Saw these guys recently at a race..
For the 'neat freaks' among us, these look great for race days and trips away...

Pretty steep at 40 quid a bag, but looked really well made, and a tidy solution..

Yep, pricey and a bit niche but they are nice. They helped out a friend's RAAM attempt and they were apparently great for organising all the clothes, spares, food, first aid stuff, etc needed. Can see them going down well with the triathlon crowd.

An IKEA bag does me fine for the back of the car though.

Well, it is the new golf, so I agree.

Seem stupidly expensive for me. As above, an IKEA bag would fit the bill just as well. As would a well segmented duffle bag. I've got a LifeVenture one with three big compartments, one of which is vented for wet kit etc. Very easy to keep everything organised in that, and I can also use it as, well, a bag.

Those look like the solution to a problem which doesn't exist.

*Edit - I seem to remember that in one of their earlier promo photos, they showed the boot of a car to illustrate the product. With an IKEA bag in there as well.

those boxy supermarket "bag for life" do pretty well for me - nice handles, carry a lot or a little and only take up as much space as the stuff that's in them.

Take several and put different stuff in each - ingenious "open" tops mean you can see easily which one's which.

Nice idea but not as classy as my Booths carrier bag.

See, I'd be inclined to disagree...
I've got a duff-bag which, although spacious, is a tough place to find anything..
I used an ikea bag this weekend for a race, and though massive, stuff tumbled out of it and...

..oh FFS, who am I trying to kid...!!

I'm a bag-freak, I love tech, and this is a neat shiny thing....

I'm just making excuses for the pair I just ordered aren't I!!

I like them, and anyone who has ever done any overland stuff in a 4x4 could probably see the benefits as well.
in fact, compared to the Pelicases that the 4x4 crowd love, these bags are cheap!

Ikea bags aren't a "robust British military design" that's fer sure 🙂

They look like the same size as those cheap cool bags you get in supermarkets for a couple of quid.

Buy a few of them and put inside an Ikea bag for a 'modular system'. Get yourself a sharpie permanent marker and label the tops accordingly if you must.

A fraction of the cost and far less ****y.

You're right. They're probably much tougher than a "British military design" would ever be! 😉

I love the idea - the price is a joke though.

however i think they would be better with a little internal division as well

for those that really like 'a place for everything, and everything in its place' in the back of the car etc. I'd suggest a look at some of the police kit bags 8)

They're basically just coolbags with zips on the outside though, right?

Zipped together coolbags? Don't be silly, this is the ultimate modular and durable sports organiser that gives you back something that no other bag can give you… time 🙂

I took one look and thought 'waste of money' but now I kind of like the idea of more ****y.
