trailrunning backpack

it's 13 liter capacity and really a biking pack. It's heavy and not terribly comfortable.

After a bit of searching, I'm thinking of going with an inov-8 race pro pack. The horizontal reservoir looks interesting and has received some good reviews. It's also lighter than what I've been using. My reservation at this point is that reviews are few and far between and it is a one-size fit all pack.

Check REI. All Camelbak products are 25% off right now.

I use either my REI Single Shot, or my GoLite Rush.

There have been at least 2 threads within the last 6 weeks regarding this topic.

I use my Golite 24 as it is tall and narrow, and has a very comfortable and functional hipbelt. Packs that have caught my eye online are the Terra Nova Laser 20L and the Camp Usa Trail Pro 20, however I have no experience with either.

I've read that the horizontal bladder on the Inov-8s is comfortable, but can be a hassle refilling and getting it back into place. I like the look of the Race Elite packs more.

I picked up a Marmot Whirlwind at Backcountry gear, price is 50% off right now and there are some available. This pack is a little less than 15L though but is hydration bladder compatible and has hipbelts w/ pockets and side pockets, also has a rainfly if you're hitting the trail in a downpour, but this does add to the weight of the pack. The Golite Rush is also a good pack in the size your looking for, check out the review for the Golite VO24 on this website in the search, similar pack just a larger volume. How long are your trail runs? Are you looking for a pack that fits the bill for long day hikes and trail runs? A pack around 10L would be sufficient for a lightweight shell, some gels, bars and water and is comfortable for light and fast trail runs.

I've never found an actual pack that I could stand actually running in. They all bounce too much.

The Nathan vest-packs are ideal. I've done Double Crossings in the GC with one.

One of my buddies is a big adventure racer, doing her races she noted one pack that seemed be popular among the adventure racers:

Osprey Talon 22

One pack I swear does it all well (in the small bag range) and has been nothing short of fantastic is Black Diamond's Bbee 12 liters. It carries amazingly well (carries up to 15lbs easily and surprisingly well) ,rides high on the back, has a low profile and sports a sternum and waist strap. Not only that it's relatively tough (made out of 210D sil nylon) + It has a nice clean look to it and never once had an issue with snags or bag ruinous tears (though it has a few spots of wear, but that's from too many off-widths) and after 3 years of abusing it from traveling, running, climbing (rough granite), work, etc, it is still going strong!

Apologize for the long windedness!

I've used both the GoLite VO24 and the Black Diamond Bbee and both have worked very well depending on what intensity of run I was doing and where. For most of my trail running I've been using the Bbee – it's simply, light, and well built. I've owned two and never had a problem.

Found it on eBay new for $25 shipped. Worth a shot. If I don't like it for running, perhaps it will make an acceptable summit/day pack.

I'll add my recommendation for the BBee.

Have also a look at the Salomon XT Wings 10+3 Vest.

You can add some accessories to increase volume.

I bought one and it is a great running vest. Has had really positive feedbacks.

so till now i think the osprey talon 22 is the clesest
fit to my torso even though it's not a 100% trailrun pack.
Also the golite vo24 look very intersting but i don't
like the position that the bottles carrier is.
Any recomandation ?

Gregory makes some absolutely wicked, comfortable, jiggle free packs. I run distance from fast 10km to long 50+km. The packs come in three capacities, 6L (diablo & dipsea),11L(wasatch & navarino) & 17L(miwok & maya) and both in men and women styles.

I use a Gregory Reactor for long distances. It carries 70 liters well, plus room for food and a jacket, etc.
I've been happy with the suspension/relative lack of bounce.
I don't think any bag is ever going to be bounce free…
