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.

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).

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. :)

It will hold a pair of my size 13 shoes and a pair of jeans. I use it for tools and rain gear and it works great. It is a very nice bag for the price.

Depends on how you pack. For me it does the job perfectly. It holds my clothes, documents (waterproof case inside), emergency gear, snack pack and toiletries.

Yes this backpack should hold all those things well. Not much more than that though. Not sure if it is waterproof.

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.

You could use that one I suppose but I use just the Topeak Explorer Bike Rack and am able to carry a daily change of clothes some small items. The other stuff I keep in a backpack.

This is not a huge backpack, I bought it for when I want to go light. I also have a Lowe pack that you might be more interested in for you size. Take a look at this one. Lowepro 350 AW DSLR Video Fastpack (Black)

High Sierra responded back and they said that the mesh water bottle holder doesn't seem large enough for that size of bottle. I'm sorry, but I hope this helps you find the correct backpack. Besides the water bottle holder, everything else is amazing! I suggest what Erin said below!! I hope this helped

Love this versatile pack. Two stretch mesh side pockets that hold up to a 1 liter bottle or a mens large shoe (from experience). Kimberley is also right,there is a dedicated space for a camelbak water bladder in the back of the pack.

It's going to move and bounce around if your on the run. It's not a great bag if fully loaded with allot of gear on a full time basis. You would need two straps and a waist belt. I never use this bags waist belt. It doesn't seam to help that much. With a load it seams to ride a little lower and you will need to readjust every so often compared to a two strap-er. But I love the pack for around home, going to and from my deer stands and short walks. When fully loaded heavy you will wish for two straps. Going around with lets say 10lbs or so its great as long as your not running and gunning. Hope this helps. It's going to move and bounce around if your on the run.

Yes, it's plenty big enough to hold your gear. However, it's just a regular backpack. It doesn't have any kind of padding on the inside, so you'll want to protect your electronics to keep them from getting banged up.

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.

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.

I have about 10 pairs of shoes in it. Very solid but it might not be deep enough for backpacks. It is quite a small piece.

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.
