Comfortable pack, just need to wash it a few times first

Got this pack for my long runs 9-13 miles. The bag is great, with no chafing issues and minimal movement. The only problem is the black dye used on the front (outward facing side) bleeds color. I set it down on a towel and it left black stains (I was at the gym so thought maybe it was already on the towel and I just didn't notice it). So after another run, I put it on the floor of the bathtub and it definitely stained. So I soaked it for a day in a wash basin, then ran it through the washer on rinse. That seems to have taken care of it.
