Fits a change of clothes, shoes, lightweight towel and room for some food. I see from my log that we have now run together for 1,392 miles and 188.4 hours - and I've been very happy with it.

Closest I can find is an X-Lite, although they seem very cheap so not sure how well made or robust they are these days. I reckon 15litres is probably enough, more than 20l will almost certainly be too bulky for running.
