    The Symonds brothers just won the OMM elite with the elite 15s. Wiggle are doing this one for £30 if you can stand the logo on the back.

    I have a race pro 22 but don't like it much and used it twice. The hydration bladders a right faff and the pockets don't make sense. The 12 is better thought out by the looks of it but I still wouldn't have one because of the bladder.

    the 15 l looks good and is lighter weight, not sure that you can use the bladder though, and at first glance there is no mesh on the outside to hold a bottle.

    may invest at £30 unless the 12L features somewhere else cheaper than about £40

    I ran with the 12 for a long time, the bladder is a faff, but you soon develop a technique to get it in, and once its in unless you run for over 5 hours in the sun its enough for most long training runs. Saying that I'm a convert to water bottles since I took up ultra running. I tried the bottle carrier that's sold separately but didn't get on with it. I've since switched to a go-lite pack that carries two water bottles on the back, whilst you do have to take the sack off to get the bottle back in it is a much better way to carry water. You really don't realise they are there. The pockets on the hip belt are nice and easy to get to which is a design problem with the inov-8 packs.
