The OMP backpack, 20 litre capacity, 32 by 24 by 50cm. Part number OB0-2979.
Not a racewear bag
Worth being clear. This is a day bag, not a kit bag. It will not take a helmet or a suit, and if that is what you need, look at the trolley bags instead.
What it is for is everything else you carry to a meeting: a laptop or tablet, paperwork, a drinks bottle, a jacket, the things that otherwise end up loose in the car.
The useful details
A padded compartment for a notebook or tablet, which is what separates it from a generic rucksack, and a quick access upper pocket for the things you need without taking the bag off.
External side pocket for a bottle. Double closure zip that takes a padlock.
Who buys one
Team personnel, engineers and anyone who is at a circuit working rather than driving. Also perfectly good as an ordinary bag if you want the branding.
Twenty litres is a day bag rather than a weekend one.
Will a full race kit fit?
It swallows the soft kit comfortably: suit, underwear, gloves, and boots. Helmets are better in their own padded bag, which also stops the visor getting scratched in transit.
Is it worth a dedicated kit bag over a normal holdall?
The difference is compartments and padding in the right places: wet and dry separation, boot pockets that keep tarmac dust off your suit, and padded sections where they matter. A normal holdall works until the first time a buckle rubs a hole in fireproof fabric.
How do I look after it?
Brush it out and wipe it down rather than machine washing, and let it dry open after a wet weekend. Zips last longest if you close them before storage.
