Review on πŸ’¦ Hydrosleeve Hydration Pack: Optimal Hands-Free Armband Hydration for Runners, Marathons, Triathletes, Trail Runners, and Athletes by Roy Whetstone

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall a great product with a few areas for improvement.

First of all, I love this product. I hate carrying anything when I'm running, so balancing my phone strap on my other arm is great. I live in a hot, dry climate, so small sips are essential for running in the summer. My arm is 11.5 inches at the bicep, little girl's weak arms. The smallest size fits all with room to adjust and dress. It comes with two chambers and two bite valves, so I love that too. Here are the reasons I'm only giving four stars: 1 - The soft material of the velcro straps is already deteriorating and sometimes causing a loose fit. I've only had it for about 2 months and I don't run daily (2-4 times a week) . The rest of the parts appear to be of higher quality. This material will stand up to most abuse and wear and tear, but should last more than 2-3 months. 2. The chamber and valve also have an odd taste that I couldn't get rid of despite washing several times. 3. Rough hook. The Velcro side is slightly thicker than the stretched soft side, causing it to scratch and irritate the soft armpit skin. Eventually I adjust it several times while drinking water and the weight changes. 4- If the bladder was a little thicker it would still fit in a zippered pocket (I kept my mask in there while I was on the trail) and give me about 2 ounces more. This would be a huge improvement. Overall it's amazing and I would buy it again especially if they made adjustments to the product to fix these issues.
