Are you looking for a backpack that will be used not only for competitions but also for training and carrying your kit? Brands like TYR, Arena and even Speedo all have a great backpack for these purposes, but which is the best, biggest or has the most pockets? We took 5 backpacks from brands like Arena, TYR, Speedo, Mad Wave and Finis and gave them to our team to compare and test. And, of course, we came up with a clear winner. Read on to find out which one it was!
Speedo Teamster 2.0 Rucksack 35 litrů
Tyr Alliance Team Backpack 45L
When comparing these backpacks, I tried to fit all my training gear into each one. I was able to comfortably fit my fins, snorkel, kickboard, pull buoy, paddles and other swimming essentials into all of them.
My most comfortable backpacks were the Arena Team Backpack 45 and the Tyr Alliance Team Backpack 45L. Both rucksacks have a large enough main compartment and plenty of smaller pockets. The Tyr has a more practical shoe pocket than the Arena. The volume of these backpacks means you can take them away from the pool for a long weekend as well.
If I were to pit the Speedo Teamster 2.0 Rucksack 35L against the Finis Team Backpack 2.0, I would recommend each backpack to a different consumer. I would recommend the Finis backpack to swimmers who will be carrying the backpack to work. It has a smooth feel to it, so you don't have to worry about taking it to work. The Speedo backpack, on the other hand, has a more sporty look and is smaller in size but not in volume. I would recommend this rucksack for children. The rucksack sits well on the child's back and does not look too big for their height. At the same time, both boys and girls can choose the colour, there are lots of colours and designs.
The Mad Wave backpack is a volumetric happy medium. It has plenty of pockets. And it comes in a lot of colour combinations. I wouldn't recommend it for children, though, as it's quite heavy.
Taking all the backpacks and comparing them in terms of value for money, I would definitely choose the Arena Team Backpack 45. Of all the backpacks compared, it is the cheapest and also very practical! It also has a surprise in the form of a small bag that can be used separately. Whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed, so come into one of our stores and try them on. The most important thing is how you feel, how the rucksack fits and how you like it.
