It’s hard not to expect only the best from a Tracksmith product. The brand is renowned for its premium products and excellent craftsmanship, and the items I have experienced so far have only reinforced this reputation. The latest Tracksmith masterpiece I had the privilege of trying is the Olmsted Pack, an exclusive running pack designed specifically for commuters.Named after Frederick Law Olmsted, who co-designed Central Park in New York with Calvert Vaux, the Olmsted Pack is definitely thebest running backpackI tried in the last few years.It’s the perfect size, offering ample space for all your essentials, and boasts a plethora of organization options, ensuring everything has its place. Not only is it practical, but it also exudes a timeless beauty. Most importantly, it sits comfortably on your back, even when you’re running.
