TDF Backpacks?

I'd like to know more about the backpacks that cycling team support personnel have at the end of stages in TDF. They're quite large, and it seems like they'd hold a lot of stuff. When I google TDF backpack, all that comes up with is small book bag types. Anyone savy about these? What they hold, who makes them for the teams?

Looks cool and pretty hardcore. Pricey even with the sale price.
Could you just find something similar at REI like this?

Are you asking about the literal backpack/piece of luggage, or its contents? Sometimes called "finish bags".

Quick-Step and Ineos use/used this one...

Usually stuffed with bottles/drinks, towels, snacks, whistles, caps, jackets, etc.

If you just want a simple, giant, rugged backpack, the Patgucci Black Hole duffels are great...

I have a pair of the 55L model and they're large enough for a full week of clothes, including cycling kit, street clothes, and other random stuff. I bought 70L bags at the same time, but they were WAY larger than I'd ever need, so they were returned.

Still has outside compartments, but fewer.

I think you are best served with a transition backpack for triathlon.
