Review on πŸŽ’ Black Speedo Tri Clops 50L Backpack by Brian Messerly

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for nomads (and triathletes I'm sure!)

The bag arrived this morning and although I haven't used it yet I'm very happy with it. I should note that I am not a triathlete and use this bag for hiking. Sorting through all the compartments and zippers is a bit confusing, but after a bit of fiddling it all becomes clear. I wasn't sure about the three zip system at first, but being able to open it like a duffel bag really helps. My only concern is that there is a tiny gap between them where they don't seem to close perfectly. Only problem in the rain (although this bag is still not waterproof). The helmet compartment is good for anything that doesn't need to be secured (no zip), so useful for mountaineering too. A sleeping bag fits in there well. The garbage bag is a nice feature and to be honest I still use the wet laundry compartment for my dirty clothes to air out. Great feature for the tourist. All in all, with the goal of creating a backpack for the triathlete, Speedo have created a near-perfect backpack for the backpacker, well done! I'm looking forward to a trip to Mexico and would definitely recommend this bag for light travelers (nomads!)

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
