MM6 X Salomon
Xt 15 Backpack
This MM6 x Salomon XT 15 backpack is a hybrid technical daypack from the collaborative capsule, designed for urban commuting and outdoor activities. It features a 100% polyamide body with a built-in ripstop waterproof cover, a large main compartment with double zip, secondary zip pockets, two stretch mesh water bottle pockets, and an adjustable harness with sternal straps and a padded abdominal strap. Measuring 42 x 26 x 8 cm, it offers a lightweight padded mesh back system; however, user feedback notes that fitting a 14-inch laptop deforms the pack and some bounce occurs during running.

Product Insights
The Xt 15 Backpack by MM6 X Salomon, debuted at the AW22 Milan runway show and worn by Rihanna at the 2023 Super Bowl, fuses Salomon's trail-running performance—full harness system, dual sternum straps, hip belt, hydration sleeve, waterproof ripstop cover—with MM6's minimalist aesthetic, including an all-black shell and signature horizontal topstitching. Weighing 556 g, it carries a 13-inch laptop and organizes work and gym gear across seven pockets, aiming to transition from trail to office. Yet, the fashion collaboration doubles the price to CAD $425, and runners may still experience bounce and shirt lift. The one-size pack fits torso lengths 38–43 cm, and a 14-inch laptop deforms it, limiting its appeal to those prioritizing style and low weight over perfect running stability or universal fit.

Reddit Insights
1 threads · r/fastpackingThe Salomon XT15 is considered a decent do-it-all pack for running and commuting, though it has a snug laptop compartment that can deform with larger devices and some minor bounce issues.
Users report the pack as generally comfy and decent for self-supported ultras, but note that fitting a 14" laptop deforms the pack and there is some bounce and shirt ride-up while running.

Salomon XT15 owner shares experience with laptop fit and running comfort
I have the xt15 and a 14" laptop. Never done run commuting before but I have the same issue as the person with the cross 15, in that I can fit my laptop but it deforms the pack a bit. I think a 13" laptop without a sleeve/case would fit, but would definitely be better to try it on in store or buy from somewhere with a good returns policy. Other than that I think it's a decent pack, though it's the first and only pack I've owned. A little bit of bounce and my shirt tends to ride up my back, but generally pretty comfy. Using it for a self supported 100k this weekend.
