Review on TRIWONDER 5.5L Hydration Vest For Running, Cycling, Hiking - Water Backpack For Trail Races And Marathons by Gregory Abercrombie

I love the TriWonder hydration pack! For reference, I am a 5’7 medium build female marathon runner.Straps and design. Since I have a curvy build, chest straps on hydration packs are often a nuisance. The TriWonder solves this problem. The chest straps are on a vertical track, so you can easily slide the straps up or down. There are also length adjustable straps located on the sides, under the arm area. During a high humidity 86 degree marathon I was able to adjust all the straps perfectly to prevent chaffing. All the straps have plenty of length to accommodate a range of torso sizes. The color is very flattering too.Pockets. During the marathon I was able to carry pain relief medicine, a gel, a sports bar, several packs of sports beans, small bottle of sunscreen, lip sunscreen, battery pack, and charging cord. And I had room to spare.Material. The fabric is sturdy yet lightweight so it wouldn’t add unnecessary weight. The sewing is solid. I was surprised that the fabric kept my torso cool, or at least didn’t add any heat, unlike my other hydration packs. Also, plenty of reflective strips to keep you safe during those early morning starts.Water capacity. I switched out the bladder and tubing for a 3L from another brand and it worked great. There are guide hooks on the front chest strap to keep the tubing secure while in motion. I love this feature! The bladder that came included with the pack looks fine to me, I just wanted more water for a hot weather marathon. I set it aside to use later during cooler weather.
