ROOT5 suits shorter training runs and supported races where you need water and compact essentials. Check your route's refill points and required gear before choosing capacity.
Plan around water, a phone, keys, fuel and a light layer. Add safety or navigation equipment when the route requires it.
Choose ROOT8 8L when you regularly carry extra layers or more food, or ROOT18 18L for longer self-supported routes. See the pack capacity guide.
