Description

The Orca Transition Backpack is a triathlon race and training backpack with an integrated helmet compartment, a separate lower compartment for a wet wetsuit or trisuit, and a flat base that keeps it standing upright in transition. A zip system expands it by 15 cm for 5 extra litres, up to 40 litres in all.

Who it's for

Triathletes who arrive at race morning with a helmet, shoes, a wetsuit, nutrition and a bag of spares, and want them all on their back so both hands are free to wheel the bike in. It works just as well for the weekly swim-ride-run routine: Noosa or Mooloolaba race weekend, a Saturday brick session, or a squad swim before work with the bike gear packed for the ride home.

Capacity, and what actually fits

At its full size the pack holds 40 litres. When you do not need it all, keep the expansion zipped away; on race day, open the zip and the bag expands by 15 cm to take the extra layer or the post-race clothes. The helmet has its own integrated compartment, and the separate compartment underneath takes the wetsuit, trisuit and anything wet on the way home. Assorted pockets and protected compartments keep keys, phone, gels and race numbers sorted.

Dimensions: 50 x 35 x 21 cm, expanding by 15 cm.
Capacity: expands by 5 litres, to 40 litres in all.
Main fabric: 100 % polyester.

How it carries

Wide, padded shoulder straps and breathable back support stop the bag sitting directly against your back, helping to reduce sweat on the walk or ride to transition.

Access and organisation

The flat base means the pack stays upright on the grass beside your rack or on the change-room floor, so you can open it and see what you need instead of fishing around a bag lying on its side. Wet gear goes straight into the lower compartment, away from your dry clothes and helmet.

Looking after it

Empty the lower compartment as soon as you get home and leave it open to dry so the wetsuit compartment does not hold moisture. Wipe off salt, mud and sports drink with a damp cloth and air dry the pack out of direct sun.
