24 Liter pack - keeps the days gear in front where you need it. Review by Matt Nelson
How do you Rate this Product I really like the functionality of this pack - 20L in back and 4 L +water in the front. The balance of front and back weight really helps me and keeps the stress evenly distributed on the shoulders. With the water bottles in front, you always have an eye on your hydration & you can refuel very quickly and mix drinks on the go. The 6 point restraint for the front pack gives a stable platform, but you will definitely need to do some full pack training with this to find your comfort zone. Too tight and you can constrict your breathing, too loose and it will bounce too much. Also, play around with the height so that the pack sits more on your mid-chest instead of your abdomen. Overall, a sturdy pack with great features. (Posted on 13/06/2010)

Good concept Review by Maya
How do you Rate this Product I used this pack for the Atacama. I agree with Jane that it definitely fits a man better. There's no way I could run with this pack. I'm small so the front pouch sat too low on me and bounced around a lot even with the waist strap pulled as tight as possible. I basically had all the straps pulled as tight as they could go and it was still too big. But I loved the convenience of having the pouch in the front (blister kit, TP, powder etc.). I ended up replacing the straps on top of the bag with longer ones so I could attach my sleeping bag there and free up a lot of room in the main pack. Worked great. (Posted on 01/04/2010)

Worked well for my first race. Review by Mike Stemple
How do you Rate this Product Wore this pack for The Atacama Crossing. Great pack if you are going to walk more than run and want to take a ton of pictures. The front pack holds EVERYTHING you need all day. It was very convenient to have my camera, food, footcare, and water bottles up front. The front pack also is perfect for attaching your bib number to as well for holding your race passport for recording your daily times (mandatory). For the Sahara Race I changed packs to one without a front pack and really missed it. Make sure you buy one of these early and train with it on. It is made with a light ripstop nylon and you will develop wear spots. I put some shoe Goo on these and never had any problems. The weight balance w/ the front pack will be a welcome benefit. For my next race I will return to this pack as will my wife. (Posted on 16/11/2009)

Good for some Review by Si Rob
How do you Rate this Product Very popular for the RTP - a bit bigger than many but unless your running really light this is a great pack. The best front bag in my opinion - you can put food, medical, hydration in it and access very easily. Its a bit hard to run in with larger water bottles (800mls) in use so you need to have them a little empty or use 600mls. Plenty of room to adjust it so you can get it to sit where you want - too many packs don't have this option. (Posted on 02/09/2009)

All around good pack Review by Jane
How do you Rate this Product A great pack, used by many in mutli-day races. My husband wore this and so did I in an event in Morocco. It for sure fits a man better than woman. It still worked for me, but was a little big. (Posted on 29/08/2009)
