I've struggled to find a good solution for hydration - I run with my dog, and carrying enough water for both of us is a problem. Stashing water ahead of time is a pain. Dragging my husband out at oh-dark-thirty to drive around and deliver water is unfair. I've tried several solutions, but carrying bottles is hard to do in my hands and still handle the leash, and water belts slop around on my hips and drive me nuts. Hydration packs seemed like the obvious solution, but they're pricy and most are cut for men and just don't fit right.
This little pack, though, is Just Right! It's cut for a woman, so it's comfortable across the chest and sits right on my back. 50 oz is enough for 8-10 miles (depending on how hot it is), so enough for most runs - and at least when we run longer, husband only has to meet us once. The bladder has a large opening, so it's easy to fill and clean, and it's easy to get in and out of the pack. The vest isn't hot at all, especially if you toss the full bladder in the fridge overnight before the run. It's fitted enough to not move around, but doesn't rub or chafe. The first time I ran with it, the water sloshed a bit, but squeezing the air out after filling solved that problem too. I can easily drink out of the bite valve on the run, or pinch it with my fingers and squeeze the pack a bit to give the dog a drink - and there's a valve on the bite valve that guarantees no leaks between sips.
There are pricier packs out there, but this one does the job for me! Now I want this pack with built in LEDs front and back for running in the dark and it'll be the perfect solution!
