    Nice quality pack with plenty of pockets to store all my goodies... I have the 15 liter pack, which I often use on my day hikes and jungle trail runs. It fits well for the most part and doesnt shift around much once properly adjusted to my body. But, i also found that the neck collar area of the pack and the hard black plastic waterpack sealer painfully rubs on my upper neck area. It can get very uncomfortable very quickly when hard plastic rubs on you the wrong way. Definitely would like to see the waterpack sealer get upgraded to something softer.

    Hey, I ordered the XS/S and the M/L and the smaller one is a bit tight and the other one is a bit loose on the smallest setting. I'm 160cm/65kg. Which one to choose? (Very) tight fit or some extra space? Maybe other women can help me as well? That would be very helpful, Thank you so much! :)

    • @jamesheslop
      @jamesheslop 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmm it's personal preference for you really , have you tried them with the pack full ? As that tends to make them fit a lot tighter.

    Great review! I really want to get into longer-distance trail running and the amount of kit available is just so overwhelming (and expensive!), so this is really helpful. Is the pack waterproof? Or would you need to use a drybag inside the pack to keep things dry?

    Hi please answer this!! I am looking specifically for a super small/ light weight breathable running backpack that wont bounce...but only for a pair of thick jeans and a tshirt. I keep trying to research it but no one is suggesting what I need. I dont need a hydration pack, but I need something small. It's just to run from my place of work to home. Everything ppl suggests is either too big, too bouncy, too pinchy, not breathable, or is just a hydration pack. Thank you of you answer, it would help a lot!

    • @jamesheslop
      @jamesheslop 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there ! Decathlon do make a smaller , lighter version of this pack with a 5 litre capacity , other than that you would probably be looking at a waist pack that sits on your hips. I've found that these tend to bounce around a lot more though !

    After about two years of usage I can say that this a really good quality running backpack. There are only few minor drawbacks that I can point out. The plastic hook location isn't convinient enough, at least for me. I'd prefer to have it somewhere lower and I reattached it to the second strap. Straps tend to rub against a t-sthirt so that it can be spoiled in one race. I wrapped them with a sticky-tape. And the last one. It's not trivial to attach lightweight running poles to the backpack since loops are too huge for them. I attach my poles on the backside putting one end into the bottom pocket and fixing the other end by the upper loop. Overall, it's a nice backpack and a great value for money. Thanks for the review James.

    I am 77kg and 178cm, and got recommend the XL on the website, but it's only because of one number, if I lower it by 1 cm I get recommended the M/L, do you think I should still get the XL?or M/L?

      @@ricardoocruz actually I think you are right! I must have bought a "mistake". I just went to decathlon yesterday and tried on several 10L and 15L and all of the m/l size were much too small and the XL was the right size with still room to adjust the straps to make it tighter. So I must have just got a bit unlucky with a larger XL the first time that I now can't tighten anymore!

    • @jamesheslop
      @jamesheslop 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Similar features but the newer version has more easily accessible storage I'd say , especially up front. The use of a stretchy material also makes it more stable and less bouncy I've found.
