Fantastic, practical and lightweight bag
I just love this bag. It is so comfortable you don't even know you are wearing it. I bought it to train for my first marathon and to use at a half-marathon trail race where you had to carry all nutrition and equipment with you. It is perfect - you can fit plenty of water (in a very clever bladder with a detachable tube) as well as lots of food in all the different compartments. There's a little segment which is great for a phone/money in the outside pocket and stops these rattling around. The elastic is also great for stashing a lightweight waterproof jacket that you can grab without having to take the bag off. The two pockets on the front are great for a little gel or water bottle or sunglasses, one has a zip and one doesn't. The colours are lovely too. If Catra Corbett loves this bag it must be good! I really didn't experience any slowing pace issues due to carrying what must have amounted to about 3 kg on my back for my marathon training. This is one of my favourite running purchases!

Exactly what I needed
I can't run holding a bottle and was looking for something for longer runs. This is very comfortable, the seams are taped with soft fabric and do not rub at all. The mesh panels make it very cool to wear and all of the straps are super adjustable, including as you are running. The pack is the right size for my needs and I like the accessibility of the 2 front pockets so you can get gels/music/tissue/lip balm/gloves all sorted without stopping. It doesn't feel bulky or heavy with the bladder full. There is also still space in the back for jacket etc. The straw is easy to use on the go and easy enough to clean, although I keep it and the bladder in the freezer to prevent bugs between uses. I think I'll use it for cycling too.

Just what I needed!
I have tried all sorts of ways of carrying liquid on long runs and not been totally happy with them. This was exactly what I wanted. A pouch at the front to fit my phone in and a pocket for my shot blocks. It is so good, I have ordered a male one for my partner!

Great for marathon training!
Bought this for my longer runs as part of my marathon training. Really comfortable to wear, even with 2 litres of water and pockets stashed with gels, snacks and mobile phone. The storage on the back is useful for gloves, hats, car keys etc. Really pleased I bought this!
