Transition Bsg
Plenty of room snd well made.
Welcome to the modern era of an industry product category we created back in 1994. We use the highest tech pack material ever used in a triathlon bag. We offer many features and compartments that are beneficial to the most organized person; but we also understand that sometimes you just want to pack it all up quickly and get home. This is why we offer the large main interior compartment that overtakes the entire space of all other compartments. Throw it all in, zip it up and go home!

Favorite Features Remain:

NOTE: We recommend not exposing any pack or product made of TPU to extreme temperatures above 120ºF (49ºC) or below 32ºF (0ºC), due to the possibility of the urethane melting, or freezing and becoming brittle respectively.

Products, staff and service are always FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
Used a large gym bag for years, this bag was so much more convenient. At first after packing, thought I was missing stuff because there was plenty of room left for more stuff! Very, very well built, easy to load and carry, easy to unload.
Easily one of the best investments I've ever made. I've used this bag for multiple triathlons, runs and pretty much everything else. It's high quality build makes it a perfect travel bag for pretty much anything. Maybe the biggest problem is they last forever. I've had mine for 10 years and could easily get another 10 out of it. Sucks for DeSoto and great for the consumer :) You can't go wrong with this bad.
I love this transition pack! Awesome for triathlon events, excellent carry on for air travel, perfect for weekend getaways and looks cool wherever you go. I love De Soto gear and love their customer service just as much. I highly recommend supporting this business and buying their products.
i bought the original transtion pack way back when and have worn it out. this latest iteration is robust, tough and well thought out. it rivals my nyc messenger back for toughness and usefulness. best bang for the buck/
I love the bag — it will be perfect for race day! And also makes a great bag for weekend trips - makes it especially easy to bring bike shoes and helmet along just in case you want to get a ride in. Lots of space, smart compartments, and seems well made.
Love this pack. It has plenty of space, the dry bag separation is key, and the external pocket fits my aero helmet perfectly. The only thing I’d like to see is a couple more small zipper pockets for ear buds, etc…but I carry a lot of stuff!
In addition to caring everything that I need for a race, I was quite surprised and please at the number of compliments I receive from women inside the airport and flight attendants, while easily stored it in my overhead compartment. Another much appreciated innovation. VR, Steve
After having been through several bags, very impressed with the design and material quality of this one. Little things like high quality zippers and fabrics make a huge difference. This one is top notch in both. The design strikes the right combination between having enough pockets, pouches, for good organization without being "too cute." One problem I've had with bags is them being too "floppy" for my staste, but the stiffer fabric on this one gives a nice free-standing structure to the bag, which makes it easier to find things, etc. Highly recommended overall.
Desoto always always has the best quality I have other bike wear items and the quality is the best. That’s why I this bag was top of my list and it does not fall short of my expectations. I would’ve liked a zipper to open the entire front so I could lay the bag down in my transition area and access everything more completely and easily
This is a great thought out product for triathletes and honestly for anybody out there enjoying biking, running, hiking and/or need to carry a wetsuit and a variety of stuff for the outdoor activity. You can even fit an aero helmet (or any bike helmet), tire pump, wetsuit (special compartment!), towel, hiking or running shoes, should I keep going? Customer service was phenomenal too, they were able to get me the color I was looking for.
This bag provides everything you need. I’m a creature of habit and have been using the same bag for about 5 years. It took some effort on my part to swap over however I’m very glad I did. Maybe the best part about this bag is the pump strap that holds your pump. Those things are so clunky to carry and this bag takes care of it!
This pack is so easy to use, with a large and perfectly sized main compartment that expands when not using the separate and large wet suit section. When fully loaded for my triathlons, every piece of equipment fits with ease, including the roomy and expandable helmet pouch, and even loops for carrying a pump into transition. I’ve been using it now at the pool and if fits all swimming gear, towels, extra clothes..everything! All kept dry by the pack’s water proof materials. I would definitively recommend this pack, and all De Soto products. And their customer service is totally responsive and helpful!
It gets more rugged with each iteration. One thing that hasn't changed is, it never seems to stand upright. Well, maybe with careful packing it will, but it likes to roll over, like a dog who wants its belly scratched. There is also a legacy strap on there to attach to a bike rack to hang it. Who does that these days? Rack space seems to get more precious each year. However, I do use it at one particular beach and attach my pack to a fence, off the sand. It then, won't roll over. Despite these things, I'm glad I have it. The price was very comfortable.
Transition bag is well thought out and bombproof. Packs everything and then some. Not quite as many small internal pockets as some other bags but still able to organize everything just fine. This thing can be dragged on pavement and still not fall apart. - Emilio, lose the picture of this bag with that old bike pump and stick one of those $300 lightweight ones on it : ) A good day is when Emilio chimes in on Slowtwitch and offers a an overnight sale code for the devoted fans..hint..hint
Second Transition Pack for me. After selling away the first and tried a few transition packs from other brands, I decided to go back to a Desoto Transition Pack as it is the best out there for my needs. The size of the pack, the number of pockets and the thoughtful design are just perfect. In addition, the material used makes the Pack hardy and it looks like it could last a long time.
I’ve tried so many different bags and settled on this bag a little over a year ago. It’s been awesome. With a flat bottle, it will sit upright to be able to find stuff. The pockets are tailored for a triathlete and super practical. The fabric is very robust and after many days of use, looks still like new. Love the water resistance as well. Recently, I contacted DeSoto recently for support and can say that their customer service is as fantastic as their products.
