TYR Elite Transition Backpack

TYR Elite Convoy Transition Backpack - White/BlackIf you are a tri athelite looking for a bag to help divide up all the individuals needs for an event this is your back. It divides up into three compartments and slips easily under the bike for storage in between events. It has nine compartments for all your individual needs to stow stuff. The neat thing about it is that it has an adustable back to adjust for various heights. It wears like a back pack and it has a waist strap to secure to yourself to help keep the load off the back. Highly recommend.

I really like TYR, and I was very hopeful that this bag would be amazing. I really like the concept of how it opens so you can easily store and access all your gear. But it has so many plastic clips to try and hold everything together and it just never seems very solid. When not on race day I was hoping to use this bag on my towny and carring my bike chain and lock. But they way it is made it's simply not good and holding any heavy items. Also one of the plastic clips broke within a week.

I am returning the bag. Hopefully TYR will fix some of the short falls of the bag soon.

And in theory, great concept, but practically does not work as well. Triathletes are about speed, simplicity and reducing the variables; this pack conceptual theory embodies that, but not practically. I think there are way too many straps; they take time to fasten and then they get in the way. Personally, I am disappointed especially as the concept is so good.

Plenty of room for everything including bike helmet and wetsuit. Almost too many little compartments for storage of all your little supplies and gizmos. This should actually come with instructions on the intended use of each section, but I guess they just leave it up to you. Not sure how I worked without it.

I love the bag. The divides are helpful, there is tons of room, and it being a backpack is wonderful. I took away a star because it can be a pain to get into for one small item or two. It is made to be opened all the way overtime. Truly a transition bag. I also think the straps that adjust the shoulder pads are to thin. They are the weak point.
