constructed from a heavy duty nylon weave with nylon lining and padded sections for comfort. There are 2 main compartments: the front compartment features thermo-moulded parts and space for smaller items and the back compartment has enough space for larger items and a section for holding a laptop which is also easily accessible via a side-zip. There are also 2 zipped compartments on either side, a padded section behind the logo for valuables and a removable ‘belt’ section with smaller cargo pockets. It also features an assortment of technical features such as 3 metal hooks for attachments, 2 metal clips that secure the top of the bag, mesh wire zip pulls and an expandable waterproof section at the bottom of the bag to increase utility. With the high-quality build and great technical features, It is easy to see why this bag became so popular.

Great condition with no major flaws.
