Triathlon Bag: the best bag on the market
January 1, 2003
by Lance Phegley
Stop carrying your gear in an old, worn-out gym bag. The
RTN Review Board has found the best bag on the market,
the Triathlon Bag.The Triathlon Bag features over 2400 cubic inches to safely and
securely stash your gear for your next workout or race - all
within a compact 16" x 16" x 6" space. The bag is made of
durable Cordura and nylon, with polyester mesh pockets for
storage. There are ample pockets both inside and outside the
bag providing nearly limitless options on how to store your
gear. In fact, according to the company, you can easily fit the
following items into the Triathlon Bag at the same time: full-
body wet suit, camelbak, running shoes, bike shoes, shorts, bike
shirts, pants, towels, socks, goggles, number belt, glasses,
helmet, bike gloves, sunscreen, water bottle, energy bars, carbo
gels, sandals, swim gear, kick board, anti fog aids, running
hat, and a bike pump. The bag unfolds to allow easy access to
each and every storage pocket, so loading and unloading is a
breeze (no more having to take out nearly every item in the bag
to find the lucky pair of goggles lost at the bottom). The Triathlon Bag faced the RTN Review Board testers
recently when two of our testers tried to put all of their gear
into one bag for a relay trip. Essentially, they put all the
equipment and clothing for two triathletes into one Triathlon
Bag. Surprisingly, everything fit very neatly into the bag -
with extra space for a couple of RTNs to read during the
trip. Once at the race site, the bag could be easily worn as a
backpack on the way to the transition, or carried with the
shoulder strap (the bag also has rubber handles as a third
carrying option). During the race, the bag retains its shape so
it stays out of the way, even in a cramped transition area. The ventilated pockets allow wet gear to dry, while damp
clothing can be separated from the dry clothes for after the
race. Other neat features include a cell phone holder, money
pocket and a fastener for key rings. The Triathlon Bag fits
conveniently in the overhead bin on an airplane or you can lock
the zippers to check it through. It comes with a one-year
warranty against defects in materials or workmanship and is made
in the USA. Order your Triathlon Bag (available in red, black, yellow, or
navy) for $89.95 at www.triathlonbag.com.
