Review on Streamlined Running Backpack By FITLY For The Minimalist Athlete by Michael Eldridge

I'm a 5'8" male athletic build and use this product for trail running. I purchased the size recommended for my build. I really like the shape, size and the way this pack fits. The bladder is the right volume for trail runs up to 13mi. The pockets in the chest straps are perfect for 5-6 dried apricots and a mini Kind bar. One of my frustrations is when I sweat, the salt collects at the zippers and turns to concrete. You have to wet the zipper again in order to get it to open. The salt doesn't always wash out of the zipper area either. Another frustration is that it chafes my back when running shirtless. June-August in TN get hot and humid. Unfortunately, after 1 year of usage, the retainer for the shoulder strap broke. I've got larger packs that I've had for 5+ years without issues. I've debated on buying it again, but the lack of durability makes me consider buying a more expensive version from a competitor.
