The HYROX x BFA 35L Pro Backpack Is the Ultimate Race Day Essential — Here’s Why
Built for Athletes linking up with HYROX was arguably the most predictable move of 2024 — and yet, somehow, it still managed to feel huge.
The functional luggage specialists had already made their presence felt on race days, with rows of their signature backpacks lining the shelves of bag drops across Europe.
The growth of both brands had been explosive. So when they finally made it official in June last year, it felt less like a partnership and more like a merging of DNA.
It was a move everyone saw coming, but the buzz was very real.
Built for Athletes launched the collab with a heavy-hitting HYROX elite squad — Jake Dearden, Graham Halliday, Zara Piergianni — and an exclusive four-piece drop. Front and centre? The HYROX x BFA 35L Pro Backpack.
A race-day powerhouse built for performance, prep, and precision.
We’re diving into what makes the 35L Pro the ultimate HYROX companion — and why race day just doesn’t hit the same without it.

HYROX x BFA 35L Pro Backpack: Room for More
The HYROX x BFA 35L Pro Backpack is a meticulously engineered beast. Every signature Built for Athletes feature is here — refined, upgraded, and race-ready.
Twin side pockets hold up to 1L bottles each, perfect for staying hydrated or stashing recovery shakes. The outer shell is water-resistant and rip-proof, so mid-transit mishaps don’t stand a chance.
A HYROX-branded wet kit bag comes free with every pack — no more sweaty gear contaminating the clean stuff — while a ventilated, zippered shoe compartment keeps your trainers in isolation.
From travel to go time, every feature just clicks. A shock-absorbing laptop sleeve protects devices up to 17″, and the clamshell design opens flat to 180°, turning packing from a chore into a breeze.
It’s load-tested up to 20kg — basically, you’re strapping a suitcase to your back — but it’s balanced out with upgraded, sweat-wicking cushioning that takes the edge off the heavy stuff.
Honestly, the features list is endless — so much so that a highlights reel feels necessary.
Dialled In for the Details
Built for Athletes went all-in on the details. HYROX-branded zip pullers, tabs, and patches round out the look, delivering that slick, military-inspired aesthetic.
Because if you’re going to drag yourself through eight stations of functional pain, you might as well let people know about it, right?
The HYROX x BFA 35L Pro doesn’t just carry your gear — it carries your mindset.
HYROX x BFA 35L Pro Backpack: How Much Does It Cost?
At £159.99, the HYROX x BFA 35L Pro Backpack is definitely more of an investment piece. But let’s be clear — this isn’t your average gym bag.
It’s a precision-built, competition-tested pack that reflects everything this collaboration stands for: durability, functionality, and full-spectrum support for the serious athlete.
It’s built to push your through the Roxzone, the sled push, the wall balls — and the rain-soaked Uber queue after.
As the saying goes: buy cheap, pay twice.
