Review on πŸŽ’ Nathan Vaporhowe Women's Hydration Pack with 1.8L Reservoir - Running Vest by Troy Robinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The investment is definitely worth it!

I waited to review this hydration pack until I found a reliable use for it, but now I can say I love it 100% and I don't think I'll ever be able to use it in the summer he walks again for a long time without him. Here's my list of pros: - At first I wasn't sure if this would fit my bust size (I'm 36-38DD) but with a high impact sports bra the XL fits perfectly. (If you're much larger than your bust, this will likely be too tight.) The chest straps slide up and down, allowing you to position them so they don't go directly across your chest. It has a snug but comfortable fit and is definitely made for women. It's very light and comfortable. Even with a bladder full of ice and water, I barely feel its weight. Of course, the back can be a bit hot, but that's what happens when the back is covered. In general, it is very breathable. The straps won't rub, even when you're wearing a tank top. The bubble shape makes it splashproof. It's also easy to fill. Lots of pockets! Even if your phone doesn't fit in a dedicated phone case (it's too tight for my iPhone XS with a case), there are plenty of other options. There's also a whistle and a tiny spot for a key, as well as plenty of pockets and space for anything you might want to take with you. It's so convenient. I've spent a lot of time deciding if it's worth the investment and it definitely is. The water fountains in my area are still offline due to COVID-19, so bringing your own water for long summer runs is the only option, and I got to the point where my small portable bottle just didn't have enough water and was a burden. - Blue is a fun, beautiful color. Just a few cons: - Getting the bubble to dry when you're done is quite a hassle. I turn it over, put an empty plastic bottle inside to keep it open, and leave it on a paper towel on the counter. I have never tried washing it with soap. I don't think you can ever fully wash it. I also don't recommend turning the bubble inside out to dry. To be honest, that's more trouble than it's worth. Carrying it warms a bit, but that happens with any hydration pack in the summer and it's still worth it. Overall, I highly recommend this hydration pack and am very happy with my purchase! I can't wait to continue training with it for a half marathon.
