The Sparco Stage rucksack. Part number 016440.
Made from 600 denier water resistant polyester with double padded adjustable shoulder straps, and it is the bag for the things you carry rather than the things you pack. Gloves, balaclava, notes, phone, wallet, the drink you meant to have on the last stage.
A rucksack rather than a holdall matters more than it sounds in a paddock. Both hands free is the difference between carrying your kit and juggling it, particularly if you are also carrying a helmet.
Size and what goes in it
15 litres, measuring 52 x 40 x 20cm. There are two hidden front pockets with reflective detailing, and a padded laptop pocket.
15 litres is day bag size rather than luggage size. If you want the one that carries a laptop and a weekend’s kit, the Super Stage is 42 litres in the same 52 x 40 x 20cm footprint.
The liveries
Six to choose from: black, black and red, black and blue, blue Martini, black Martini and black Gulf Racing. The Martini and Gulf versions are the ones most people are here for, and they are proper liveries rather than a logo printed on a plain bag.
What it is not
It is not a suit bag or a full kit bag. A race suit wants hanging rather than folding into a rucksack, and a helmet wants a soft lined bag of its own if you care about the visor. Plenty of people run this alongside a duffle and a helmet bag, and that is the arrangement we would suggest.
Ask us about matching bags if you want the set in the same livery.
