RUNNING TRAIL BAG SMALL

Couldn't believe the price of this bag, would be a bargain without the bladder included. Wore it on a couple of training runs prior to the North Devon Marathon and i was really quite pleased. Positives - bargain price! The front pockets were what i was really after, enough for my phone, small hand sanitiser, tube of glucose chews, small bag of jelly beans and chew bar. Zipped pocket inside rear pocket for car key, larger rear pocket for a jacket, foil blanket, long sleeve top and still room to spare. Double clips across chest mean it sits real snug but expands comfortably with breathing. The little strap tidies are fantastic, keeping them real tidy. I spent over 5 1/2 hours running a tough coastal marathon and got no shoulder rub or discomfort. The only negative would be that it does sit a little further down your back than I'd like when using a 2 litre bladder.

Bought this as a first trail pack for a half marathon and to see if I could run with a pack. Took two or three races to work out the best way to route the hydration hose but since then it has been great. Just enough room for keys, MP3 player, snacks and a lightweight running jacket. Machine washable too if you don't mind the logo peeling off. Only negatives are the poor water flow from the bladder and the annoying squeak when running (reading other reviews it may be the hook on the bladder). Moving up to trail marathons so now looking for a larger pack. Great value and ideal if you want to try a running backpack but don't want to spend a lot of money.

Snug fit. Easy fill and clean. Great size pockets. Simple bite and drink tube
