Product Information

If you’re going to be running in all weather conditions, it would make sense to choose a completely waterproof design.

The material of the bag has anti-odour properties, so even when carrying sweaty gear in it regularly it won’t start to smell itself, and a water-repellent coating on the outside keeps showers at bay. Stolt also sell accessories to the bag including a garment box that you can use to keep your office gear crease-free while running in. If you’re just looking for something to carry a few extra running gels and extra fluids, then a running vest is likely a better option – we’ve included one on our list. 2. Budget A running belt is a must-have accessory for fitness enthusiasts who need something to hold their bits and pieces. But belts are best suited to the sport of running, because most brands have designed them specifically to benefit the action of forward motion, while also minimising the risk of bounce and chafing which often comes with high-impact exercise. This will make it last-longer, it’ll be more comfortable, and you’re sure to get your money’s worth. 3. Choice of material Access: there's nothing worse than struggling to unzip your belt to reach a gel at mile 20. Look for a belt that is easy to access on the move. Added extras like gels loops on the waistband are always handy.Capacity: 25L; Weight: 1.2kg; Dimensions: 15 (D) x 28 (W) x 46 (H) cm; Hydration bladder compatible?: No; Additional straps: Sternum, waist Fabric: if you're a particularly sweaty runner or you're exercising in a hot climate, it pays to consider the fabric.

Sternum, chest, and waist straps are essential for comfort and stability, and especially so if you plan to run with heavier loads. The same goes for breathable fabric if you’re planning to embark on an intense run or tend to sweat a lot. How much should I spend? Often, external straps are implemented into the design of the bag to increase comfort, compressing the contents of the bag and providing a secure fit. And if you don’t intend on running in the rain, then find one with comfortable shoulder straps (and other straps) for a better fit and more comfort. 4. Purpose
