Ultra Running Pack Personality Test

Why research your next Ultra Running pack when you can take the Ultra Running Pack Personality Test?   I decided there must be a more unscientific way to pick that perfect pack than pouring over online reviews and visiting your local running store. You're welcome.  I am here to help you choose your very own pack in a fresh, hip, and intuitive way.  If you thought you knew how to choose a pack, then have a seat. You're about to be schooled.

Add a little personality to that pack, Rrrrrrroar!

How to take the Test:
I have 3 categories. Each category corresponds to a specific pack. No peeking ahead of time!  After answering the questions add up your "True" responses for each category (A, B, or C).  The category that has the most "true" responses is your ideal personality matched pack.  Once you've tallied your responses, scroll down to read what pack best fits your personality! 

Disclaimer:  This test in no way gives you a meaningful way to pick a running pack.
