A ZombieRunner customer writes: "I have never, ever, found a pack which was *exactly*
perfect. The Wasp is no exception, but it comes very close. The very
fact that it has not one but *two* ice axe loops shows that someone
had me in mind when it was designed. My goal was a fairly spacious
running pack for unsupported 20+ mile runs and ultralight day hikes
with minimal gear. The Wasp hugs the upper torso as well as the
equivalent Nathan race vests but has much more storage volume and a
more convenient set of front pockets: two holsters for carbo-gels
(fits the 5oz flasks or a couple of single-serving packets perfectly)
and two larger pockets perfect for gloves, maps, snacks and other
small essentials. The rear has the main hydration chamber, a medium
sized flat pocket and a small zippered pocket as well as a mesh pouch
and bungie tie-down on the back. Let's talk hydration. The roll-top
hydration bladder takes some getting used to and a bit of extra care
must be taken to get it well-sealed, but it is extremely easy to clean
and the internal baffle prevents side-to-side sloshing very nicely."
Are you seeking the perfect companion for long trail runs and adventure without submitting an online profile? We recommend the Wasp. It features Ultimate's innovative SportVest shoulder harness system that fits like a garment and keeps the pack higher on the body. Two front mesh pockets offer quick access to gear or food, and stretch mesh allows the pocket to expand and compress.
