Great but there are a few things to consider

Great product and I would recommend. A few notes: * You may find comments complaining about the 2 small straps holding the water hoses, saying they are brittle and broken. That is absolutely right. As soon as I received the item I looked at it and it's clearly a weak point judging by the stitching. Solution: I just put a couple of paperclips on each side to secure them. Without them, it will undoubtedly break at some point.* So many pockets! I can't even count them, you definitely won't miss them. In this respect, everything is very well thought out*. Have you ever run with water in front? I didn't, and when I tried it, I was in for a nasty surprise. It shifts weight and I personally have run poorly for some reason (2 full bottles and my beefy 180lb weight). So on my second run I tried just pouring the water backwards, hose forward, and I ran 10 miles pretty damn fast. I will never put this water in the foreground again. Bottom line: try this first before just assuming its ok or agreeing to buy this product even though you will never use front water bottles. * The gray plastic water hose clip is held in place by a magnet, a really nice touch! This way you don't have to clip/unclip the hose every time, the clip stays on the hose.* Aside from those two little straps, the whole structure is very well constructed (fortunately for the price). This is exactly what you need to allow your lungs to expand, which of course is very important. The lower part is above the diaphragm, so it can expand, while the lateral expansion of the lungs is also not limited.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I will add later
