Running bags for your back

average_runner

Hi All;


Can any one recommend a good bag where i can fit my work clothes in and be able to put it on my back and run home. I dont want the bag to be moving around on me etc.

Thanks

Just make sure it has a waist strap to stop it moving.

Camelbak are a brand Ive heard of, but dont own, I got a cheap and cheerful one in Tesco for €15, it had a water bladder, but thats long gone. Its small, narrow and light, as long as you dont need to fit much in it it might do the job.

Deuter do a good range.
My other half uses this one for running to work, and I use the same one for cycling. It's very comfortable and has a kind of separator between your back & the bag to stop your back getting as sweaty.
Got it in an outdoors shop for about €50.

He has had his nearly two years, I've had mine about 18 months and they're both still goin strong!

The OMM Classic (25 or 32L) and the Innov8 Race Elites are both great bags and not too expensive. I have both an OMM Classic 32L and an Innov8 Race Pro 12L (similar to an Elite but comes with a water bladder) myself. Given the choice, I'd probably go for the OMM myself having experience of running with it on my back over two days on previous occasions.

Seems to be one of the best. You can pack in a good amount of kit into it and it compresses down pretty well if you dont have as much kit to carry.

I'd also go for the Innov 8 race elite. It's a great bag.

On of the draw backs of buying these types of bags online is that it can be hard to get an idea of size and how much you'll be able to fit in them. If you're near Dublin I'd recommend dropping into Base Camp on Abbey Street, they have a lot of trail running and adventure sports stuff, including a good selection of those inov8 bags. Their customer service is quite good too.

Good selection of bags and other gear.

I got an OMM bag there. It looks great, I'll try it out this weekend.
