Is this a good backpack for running? I need to carry change of clothes, shoes, and water bottle (x2)

I think the pack will be a little on the large size for running depending on how much clothes you want to bring. I suggest maybe a 10-20L pack for that. Don't get me wrong though, the talon has great compression so under packing it works great as well.

Yes, it´s the right pack for you. With great capacity and confort when carrying lot of stuff in it, it has a hard cover in the contact area with your back that prevents any inconvenient when loading with things with different shapes that not necessary adapts the backpack.

This pack has hip straps and another strap going across the chest. Id imagine if its some light jogging nothing too crazy you could run with it. if its just clothes, shoes, and a water bottles that's not too much weight. I think it could be done.

For me it would be a bigger than that, but not necessarily by much if you include shoes. There are sides for water bottles but I actually use the matching Osprey bladder and fill that with ice and it has been great on vacations, long walks, hikes, etc...

I think so. You can get what you need in it and has good straps to hold things tight.

medium works with some extra space enough for a piece of fruit or chips. a bottle of water fits in outer side pocket. If you plan to carry much more you may want to step up to large. I haven't had the need.

I've been using a 600ml camelback bottle in one of the pockets to supplement what's in the pack. In the city, I'll fill that up at water fountains, and in races, will fill that up at the water stops.

I think you'll be fine with this pack. It wasn't very big. As for space available, I used it to hike Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. I filled the bladder and still had room for a spare bottle, extra gloves, and snacks for the day.

It depends on your complexion but if you will be mostly running I suggest the wide or at least the running pads available at http://www.weightvest.com/running-pad-1520 . Now, this product is amazing but requires commitment. I suggest you try running with a rucksack first and see how that goes.

I thought the compartment for everything-that-is-not-your-computer was tiny, but then I discovered that if you unbuckle the two straps on the sides of the backpack, then the the aforementioned compartment can easily fit three large textbooks, my binder, my gym shoes, my laptop chord, a change of clothes, and my water bottle/thermos. In conclusion, anything compressible, like clothes, will easily fit in this bag; even three days worth of clothes will be fine (unless it's an overstuffed downy winter coat-then it would just be the coat).

Short answer: probably. I carried assorted gear in there and never wanted for space. It can feel a little cramped when the reservoir is full, and it's definitely better suited to flat items, but a thin pair of shoes should be fine.

I guess it depends on how much equipment you're lugging around. It's a smaller gym bag than most use but it's deep and actually holds quit a bit. I used it travel for 5 days and it held all those clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. I think you'de be safe but I guess you're the only one who can make that determination. :)

I use it for work and put a hooded sweatshirt with a binder into it. It's a little tight but I believe it will fit. It expands quite a bit. The top pouch I don't believe will hold a water bottle but the lower one will.

Yes. I carried my work shoes(size 13), a pair of shower sliders, a 15" laptop, and my ipad in the outer pockets. They are also very good against the elements, however I always had oversized bags to.carry the electronics.

Yes you can! I don't leave the house without some extra clothes!This backpack is pretty Awsome!!Not sure what else you have going on there? But there's room for a change of clothes for sure.Time to test your packing skills!

Depends on how light you can go. I use it for daily commuting, it carries a change of clothes, lunch and a book or two with miscellaneous items like keys, wallet, tools, etc. If all you needed was a couple changes of clothes and miscellaneous gear it would work. It works well for what I need, easily secures to the rack and has some additional space on top with elastic net and strap.

GI boots with a full uniform? No. Hiking shoes (not boots)? Probably, but it would be a tight fit. If this is your b.o.b. you might want something more sustainable packed in there than boots, which this pack wasn't especially designed to carry. You will be able to fit two sets of combat clothing comfortably in here, though, along with several days (3 max) of minimalist rations (MREs) and some minor gear like radios. If you have paracord, it can be lashed underneath the pack and shouldn't be in the main compartment anyway.

Sorry honestly i cant answer that cause im a big dude and the pack waist belt was to small and i did not buy it for running im a coach and its excellent for being out on the field and track with my kids for all day events in the heat

I think it would be fine for running, too. It is nice looking. I have the turquoise one and will probably use it for a jacket in Europe. The green or orange look more like bike jackets. It's best feature is the removable sleeves.

I have the 6L, and it fits into the slot on my backpack quite nicely, and is functional with the hydration attachment. It is pretty large though! That said! If you are into ultralight backpacking, this is a totally bomb-proof, but heavier material water bag. I guess we're only talking about a couple of ounces here though. The 10L might be too huge for backpacking. If you have a backpack setup to take a slip in bag, I'm sure it would be fine. If you wanted to tie it to the outside of a pack, it has the webbing necessary to do so, but it takes on a pretty peculiar ovoid shape when it's full. I generally only keep it at half capacity to let the water spread out more anyway.

Hi Ryan, you can definitely fit a LOT in this bag. I would go for it -- it's great for hiking and moving around because you can wear it as a backpack, and depending on where you're going, it may be better that it doesn't have wheels in case the roads aren't paved.
