Review on πŸŽ’ Black Speedo Tri Clops 50L Backpack by Cary Clemons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good idea, lousy execution

I didn't buy this for the triathlon but to carry winter and mountain bike gear I needed something organized and larger than other backpacks that I currently have to adapt to different shifts. While this pack is great in terms of organization, it has one very egregious flaw that makes it an annoying piece of junk. The main back panel needs a much thicker and stiffer plastic frame sheet behind the mesh padding as what's in there is so thin that when the top pocket is open, especially if there's something in it, and one of the three zippers on the body is open. While the backpack is on the base, the back panel folds back like sluggish noodles, making loading a huge pain. This pack is large enough that it can also benefit from either the frame cage or the fiberglass frame staves around the outside. frame sheet. At this price point, this poor design/oversight is pretty pathetic. This makes this pack uncomfortable to carry when fully loaded because too much weight is on the shoulders and less on the hips like any properly designed pack. Another downside is that the backpack straps need to be longer as they are barely long. enough for a small adult, let alone a normal sized or tall person.

Pros
  • good item
Cons
  • Short instructions
