The best HYROX backpack in Ireland (2026 guide)
Short answer: For HYROX in Ireland you need a backpack that holds running shoes, a change of clothes, bottles and wet kit after the race. The main options are Built for Athletes (the official HYROX Europe bag partner, around €200), PUMA x HYROX (around €160), and Cróga's Vikingo 45L, an Irish-owned option from €80–€85 with free shipping in Ireland.
What to look for in a HYROX backpack
- A wet/dry compartment so soaked kit stays away from your phone and fresh clothes.
- Room for two pairs of shoes if you train and race in different ones.
- Two bottle holders for water and a shaker.
- Weatherproofing, because Irish event days rarely stay dry.
- A patch panel if you like showing off your box, club or race badges.
