Long-distance runs across remote trails and in tough conditions require that the runner be totally prepared for the effort ahead. The Salomon S/LAB Sense Ultra 8 Set Hydration Backpack provides all of the hydration, nutrition and luggage storage requirements the endurance athlete needs in an ultimately sleek package.

The storage options offered by this backpack are numerous, especially considering its slender appearance. In addition to the pockets that are specifically designed to hold the two included soft flasks, there are multiple pouches on the back, sides and front all with differing capacities and fastening systems so that the runner can store food, hydration and extra clothing in a thoroughly organised fashion. These pockets are linked together to form a lightweight, comfortable run companion via a Sensifit construction that utilises stretchy and breathable fabrics that conform to the body, don’t restrict and prevent the build-up of undesirable odours from increased perspiration levels.

Fastened to the runner with a twin link strap system, pressure points and chafing are eliminated to provide a bounce-free fit for when hitting the trails hard. This pack is then completed with soft trims for further comfort, reflective details for safety and a whistle to alert others if perilous situations arise.
