"Ideal transition bag with large main compartment and several smaller zipped pockets to keep items safe. Waterproof lower compartment is v handy post swim. So far only used it for outdoor swimming and not yet used it for an event - but it'll certainly hold all my kit. Added bonus is the fact it is within the dimensions for airline hand luggage so will be used for travelling too!"
"Bag size is great, compartment sizes are good sizes. However the zips are awful. They are extremely weak and break very easily. I thought it was a default on one bag but have had multiple replacements and they have all the same issue. Would not recommend."
"I think the wetsuit compartment is a bit smaller. I would have preferred at least the opening larger. I need to squash and force the wetsuit in. The middle compartiment is really big. On the good side, it keeps your wet gear separated and it is large enough to fit a lot in."
"This bag is everything and more. Gone are the days of taking multiple kit bags to races. Everything fits perfectly in the transition backpack, and it has loads of smaller pockets for nutrition and all the smaller items needed for race day. I highly recommend this bag."
"Funktioneller Rucksack mit vielen Taschen um alles zu verstauen . Schönes Design . Größe des Rucksack ist ausreichend ."
"Really great bag, fits so much in and love the waterproof section. Comfortable to carry. Only downside is so many people have these that it may get swapped accidentally in transition!"
"Perfect functionality"
"An excellent backpack that has everything I need to store and carry my swimming gear safely, securely and comfortably."
"Great bag, good quality material. Built to last, lots of pocket for everything you need for transition. Highly recommend."
"I received one of these for Christmas in December 2022 (purchased via Wiggle) after being wowed by the beautiful layout and design but have been severely let down by the build quality and an issue with the zips which seems to be recurring feedback across the products reviews on this site and Amazon. . . The bag has been used at 10-15 Tri events over the last couple of years and the zips on the top compartment failed after a few uses. A bit of bad luck I thought. . until recently when the zips to the main compartment also failed. The product is out of warranty and the bag is now unusable. I was offered a 30% discount off a new bag and an acknowledgement of issues with previous batches of the bags - apparently now all fixed although I'm not sure judging by ongoing reviews. Apparently the zips didn't fail fast enough to merit a replacement. I appreciate the swift reply from Zone 3 but not the outcome I would have expected after a family member invested £80 in the gear for me. Time to switch brands for wetsuits, trisuits and gear to Huub or Orca after being letdown by the product quality. Buyer beware!"
