My son-in-law used to run to work. He would take the train to work and leaves clothes for the next day and run home. On the next day, he ran to work; etc.
I've heard great things from trail runners and commuters about Ultimate Direction packs.
I walk/run to work on a fairly regular basis. I settled on a sling pack because the regular back packs all seemed to restrict natural arm movements. The one I use is the the Plan B Evac from Hazard4. It's just the right size to carry a full set of work clothes and the quality is outstanding. It can accommodate a hydration bladder so it also works very well for long range hiking. You probably aren't interested in the tactical applications, but it's also a great patrol pack. Here's a video covering the features. Close your eyes for the first minute if you are squeamish about firearms Hazard 4® Plan-B Sling Pack
Salomon, Nathan, Ultimate Direction, Osprey are good choices.Camelback ones are good, too, because you can add/remove a bladder.
I remembered last night that I have a few years old Camelbak HAWG (afwul name). I'm going to take the bladder out and give it a go with that.
That's a good size pack. Should work pretty well.
not sure about it's tactical prowess, though.
Speaking of packs, does anyone know a good way to get the stink out of the straps? I have a new Camelbak that I've only used a handful of times, but I sweat a lot and the straps smell terrible (as in, I had to take it out of my closet and put it in the basement terrible).
