Review on Mountainsmith Lumbar Recycled Dart Backpack Asphalt by Tiffany Villavicencio

I've been using it for trail running for a few months now and overall I'm very satisfied. The supplied bottle is useless; I immediately replaced it with a larger 22oz vacuum flask I bought at a local bike shop and it fitted great. The pocket isn't very large and I can't fit my admittedly large phone in it when I'm running, but it easily fits a folded route map and my car keys. Before ordering I was a little concerned that this would be too "belt bag" in its aesthetic and yes it is. But the bottom line is that it's so comfortable to wear and walk in that I didn't care after the first use. With a larger bottle (again not included) I can easily use it for runs 2+ hours and it's a lot better than carrying the bottle in my hand and losing pace. I don't run long enough to need a larger backpack hydration system so this was a great compromise between convenience and comfort.
