[Closed] running and biking packs help

What a nice looking pack for £25 I will have to make sure Santa has seen that, and I have been very good this year. 🙂

I've been running with a Camelback Mule, it's got enough straps to make sure you get a good fit. That Decathlon one doesn't look bad, though - and a lot cheaper I'm sure!

does anyone knwo if you can carry a bottle on the outdie of the decathlon one as its hard to tell from pics.

I've got one of those though in last year's colours, used it for biking and running. The side pockets are quite small, useful for keys or mobile phone. The expandable pocket at the back is about right for a helmet when unzipped, zipped up you could put a small water bottle in there, think a large one might go in ok but fall out in use (mine generally contains a banana or other snack) - but why not use the included bladder for water?

can be trouble getting hold of them in decathlon. Sheff had a few in but sold out a few days before I went in to buy a similar one (smaller size). They can be special ordered in from France, but it takes 7 working days (I was told).

I ended up with an Inov8 one - the 12 litre one, with bladder. Gotta say the horizontal bladder (around your waist) is SUPERB for running with. Not tried it biking yet, but can imagine similar levels of stability.

whats the bladder like in the decathlon pack, the bottle is just as extra for longer daysout

karnali - to be honest the bite valve developed a leak quite quickly. Bought a new locking valve though and it's been fine since. Wouldn't surprise me if they've changed the design of the bite valve since then as I've noticed it's different on some of their other packs.

Also the bladder is positioned quite high, fine for biking but not so sure for running, not if it's full at least. Though I've not tried any other designs for comparison.
