Why We Like The Salomon XT 15L Set
The Salomon XT 15L Set provides ultra-stable support to keep our gear secure while we train for long-distance trail runs. The pack is designed with vest-style shoulder straps and a dedicated pocket for the included soft flask water bottle. At 15 liters, the bag offers room for our nutrition and layers, with a hydration sleeve that accommodates a reservoir of up to 2 liters. The improved back panel features plush, breathable padding, and the adjustable belt and chest straps keep the pack firmly in place as we bounce over rocky terrain. A plethora of pockets offer convenient storage for our trekking poles, snacks, phones, and GPS, and the elastic cord system on the front panel can be adjusted to haul extra gear or balance our bag.

Comfortable pack with one major flaw
I wanted to like this pack as it generally sits comfortably and snug and seems great for run commuting, hiking and cycling. The back panel is cushy and the material is super lightweight. However, when hanging a full hydration reservoir inside the designated loop on the inside, the top part of the pack collapses into a fold due to the lack of structure. The fold gets uncomfortable and annoying for the upper back really quickly. Seems like a major design issue to me. Also, all the straps are so stiff that they need two hands to adjust which can get bothersome when running or cycling.
