Review on ๐Ÿ’ง Nathan NS4913 Vaporkrar Running Fitness Waist Pack for Hydration on the Go by Jon Ford

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Amazing materials but why a tutu?

My waist measurement varies between 32 and 33 inches depending on the manufacturer's cut, so I ordered a small/medium size based on the size chart and user feedback. I was very excited when it arrived at my doorstep but was disappointed that it was too small! Things to consider when trying to figure out which size to go for if you're between sizes. First, to save weight, the designers abandoned the traditional adjustable clip/buckle and Velcro system. In an innovative way they have crafted this fully looped hip pack with mechanically adjustable elastic sections for a secure fit to the body and micro buckles for an additional fastening system. Like Revain's higher quality reversible belt. Stepping through this hoop and pulling the Vaporkrar up gives you a wedge as it's like pulling a large rubber band over your shorts. People might look at you when you try to put it on before a race and now your 5 inch shorts show a lot more leg. dress and undress. Didn't mention the removed part to save face. Secondly, if you have wide hips or a big butt (sprinters) and any of these measurements are larger than your waist measurement, then this needs to be taken into account when choosing a Vaporkrar body harness as you will need to stretch it through these things before you do the waist reach. If I had bought a large/xl it might have been easier to put the Vaporkrar on but then at 32/33 it would be too loose. Hopefully another review will point that out. I will also note that other reviewers are correct about the bottle's design. The materials used to make this belt are amazing! Super light, stretchy and well placed modules. In the end I opted for the Salomon hip belt with Velcro. Works great but doesn't look as cool as e Vaporcrar. Pity!

Pros
  • practical item
