Do you know how well this pack works when running? I am looking form a pack that will not jostle around too much.

My girlfriend wears it and has no issues running. She also has a rather thin frame. How this helps

There are two straps, one along the lower midsection and one on the upper chest that can be adjusted tight if you are looking to use it running. I run, hike and mountain bike and the pack works well but does "jostle" when running. My guess is most water hydration packs will since they do carry liquid.

Its compact, sure you could cinch it down. The bladder is a little tough to suck out water.

It's not the best around but with that price, good enough for me to use it for my training.

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 haven't used m mine for running, but I have for some intense house cleaning. The band doesn't slip and it's pretty good at moisture wicking, although it does need to be washed regularly. Which is totally easy. The headphones come out and go in super easily. The headphones do travel a little in the pockets, but I'm not sure if that would be a problem running or not. They stay put while I'm sleeping, they travel when the headband is slack. Not the highest quality sound, but u get plenty for the money u spend. I've seen other brands sell these for over $100 with the same sound quality just because u can sleep in then. How this helps, good luck! I love my tooks, hopefully u will to o

I have not... but its kind of bulky for running. I think there are better options out there.

I think it is a great pack for the price. it has multipule adjustment straps. I've only used it twice so far this year, I've used it on a 8.5 mile and a 7.2 mile so far so. good.

Personally I think it is too squishy for running in place. I've tried jump roping and jumping jacks with it and I feel like it makes me too unstable so I use a thinner mat for stuff like that. Hope that helps :)

You can secure it as tight as possible with the strap. I'm sure it may move a little but that may also depend on what's in it. I can secure a notebook and iPad in it and run a 400m without it moving at All. (maybe even longer)?

I use it while running and find it helps. The product is well made and does not slip or move while running.

I haven't had that problem at all. If anything, it is a bit inaccurate in the beginning of a run while my heart rate is just kicking in. After a few minutes at most, mine works well - as accurate as my Polar without the irritating strap.

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 don't want to discourage you, but I don't think this is a very good idea. I find that the vest doesn't fit that snugly (at least on me) - it bounces and would probably chafe. But I've only tried with a T-shirt underneath. Maybe with another layer or two it might work, but then there's the heat factor. I've been walking briskly on a treadmill (along with doing pushups and pullups) with it and that's works nicely, but I think that running with it might be overly-ambitious. But I could be wrong.

It all depends. For me, alot of my pain was from running with a heavy pack in the military. Do I have compression issues. That is the main thing you will benefit from. I used it regularly for 3 months and now I can just use it once a week. Seriously amazing

That is an overstatement. I do run with mine in a pocket that is in the back of my running shorts, and it works OK. It drops out if I bend over or the battery is low, but it otherwise holds a signal. The manual does advise wearing on the front/right side of the body, and my rear-pocket appears to be right at the limit of where the blue tooth will connect. I also noted that there appears to be some additional interference from my Garmin GPS watch, so I have fewer issues when I'm on a treadmill indoors. But it is an overstatement to say that it ONLY works when using an arm band.

I use it to commute to the gym and back. It depends on how many items you're trying to carry. If you're not carrying a bunch of items with you, they sell a smaller pack with a large bladder that may work better. I don't personally mind the size, but I have a friend who complains about it being too big. He ended up buying the smaller bag that Geigerrig makes.

No the battery pack does not bounce while running. I was actually concerned when I bought it if it would offer any discomfort and how long it would take to get used to it being on. I never even noticed it being on even on my first trip. Also the batteries last for about 110 miles for me. I have now ran with it for 185 miles with no concerns and very impressed with it.

Im not sure. As a outdoorsman myself this Hydration pack does not have a waist strap to hold the pack down. Running or sudden bending over the pack move all over. I have to cinch the shoulder strap real tight almost uncomfortably on my armpit so it wont move around

i just finished trying the set up you suggested (minus the vest) and found that when the packs are strapped to my sides at waist height the 3 inch bulge on either side was noticeable I add a sweat shirt and came to the conclusion that the only way the packs would remained concealed is if you like extremely baggy clothing. or wear a vest like they do in the military and police forces in which case the vest plus the packs would make you look very round (still need a not so baggy sweat shirt for this to work tho).

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.
