Stolt Running Anmeldelser 

Stolt have created a fantastic product! I bought the Athlete commuting set. I’ve been using it for about a month and I am really impressed.
What sold me on the Athlete backpack is the quality, comfort and size combined with the versatility. I typically cycle to work, but sometimes I cycle there and run home. I work in a traditional office environment in Mayfair (jeans and sports gear are not considered work appropriate!). I was tired of getting to work and finding my work clothes wet from the rain or wrinkled. I was excited to try this backpack because it would keep my clothes clean, wrinkle-free and dry (rain cover included!). Plus, it looks as smart as some of the backpacks made by very high end luxury luggage companies. The running belt is detachable so on days I want to run home, I leave my bag at work and run home with just my phones in the belt. I needed a bag that was roomy too. I often cart around my clothes, heels, makeup bag, packed breakfast and lunch, laptop, phones, etc etc!

For years I commuted with a leather messenger bag because it did the job. I typically don’t like to spend money on new things when I have something that works. When I saw how high spec and good quality the Stolt Athlete bag is, I decided to get it as a “back to work” gift for myself after some time off work. I’m so glad I did.

The bag is very comfortable, great quality and Stolt’s customer service is excellent.

I recently purchased a Stolt Running bag, primarily for carrying my heavy work-issued laptop on my daily commutes. Having put it to the test on a 9K run each way just yesterday, I'm absolutely thrilled with its performance and feel compelled to share my experience.

Firstly, the bag's design and build quality are second to none. It's evident that a lot of thought has gone into making this bag not only functional for runners but also comfortable to wear over longer distances. The weight distribution is excellent, and despite the considerable weight of my laptop, the bag felt secure and balanced throughout my run. And didn't get in the way of my arms or legs.

Running with a heavy load has always been a concern, but the Stolt Running bag has completely changed the game for me. It's reassuring to know that I can now comfortably and safely transport my work essentials on foot, aligning perfectly with my active lifestyle goals.

I did notice a slight rubbing at the bottom of my back on the return journey yesterday, but I attribute this to needing to adjust the straps. It's a minor issue, and I'm confident that with a bit of tweaking, I'll find the perfect setting.

Also, the pre-sales team where outstanding in helping me pick the best bag for my needs.

In summary, I'm over the moon with my Stolt Running bag. It's not just a bag; it's a game-changer for anyone looking to integrate their running routine with their daily commute. Whether you're carrying heavy tech or just your essentials, this bag will not let you down. Highly recommended for anyone looking to combine fitness with functionality.

I ordered the new Athlete backpack when it was in stock and I am very impressed with it. International delivery took some time but I was kept well informed and the team was very helpful. The product itself is great. It’s still perfect after 6 months of daily use. I already had the clothes box which fits in the backpack perfectly when travelling. The rolltop lock is cool feature and the bag has a similar laptop pocket with small pockets than other Stolt products. Great for running, cyckling, travelling, all of it.

I purchased the Hylo Athletics Alpha Backpack from Stolt in 2023 and have used it both in everyday work commuting as well as business travel. Its pretty amazing to be able to fit both heels and running shoes in the bag and still carry it in a comfortable and ergonomic way. Not all bags suit a shorter person like myself so I can only congratulate the designers!

**Note: after writing the below review, Stolt got in touch to discuss my feedback and were extremely helpful. The team is going to take a look at my bag for defects and send an alternative to try in the meantime. I'm impressed by the customer service and commitment to providing a high end product and experience.**

I bought the Stolt Athlete Commuter Set late last year. With a promotion and new customer discount it set me back about £135, although it's now listed at £198.

I really wanted to love it. I've been looking for a while for a bag that I can wear on my run into the office (10k or so), and also take to client meetings. The Stolt Athlete seemed to fit the bill perfectly.

I'm really disappointed. The bag has some great features but it's let down by poor design and low quality materials. After a few weeks I've given up wearing it to run. It's also not very comfortable to wear while cycling. It looks great as a city rucksack but there are similarly styled bags for much less money.

