New Backpack for running

TheMilkmansDad

Need a little bit of advise please.

I need a new backpack to run in to carry water, snacks, phone, waterproofs etc. I usually just use my normal walkers rucksack but think its time to invest in a proper running one as I'm hoping it would be more comfortable.

Just been doing 10km and half marathons till now but aiming on getting a marathon distance in sometime next year hence the upgrade!

Any advise/tips greatly appreciated. Looked at ones with water bags (not sure if that's the right terminology!) but they seemed expensive so think I'm more gearing towards one that can just hold a couple of water bottles?

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Race vest or hydration vest are the terms you need 

I have one from Decathlon which is great, I've had it a couple of years now. 

They have several different sizes. I have a 15l one as I like trail running long distances so need the kit. It's nice and snug and doesn't jiggle around. I hanker after one from Harrier running, which you might also like to look at. 

There are lots of others available, but as you have seen they are pricy.

For cheap have a look at something like the Kalenji from Decathlon.
For expensive I love my inov8 vest. Personally I love having a hydration bladder as for me I find that the bottles just end up taking up the best pockets of the vests. Its just personal preference though as I like to be able to reach, phone, snacks etc.
