Backpacks, bottle belts and basic drawstring bags.

Running backpacks are different to ordinary or basic rucksacks. Materials used, features added and durability make them far more comfortable for running. This selection is chosen because they are perfect for commuting. It is essential in a good running backpack to have both a waist and a chest strap to keep the bag secure. It should also sit quite high (top of the backpack across the top of the shoulders) and then curl round above your hips.

Final tip: buy the smallest bag you can get away with. You will put too much stuff into a bigger bag. Think hard about what you really need to be carrying on your runs and don't have lots of stuff in there that at best is classified as 'just in case I need it'. Enjoy!

Bottle belts are the best way of carrying a small amount of water (e.g. approximately 500ml) and remember you can always refill the bottle. Remember to put them in the right position. The bottle on the single bottle belts should sit in the small of the back. The belt itself therefore sits above the hips.
