This strap does a great job, I used it for a gravel ride, but I am confident it would be good for hiking or short runs. I felt discomfort over the shoulder after about an hour, and loosening it didn’t help, so for me, I will limit it to 60-90min trips. Couldn’t be happier with my bag (small)the compartment just keep expanding, and I was able to take all my bike spares and gels normally mounted on my bike, looks cool too 👌
