Introducing the TRAIL 15 – The perfect backpack for your trail running and hikes in the mountains or city, and also great for cycling

Sew your own commercial quality backpack with beginner friendly instructions. “I can’t believe that is homemade”.

Comfort and carrying capacity are the most important things in a backpack, so our first released running backpack has a generous 15 L capacity, with vest style straps to hug your body. As you are making your own gear, you can ensure the fit is perfect to yourself! Numerous pockets, faff free zip closure, 4 point compression to cinch the bag to reduce bounce, and a great aesthetic make this your first choice for a running backpack.
