Trail runners are always wondering what to pack in their backpacks!
You have to depend on your condition and the weather.
For short distance training, runners want to be light on the road. Maybe they will just take a hand-held bottle and put on a light one and go out.
But for long-distance training, sometimes over a period of several days, the weather can be an important factor in what you carry.
How to quickly pick the right backpack for your trail running?
What should you consider when choosing a trail running backpack?
Xiaobian sorted out the experience of the great God to share with you.
1. Consider weight/load capacity You have to make a choice: do you choose a more durable backpack that provides support by reducing stress and load on your back, or a super lightweight backpack that loses support but you gain less weight?
Current technical support has enabled us to choose a lightweight and strong backpack, such as polyester or tear resistant nylon.
2, Consider comfort Adding padding in and shoulder straps will increase comfort and stability, but they also add weight to the entire backpack.
Depending on your body type and running posture, you should determine the appropriate belt adjustment, chest, and shoulder strap position.
Small chest pockets can be added to many rucksacks, making it more comfortable to distribute the weight on the front and back of the body.
3. Consider convenience side pockets and belt pockets so you can get the necessary food (bars, gels, snacks, electrolytes, etc.) without having to remove your backpack.
This is very important when you are in the race, and the water bottle holder attached to the shoulder strap allows you to get water easily and get through the monitoring station faster, saving valuable race time.
4. Consider the needs of the training process
