RaceSaver™ Bag

Perfect for race day…and for the holiday!

Hard to believe that our first calendar year as a company is over…but we don’t mind participating in the holidays (pictures don’t lie). It’s been a ton of fun interacting with athletes from across the globe. No matter where you live and compete, you have to deal with the heat. Your final finishing time is a direct reflection of how well  you manage that challenge…and the RaceSaver™ Bag is here to help. Use the code HOLIDAY20 to save 20% on your next order.

These bags are the perfect stocking stuffer for your athlete. Lightweight and versatile, these bags will help your athlete carry and use ice to stay cool despite the conditions.

Here’s a great video of one of our athletes, Dirk Johnson, making the most of his RaceSaver™ Bag at the Mile Two aid station in Ironman® Hawaii 2016.

 

While most athletes are dumping ice on their heads or putting it in their shirts, Dirk uses his RaceSaver™ Bag to take ice with him for the next critical mile.

For context, see how the majority of folks TRY (and fail) to use ice on race day.

There’s double the Ice in the Shirt Guy:

There’s Lick The Ice Guy:

 

And my personal favorite, Ice In the Hotel Towel Wrap Guy.

It doesn’t have to be this complicated. When you are hot, you need ice.

You need ice on your hands and on your head, if possible.

But you want ice you can access, eat, and even save the cold water to pour on your head. Enter the RaceSaver™ Bag.

Stop racing in the Stone Age and get a RaceSaver™ Bag today!

RaceSaver™ Bag Takes on the Ironman® World Championships

1024 683 Patrick

The RaceSaver™ Bag Team travelled to the Big Island in Hawaii for the Ironman® World Championships. Our goals was to test the RaceSaver™ Bag in the most unfriendly weather conditions possible.

The heat and humidity on the Big Island, combined with the reflective power of the lava, combine to create a crucible of conditions that can bring even the fittest and most prepared athletes to their knees.

We are pleased to report that the bag was a success…our athletes used the bags in training and on race day, as you’ll see below.

Even better, we got some great feedback from everyone including industry partners, on how we can improve it. Enjoy our photos below and remember you can get your own RaceSaver™ Bag anytime in our online store.
