A decent run bag, shame about the wet bits 27 February 2026

I first noticed this bag in a shop window and liked the shape, so I bought it after reading a couple of good reviews and then I told a mate at work to have a look too. At first I was pretty pleased — it's comfy to run with and the detachable running belt is actually handy while you're out, even if there's no neat place to stash it afterwards. The chest strap keeps sliding up though, which is annoying on longer runs; I kept stopping to fiddle with it. The internal organiser box is over-big for my needs, eats up space, and means I can't fit my trainers above it unless I squash things. Those are small gripes, and overall I did enjoy using it for a few weeks. My real gripe came on a rainy commute. I opened the bag and stuff inside was damp. Not a light sprinkle — water seemed to seep through the stitching and even into the laptop/tablet pocket. That felt wrong for a bag sold to commuters and runners. I can forgive a wonky strap or awkward belt, but not that. If the manufacturers sorted the seams and made it properly water-resistant then this would be much closer to a five-star pick for me. As it stands, I'd recommend it for fit and comfort, just not if you need dry kit on wet days.
