Best running backpack for commuting
The Alpha backpack is designed for active commuters, runners and cyclists. Every feature has been carefully considered to guarantee maximum comfort and performance, from the padded back panel to its breathable mesh material. The ergonomic design also means it doesn’t bounce when running; ensuring your laptop, clothes and belongings stay safely stored as you go.
Innovative materials
Not bothered by the weather? Neither is the Alpha, made using 500d nylon coated in our signature 3-way shield finish that protects your bag against sweat, odour and rain. It’s water resistant, super lightweight and durable, ready for anything that life throws at it – whether that be a heatwave, storm or giant puddle.
Combining tech and style
What it brings in practicalities, the Alpha matches in office style. A hide-away strap system means this commuter backpack can transform from a technical sports rucksack to a sleek work bag – ready for impressing the boss and carrying the after-work drinks. Keep your business attire crease-free in an add-on garment box and head from the gym to the boardroom in one flawless stride.
FAQ
What is the difference between Stolt Alpha and Stolt Podium?
Stolt Alpha is our original cyclists and runners backpack for commuting with a capacity of 20 litres (25 litres when using the expandable compartment). Stolt Podium is a smaller version of Alpha (10 litre capacity expanding to 13 litres) with some additional features such as our ‘3 way carry’ meaning that the bag can be carried as a backpack, briefcase or a shoulder bag.
Where Alpha serves you even on an overnight business trip, Podium is classified more as a day pack that fits your daily essentials. Our garment box is also designed for Stolt Alpha to carry more clothes, whereas Stolt Podium has an internal built-in sleeve to fit a shirt and trousers. Please note that the garment box doesn’t fit inside Stolt Podium.
What is the difference between the Alpha backpack and Alpha C backpack?
All Alpha commuter backpacks have the same ergonomic design with a few differences to suit your individual style. The original Alpha rucksack uses a super durable, light-weight material – perfect for cyclists and runners. It also comes with a top handle and hideaway backpack straps.
The Alpha C has an additional side handle for carrying as a suitcase or shoulder bag. It’s also made of a tougher 1680D ballistic nylon which makes it slightly sturdier than the original Alpha.
What makes the Alpha the best commuter backpack for running and cycling?
Stolt cycling and running backpacks for commuting are the perfect combination of a practical sport bag and smart business accessory. Designed by a team of active commuters, we’ve added every essential feature you need to navigate the city without compromising on style.
The Alpha is a light-weight, comfortable backpack with padded mesh panels and shoulder straps. It won’t budge whilst you move – and neither will your clothes, snugly stored in a separate garment box to keep them wrinkle-free. The addition of a padded laptop compartment and our innovative water and sweat repellent material really does make this the best running commuter backpack.