My main issues are:
- The shoulder straps keep coming loose. They're thin and don't have the friction to hold properly in the fasteners. I have to tighten them every few hundred metres as I run. I've not had this issue with other running bags

- The flat back padding, reinforced by a laptop in the laptop pouch, doesn't sit comfortably at all when fastened tight for running. There's no moulding to the shape of the back

- The hook fasteners for the shoulder straps and waist belt are fiddly and keep coming undone

- The fastener for the roll top is high quality and secure BUT the strap is nowhere near long enough. It won't close unless the roll top is folded down fully, which defeats the value of a roll top for adding capacity to the bag

- Most of the strap system feels cheap and lightweight — especially the chest strap, shoulder straps, and elasticated bands around the straps

- Minor point, but the elastic velcro band for holding a laptop in place is too short to fit round the size of laptop the bag is designed to hold

There are plenty of things to like about the bag. It looks really good. The clothes box is a nice concept. I really like the laptop pouch.

But ultimately I paid a premium price because I wanted something that would 1) feel premium in quality 2) look smart and 3) be good to run in. Sadly this bag only meets one of those three criteria.

The Stolt Alpha is outstanding. Here is a company that has thought long and hard about what is needed for a successful run commute. They then built it with high quality materials and craftsmanship. Thanks to Stolt and some max cushioned shoes I’m a runner again. Worth every cent. 6 out of 5 honestly.

Great product! I did something like 1000K of commute running with it in all sorts of weather, packed to the fullest. I am very satisfied with it. Also, very nice customer service. Maybe just one potential improvement: the belt pockets are hard to use while running, especially for a larger phone for example.

Great products, yes on the luxury side of back packs but worth the investment. I bought the stolt athelete complete pack with all the extras, really useful bit of kit. Great size for one night. Padding is great. Materials feel really nice and good quality.
I emailed after my order and they communicated straight back and resolved my issue.
Great company!

Bag delivers exactly what I needed, compact but fits a fair amount in (I carry laptop, cables, kit, shoes, lunch and water bottle in), stylish enough, comfortable for running and feels very light to carry, mainly due to where it sits and fits on the body than being particularly lightweight material. Also excellent service and experience in the ordering and delivery.

Fantastic durable product, great service. Would definitely recommend for all, runners and non runners especially for your commute.

Just the nicest back pack ever. So cleverly thought through. And the best customer service. I managed to order the wrong bag in the wrong colour and it was all sorted with real people who responded quickly to my email and delivery was fast too. I cannot recommend Stolt Running highly enough

The bag is good but is overpriced by £150. The quality doesn’t blow you away and there is so little space in the laptop section - the laptop charger has to fit in the shoe compartment.

There is nothing about the bag which justifies the price tag.

EDIT: To demonstrate how little room there is in the laptop section, my phone charger squashed into the fan and has crushed the bottom of the laptop.

Loistavat tuotteet, erinomainen henkilöstö, upea päällystö.

Purchase was super easy, international shipping to the US was free and arrived on time. Knocking one star off b/c while I was notified my order had been received, I didn't get confirmation when it was shipped or when a way to track the shipping. Overall love the backpack. The following three things would make it even better: a hook for hanging a water bladder (perhaps where backpack straps are stored), a clasp for securing keys, and an optional dopp kit or toiletries bag.

10/10 experience, high quality product which is both functional and stylish. The bag I have is a blue Podium backpack and it’s the best bag I’ve ever owned and is worth every single penny for how ergonomic it is.

Helpful customer service helping me choose the right bag, great instagram and community

Fantastic item. Can be used for work and adventure.. just feel the item could do with a pocket on the other side to add balance.

Purchase and delivery went smoothly. The backpack seems very nice and high quality.

Quick delivery on purchase and replacement of faulty product. Even though the backpack is not 100% for me, Keijo arranged for prompt and effortless return.

Absolutely phenomenal service! The staff were very helpful and helped me solve the issue I had. The whole process was seamless.
