"I have been using a 22L Inov-8 pack, but needed to move up to something larger. I commute by running, and this bag is easily large enough to accommodate a wash kit, towel, suit, shirt, shoes, breakfast and lunch, plus A4 document holders. All this, with plenty of room to spare.
I've only had the chance to use the bag a couple of times, but found it to be light, comfortable and adjustable on the run. Bottle holding pockets were fine to reach, and the waist-strap pockets are a good size."
"Even given Inov-8's tendancy to allow space for your foot to breathe, these are a little too spacious. I would say size down if in doubt, but that doesn't stop them from being comfy."
"You can't expect everything form a budget chain, but this appears to be good value for money. The quality is better than the more expensive chain that I am having to replace."
Pros: Great Value, Rugged

Run Performance Socks (Twin Pack)
Run Performance has little energy boosters for your feet. All anatomically vulnerable zones are padded, reducing the chances of blisters and pressure sores, even during long periods or intense activity.
"These socks are comfortable enough, but I am a little disappointed with them.
FIrst, I can't understand the point of the orange fabric tab on the achilles. It is described as an 'achilles tendon protector', but looks like a ridiculous duck's bill, and strikes me as being just as useful.
Secondly they seem to be a bit too long, despite the array of sizes available. The result is you end up with the heel pad half way up the back, rather than underneath.
I know a lot of people like these socks, so maybe it's just me, but I prefer my Thorlo's."
Cons: Expensive, Poor Fit

Core Mens Tri Pant
The Core Tri Pant is one of Orca’s most popular products and a staple of triathletes around the world looking for performance and durability in a tri pant for training and racing. In 2010 the Core Tri Pant benefits from the new tri-Protect Chamois – a hybrid triathlon chamois that provides ...
"I have these, and the more expensive 2XU comp shorts. The Orca's are a less generous cut, but fit very comfortably.
I've not swam in them, so I can't comment on that, but for longer runs (20k +) the Orca's win every time. No rubbing, the padding is un-obtrusive and they feel comfortable from start to finish."
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"It weighs next to nothing, goes on your head, covers your ears, keeps you warm, costs far less than many of the alternatives...what else can I say?
I don't like the big label inside, but this is more of an OCD thing about unnecessarily large labels. You certainly don't feel the label when wearing it."
Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Good Fit

"The cage is sturdy enough, and looks good in situ. Can't fit my SIS bottle in it though, and now I need to buy a bottle that fits."

Do these shorts have an adjustable drawstring waist
They do indeed have a drawstring, which tucks comfortably inside

What about mounting screws?
Are they included in the package too, or do I need to buy it separately?
