I am a fan of Rocket Science Sports backpacks. My Elite Bag is just about to give up and I am wondering if the extra $$$ for the new Rocket Bag is worth it. Opinions from users appreciated.
I got my dad one for Christmas and he loves it. It’s very well configured, with just the right number of pockets and compartments. I like it a lot - I would trade my TYR bag for it in a second if given the opportunity.
I have one and absolutely love it. Plenty of storage for everything in the triathletes’ arsenal. Only thing I could do without is the inner mesh bag, and the helmet holder isn’t aero helmet friendly.
Let’s hope so, mine will be here tomorrow!

Hello,
One of the reasons we had to increase the price of the bag is due to the cost of the materials we are using in the construction of the bags. The new Rocket bag is made using PVC free materials.
PVC is one of the most environmentally damaging of all plastics. All stages of the PVC lifecycle, its production, use, and disposal, result in the release of toxic, chlorine-based chemicals that build up in the water we drink, the air we breathe, as well as contaminating the human food chain. Thousands of tons per month of PVC has been used for decades in the past as the common backing material for fabrics used in bags and luggage.
The use of of these new materials eliminates the production of these toxic bi-products therefore providing significant & positive benefits for the environment.We have managed to combine our vision of developing innovative solutions and products which contribute to the global movement of pollution elimination.
Cheers

Half of these people drive an SUV size of a small apartment, I bet they care about the environment. Advice: Make the detailed pictures clickable so they can be viewed larger! Anyway, I am still going to buy the big-ass Zoot bag that looks like a semi. It is the biggest and baddest bag in transition this season!
