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!

Huge shout out to Brian Harding, who went 12:10 at Ironman Wisconsin 2016.

You can see his RaceSaver™ Bag clutched tightly in his right hand!

Also overheard after the big race…

Get a race saver bag. That thing is gold. I only used mine for the first 5 miles but having ice to put down my shirt or just hold onto was like a little treasure at each aid station.

RaceSaver at Ironman® Lake Placid 2016

Here is RaceSaver™ athlete Scott Dinhofer at the 2016 Ironman® Lake Placid…crossing the line in a personal best 10th place. In his own words…

Used the race saver bag for Ironman Lake Placid on Sunday. Post race I’ve read a lot of forum chatter on how hot it was. I simply filled the bag up at every other aid station on the run & placed it under my hat. This kept me cool and aided in reaching a PR & top 10 AG finish for the first time for me on a day where many others imploded from the Heat.

 

Here you can see Scott using the RaceSaver™ in a more traditional fashion. 

RaceSaver in the Hand

 

With the black leash around his hand, Scott can keep his hands — and his system — cooler than his competitors.

A quick pitstop at any aid station will allow him to fill it right back up with more ice.

When on the run, he can put the ice where he wants…or even open the RaceSaver™ to put some in his mouth or pool the cool water on his head.

Speaking of which, in the photo ^above^ you can see how on Lap Two, Scott has moved the race saver up under his hat.

Once it’s full of ice, you can put the RaceSaver™ wherever you need cooling most.

Some might want to look fast…Scott prefers just to BE FASTER. 

But under the hat isn’t the only place that your RaceSaver™ can help. 


 Placid_2016_RobSabo_Chest

 

Here RaceSaver™ athlete Rob Sabo has chosen inside the front of his trisuit as the most important spot — right over his heart. You can see the tell-tale leash hanging out the front of his kit.

What you might not know is that Rob was on his way to 5th place in his Age Group!

The leash system allows you to place the RaceSaver™ where you need it most, and easily retrieve it at the next stop.

Having Ice When the Competition Doesn’t is a Secret Weapon

Don’t be left behind at your next race, juggling too many cups at the aid station and wasting valuable ice by throwing it down your shorts or missing your hat.
