Review on πŸƒ Optimized for SEO: Osprey Duro 1.5 Running Hydration Vest by Mario Beckwith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good backpack for running, so far I use it weekly.

Great backpack to start with, definitely buy and try but read more below. The seams are seamless and the zippers are holding up well so far with the number of runs I've had with it $40. Price range and pricier Solomon packs ($140+) that don't always have zips to enclose things if you'd rather use them as storage for other things on the go. (The second picture shows the original that was left behind, although I opened and closed it with great discomfort as I don't want to take my backpack off the road to get what I need, the first picture shows a different brand pulley for the zip pocket broke and I replaced it because I take my phone out from time to time). Maybe I'm being stingy with my star rating and honestly I'd give five stars generously if it wasn't for the pulley. My biggest annoyance with Adventure Packs is that the zippers kinda break, it's an incredible pain in the ass when you need something secure to hold things that sometimes you need to take things out of and put back in without a fuss. I'm happy to say the zippers are ok, but trying to unzip the zipper without a pulley is awful. So have extras with you just in case. The material, color and stitching are amazing and I really love Osprey backpacks. They cost a little more than other lightweight backpacks, but you can almost always rest assured that your stuff will stay inside at the end of your hike or run. I will buy a bigger backpack from them for running. I am happy with this backpack. beautiful. Don't buy cheap backpacks, if you like adventure, buy this one.

Pros
  • Double oversized stretch mesh soft water bottle/grocery belt pocket
Cons
  • Heavy duty
