Orbiter RunPack
Introduction
RunPack is a premium model among Orbiters. It offers a waterproof fabric with a membrane that protects the contents while allowing moisture to escape. It features eight pockets — four with zippers and two with Velcro — plus an external Cross-cord lacing system for attaching a jacket or accessories. For optimal comfort and size adjustment, it uses the Snake-bands system (S to XXL), along with adjustable shoulder and underarm straps. RunPack is built for demanding runs and all-day use.
Usage
The Orbiter was originally developed for the demanding disciplines of Le Parkour and Freerunning. The RunPack model is specially adapted for runners.
However, it can also be used for other leisure activities.
Special Features:
-
Cross-cord: External storage space for extra clothing. You can tighten, for example, a windbreaker into this crossed lacing.
-
Cord-lock: A loop to secure the loose end of the underarm cord.
-
Snake-bands: A set of three straps that allow you to adjust the Orbiter to the optimal size. The adjustment is made using our special Size-adjuster hook.
Good Advice
-
The Orbiter backpack can be used by men, women, and children, depending on individual body proportions. However, proper adjustment (fixation) and maintaining comfort during activity are essential.
-
With proper fit, it’s possible to travel in public transport without taking the Orbiter off.
-
We recommend wearing the Orbiter with functional (running) clothing that fits close to the body for maximum comfort.
-
We suggest storing valuables in the front (chest) pockets of the Orbiter.
-
Always adjust straps or change size in a safe, stable environment.
-
Listening to music while using the Orbiter is possible, but always follow safety principles and maintain awareness of your surroundings.
Notice
Always set the correct Orbiter size:
Using an incorrect size for your chest circumference may result in improper fixation or loss of functionality of the Orbiter or its parts.
Not Recommended
-
Wearing the Orbiter on bare skin
-
Wearing the Orbiter with another backpack (risk of abrasion damage)
-
Sitting for extended periods with the Orbiter pressed against the backrest
-
Storing electronics in the chest section while driving
-
Placing sharp, heavy, or bulky items inside the Orbiter
Product Description
-
Chest and Back Sections
The product consists of two main panels (sections) with pockets. The first panel is placed on the user’s chest, and the second on the back. -
Connecting Section
Both panels are connected by a cord lacing system, which is also the quickest way to adjust the product size. -
Adjustment Straps
Each Orbiter includes two adjustable tightening straps, both of which can be adjusted to the proper fit.
Snake-bands Adjustment
-
Snake-bands are simply extension straps that allow you to enlarge or reduce the Orbiter once. It’s the last option when standard adjustment elements (straps and underarm cords) are not enough.
-
Each of the six Snake-bands straps is rolled and secured with an elastic loop. Adjustments are made with our special “Size-adjuster hook”.
