FAQs
What is the total volume of the OEX Vallo Run 10L?
The OEX Vallo Run 10L has a total volume of 10 liters.
Is this pack suitable for carrying a laptop?
This pack is designed for outdoor activities and is not optimized for carrying electronics like laptops. The 10L capacity and internal organization are suited for running or hiking essentials, not a laptop.
Can I attach extra gear to the outside of the pack?
The pack has a grab handle but does not feature external attachment points like daisy chains or bungee cords for significant gear. It is designed for a streamlined, minimalist carry.
What type of material is the pack made from?
The main fabric is 100% polyamide ripstop with a PU coating, designed for durability and water resistance.
How do I ensure the pack stays dry in wet conditions?
While the ripstop fabric has a PU coating for some water resistance, the pack is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproof liner inside the main compartment or a separate pack cover.
What is the benefit of the spacer mesh back panel?
The spacer mesh creates a small gap between your back and the pack, allowing air to circulate and promoting ventilation. This helps keep you cooler and more comfortable during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Pack feels uncomfortable or causes chafing
Adjust the shoulder straps and sternum strap for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure weight is balanced within the pack. Check for any stray threads or seams inside the pack that might be causing irritation.
Hydration hose is difficult to draw water from
Ensure the bite valve is in the open position. Check that the hydration bladder is not kinked and that the hose is not obstructed. Ensure the bladder is adequately filled and there are no air locks in the system.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, which can cause damage.
Water leaks into the main compartment
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check for any tears or holes in the main fabric. If using a hydration bladder, verify the bladder itself is not leaking and the hose connection is secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Hydration System: If using a hydration bladder, insert it into the designated sleeve within the main compartment. Thread the hose through the top exit port and secure it to a shoulder strap using the integrated clips.
- Loading Essentials: Distribute weight evenly. Place heavier items closer to your back. Utilize the zipped main compartment for bulkier items and the smaller pockets for frequently needed items like keys, a phone, or energy gels.
Compatibility:
- Hydration Systems: Compatible with most standard hydration reservoirs up to 2 liters. Ensure your reservoir has a suitable hose connection.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the pack with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the fabric's coating and breathable membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the pack completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not expose it to direct sunlight or high heat for extended periods, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
