Zoot Ultra Tri Bag, Triathlon Transition Backpack with Wet Storage for Men & Women Athletes, Race Day, Travel & Train, Black

This bag holds everything I need for a race, with some room to spare. There are lots of pockets and compartments to store and sort everything. The helmet pocket has a stretchy mesh liner so that items in the neighboring pocket can use the empty space of the inside of the helmet but be kept separate. There is even room inside for bike / run shoes and a water bottle. The top has a nice padded pocket for sunglasses. And side pockets for quick grab items.My only complaints are that the front two pockets have a pair of small holes between them, so items can move around, and that the wetsuit pouch seems like it would tear easily. I had heard of this latter issue ahead of buying, so just make sure to handle it with some care and have had no problems.

I’m a road cyclist and bought this bag for weekend trips. What initially caught my eye was the helmet compartment - I’ve been using a basic North Face backpack and have to tote my helmet separately. Got this bag on Tuesday and immediately saw that it would work beautifully. I have a three day bike trip starting today and was able to pack a bunch of stuff: helmet, gloves, cycling shoes, a bunch of Clif Bars and Shots, bike computer, Varia, power cords, two extra jerseys, extra pair of shorts, 2 pair Sox, wind jacket, couple of shirts, jeans, undies, bra, iPad, big toiletries bag, and two water bottles (whew)! Incredibly there’s still room to spare if I need it.Just a great bag and if you’re a traveling cyclist, a must have and well worth the $160 price tag.

I really love this backpack! There’s a pocket for just about anything you need for your races. I’m also planning on using it as a carryon while traveling. Great product!

This bag works perfectly for triathlons and easily holds my gear and keeps me organized.

I have only had this bag for about a week but so far so good. I will update the review in 6 months or so to see how it holds up but my initial impression is:Overall great quality - and it should be for $160. It serves its purpose of giving all my tri gear an organized place so that it isn't scattered all around the house or in closets. The zippers are great and the material feels very high quality. It is also super comfortable - on the same level of comfort to my Gregory Baltoro 65 backpacking bag that set me back $300.An unexpected bonus is that the sinch straps on the sides are a great place to hold your full-size bike pump to transport as needed.1. I am giving it 4 stars to start with because there is only one smallish (it's big enough but barely) small item pocket at the front top. There really should be another small pocket on the side or something that you can hold small items to separate things like a wallet, phone, and keys from things like chain oil, cycling gloves, race belt, and goggles. There are two zipper components in the main pack area but they are mesh and seem a little fragile. I am using them now but am a little worried about longevity.2. The upper large compartment is not self-contained. It is basically a flap, open on either side, similar to where you would keep your sleeping bag in backpacking packs. I can't think of the reason for this as it isn't for drainage and at best, you can store a dry towel or something in there. Things like extra socks or underwear that would make sense to keep in this compartment can easily fall through to the lower section of the bag. To me, this is a pretty big design flaw and significantly affects the functionality and usability of the bag. To fix this and use it the way it makes sense to me is to put a grocery bag in this pocket to keep small clothing in so that it is easily accessible from the top access compartment.Will do my first update in August after my next triathlon.

IMPRESIONANTE

I use this bag for triathlon. Everything fits (both running and cycling shoes, helmet, wetsuit, etc). The accessibility is great! It’s not too big for the transition area either! Awesome bag!

Great bag for all my pool trips and future triathlons
