Janji Multipass Sling - For Runners?

When I saw that Janji's sling bag could be used for running, I was very curious. I frequently run with a backpack when I run commute. And I've run with a running vest before. But sometimes, I need something even smaller. And that's exactly where this running sling comes in. It's a 2L bag that can hold keys, cards, a phone, has room for a packable jacket or rain layer, and it can even hold a full size water bottle. And yes, you can run with it.

Disclosures: this is a bag that was sent to me by Jani. However, no one is paying me to wear the bag or to make this video. No one will have a chance to preview my thoughts or footage before you get a chance to watch this video on youtube.

Thanks for watching! Leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!

Strange, I was just looking at this bag and YouTube suggested this video 😃

[dewafelbakkers]

Hey Kofuzi. In the two year since this was posted, have you found anything that serves better as a cross body/ cross back running sling?

[nelsonxavier]

Thank you so much for the donation❤️ also that was a really good effort for my last name, but it’s pronounced Kan-he-ra-thing-al. So just to make it easier for you, you can just call me Nelson Xavier :)) But thank you once again!

[taniamejia]

Just placed my order, you’ve convinced me. Can’t wait to start using it

[Mondoman]

Kofuzi doing the exact same disclosure for four years I love it

[raphaelmartins]

Naked waist belt, it's so stretchable it can carry 2x500ml flasks, cell phone, gels/food, Go Pro... Very good option vs a light running vest (at least for the warmer days, not sure about it over layers of clothes...)

[tmantony]

I will certainly try it.I think it has a lot of variety for my ultra runs.Thanks.

[GokuRunner]

Fun. Might be good to carry during a race to store the gopro and some nutrition

[mejulesyap]

Nice review on the Janji malty plassing blag 😂

[ryandoherty]

I have a Solomon vest that's skin tight, basically, even tho most of it is empty when I go out, it doesn't move around enough to warrant me getting something like this sling. Even though I think this sling is probably the right amount of storage, and tightness.

What is that top layer you have on in this review?

[urbanromantics]

nice review BUT I would like a how -to. Cant figure out the second arm strap or the sinching. Was hoping to have instructions on how to set it up.

[ddq]

What do you think about running with something like an Aer day sling 2 or Aer city sling?

[customscooterszaandam]

@kofuzi I use the flipbelt with zipper, it works perfectly and fits a lot. You hardly feel that you are wearing it

i got my janji multipass after watching your videos hundreds on times. great videos! is your 3rd strap inside the back pocket? i think i recieved a defective item.

[tuffyluvsme]

can we use this for NYC Marathon? No backpack allowed and this is sling bag… still not sure?

[jamjam]

This looks way better than the nike slim waist pack. Did you try running with the janji on your hips? Curious if the water bottle would feel more evenly distibuted. Looking into getting one, thanks.

[sultan]

Thanks for the review! Do you know is there a way to get these here in the eu? Also, what's that size-zip jacket you wear? Looks so cool!

[drewsonofmorris]

Is it difficult to access things when it is on your back?

[hagakuru]

How would you rate the sling for being water repellent? Would its contents get soaked during a downpour?
