Marmot Kompressor Backpack - 920cu in

Item #MAR1389 | 0 in Stock

I do a lot of trail running, and backpacking with my German Shepherd....

By Ranked #1032 - Daypacks May 24, 2009

I do a lot of trail running, and backpacking with my German Shepherd. I have been looking for a lightweight, smaller sized backpack, with sweat-wicking material for the part of the pack against the back, and cushioned straps. I just need enough room in the pack for the (dog and I) essentials for a day trip. I have searched a zillion sites, and have tried out several packs. I am very petite, and so far everything tried has been very uncomfortable. Any ideas out there? I can't find anything comfortable, for a tiny framed person...help!

Thank you :)

Have you checked out the HPL packs by Nathan? Many trail and ultra runners swear by these. They have a snug, 'vest'-like fit that keeps them from bouncing around so much and thick, soft straps that wick moisture and don't chafe. I can personally recommend the HPL #020.
