Its been said that shopping is the fourth discipline of triathlon. Like it or not this is true for me, competing in a race that includes three different disciplines comes with a ton of gear. This is really good stuff to like carbon fiber, titanium & high-tech fabrics. One issue is how to store, organize & pack all your stuff to races or training sessions. After misplacing & not knowing for sure what was in the bag I set out on the quest for the best triathlon bag to grace the Earth.
For starters I have to say I’ve been a conosur of quality backpacks over the years. (Backpacking, rock climbing, snow boarding…) I have come across what I this is not only the best triathlon pack but possibly the best all-around backpack to date!
Introducing the Rocket Science Sports “Rocket Bag” (Link to web site)
For starters this bag has a specific place for everything, including; swim gear/wet suit, run gear, bike gear, heart rate monitors, sunglasses, nutrition, water bottles, race licenses, mp3 player, cell phone & helmet. Those are ALL well organized individual compartments.
This backpack is comfortable even when fully loaded. The shoulder straps, waist belt & surface that is against your back are all amazing. The ventilation, adjust ability & cushion are impressive.
As if all the above items aren’t enough…the construction quality is some of the best I’ve seen in outdoor gear. Every detail of this backpack amazing. This is an example of smart engineering, thoughtful design & quality construction.
The one & only downfall I can find is an areo helmet may not fit all that well…but I don’t have one so its not an issue for me. But did I mention it even came with a transition mat…
