Cool, glad they had some more and people can take advantage. I'm still trying to get mine to sit right, used it on Saturday for 15m and it was okay - certainly very easy to get at the bottles, and waist pockets are fine, but still need to work on the comfort side of things.
Excellent, thanks for the heads up - just ordered one online from them - even with £4 postage it is a result!
Just picked mine up, it arrived last wednesday but I didn't get the message it was here sat in the registry!
First impressions are that its a very lightweight bit of kit, much smaller than I imagined. Deffo race ready bit of kit, looking forward to test driving it soon!
I wore my OMM Adventure Light at the HPM and it didn't trouble me once. A very good piece of kit, which worked well coupled with an i-gammy bottle holder.
Are the bottles on the North Face bag easy to get at and replace on the move?Thanks
I have just got an Inov8 Race Pro 12 and found it to be fantastically comfy and although some people cannot seem to get on with the internal waist bladder, I have no issues with it so far.
It gets a thumbs up from me.

... continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Picked up one of the North Face enduro 13 packs from planetfear online for £45, tested it on a recce of the Blubberhouses 25 saturday and it was absolutely brilliant, very stable once on and bottles very easy to reach, I can recommend it
I'm still trying to get mine to sit right - I even tweeted Jez Bragg (who kindly replied!) - I've got the velcro part over my sternum, then the waist belt falls just on/above my hips, but if I pull the straps tight to remove all movement - I find them restricting my breathing? Any advice anyone?
Used mine for the first time on the weekend for the trollers trot. I only realised when I arrived that I hadn't actually ran with it yet to fit it, so threw it on my back, loaded the bottles up and gel pouches and away I went.
Required just a few straps tightening but I was very impressed with it, I could hardly tell it was there at all the whole way round.
The bottles are great for on the move rehydration, relatively easy to get in and out, and the gel pouches come into their own of course.
All in all, happy with the purchase, much better than my old berghaus walking rucksack which rubbed like hell
