Kmart Australia sends shoppers running over a $19 must-have summer item: ‘Can’t live without it’

Kmart Australia has embraced the ‘run club’ trend by launching its own running essentials, with shoppers raving about a $19 must-have summer item.

The 5 liter ‘hydration’ backpack with built-in reservoir is in stores – perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, running or camping.

Designed to keep you refreshed and hydrated on the go, the sleek bag features an easy-fill 2-litre hydration pack, multiple storage pockets and adjustable shoulder straps for a comfortable fit.

The sleek backpack is expected to fly off the shelves as it would be great for running clubs, which have become hugely popular in recent years.

It’s an outdoor activity that brings hundreds of like-minded people – both friends and strangers – together in one location to run, socialize and motivate each other every week.

Shoppers love the hydration backpack, especially for its lightweight, padded features and convenience in delivering water on the go.

The new product follows Kmart’s popular 6L two-day hydration pack, which has received more than 40 reviews and has an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars.

The $22 bag is larger than the new product and offers extra space for carrying essentials, but features a similar 2-liter reservoir – perfect for short day hikes, trail riding, hiking and commuting.

‘I took this on a 22 mile walk and it was amazing. It’s a little tricky to fill up without spilling, but I can’t complain about the price,” said one person.

‘I’m a meter reader and walk about six hours a day. This has become invaluable to me. I couldn’t live without it. Easy to use, keeps my water cool in hot weather,” said another.

‘Cheap yet high-quality product. It holds a lot more water than a water bottle and has plenty of storage for other items,” one person added.

And it’s not just the hydration bags that shoppers are loving.

The new product comes after Kmart's popular 6L two-day hydration pack, which has received more than 40 reviews and has an average rating of 4.7 stars out of five

With a runtime of up to 12 hours on a full charge, the 5,000 mAh rechargeable battery has two USB charging ports, allowing you to charge two devices at the same time.

Shoppers including travelers and campers are raving about the product, with one saying: ‘It’s the best thing I’ve bought. Have had it for a while now and it works well.’

The lightweight charger, which doubles as a flashlight, has received more than 80 five-star reviews, with an average rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars.

‘I bought this hoping it would be good and it exceeded my expectations. It holds its charge very well and even charges my iPhone and AirPods without dropping a bar. This will travel with me from now on, it is environmentally friendly and very light. There are much more expensive ones on the market, but this one gets my approval,” said one.
