Size & Fit Guide

Measure around the fullest part of your chest with a tape measure, keeping it level, and choose by chest measurement rather than your usual clothing size. Centimetre values are converted from inches. Between two sizes? Choose the larger size and adjust the chest straps for a close, comfortable fit.

ROOT5, ROOT8 or ROOT18

Choose by what the route forces you to carry, not by distance alone.

What independent runners reported

Four independent trail runners tested the ROOT5, our 5L pack, on their own runs: a short trail loop, hill sprints, and long runs of 16 and 20 miles. LECAMO sent them the pack free of charge and did not edit what they said. They reported comfortable, breathable material and a close fit, two front flask pockets with zips on both sides, and wide-mouth flasks that are easy to fill with ice. They also reported that the front clips are angled, so one runner needed two hands to open them, and that a larger runner found it snug at first before saying it felt good once used. Their notes, including what they would change, are on the runner reviews page.

FAQ: Choosing an 8L trail running pack

Who is ROOT8 for?

ROOT8 is designed for daily training, mid-distance races and variable routes where hydration, layers and required gear need more room.

How is it different from a 5L pack?

The extra capacity helps when your route needs additional clothing, nutrition or mandatory equipment. Choose ROOT5 5L when your carry list is compact.

When should I choose 18L?

Move to ROOT18 18L when the route has longer water gaps or requires a substantially larger single-day load. Use the pack capacity guide to compare.
