Review on 🎒 Gelindo Hydration Backpack with 2L Bladder - Lightweight Running Water Backpack for Men and Women - Insulated Cycling Hydration Vest for Trail Marathon Running Race and Outdoor Activities by Pius Aponte

I run 13.1 miles every few weeks. Trail running to prepare for upcoming marathons. Unlike race days when there are plenty of hydration stations; When I train, I'm alone. Adequate hydration and snacks are essential. The Gelindo hydration pack is great. It's made of durable nylon that has withstood bumps and even a fall down a hill. The backpack has two main compartments (one large, the other small). I usually keep my keys, ID and phone in a small closet. For the most part there is a pocket for the supplied drinking bottle and enough space for two more 0.5L soft flasks, as well as a double zipper. Each shoulder has hose outlets and a velcro strap to secure the hose. The bite valve on the hose is soft and easy to use. I can only push with my upper teeth to drain water. There is also a cap and check valve to keep the bite valve clean and prevent leakage. A 2 liter bottle is enough for me. I rarely drink more than 1 liter on the slopes. The large opening makes filling and cleaning easier. I can put my whole hand in my bladder with paper towels to wipe it off. The backpack is a single chest strap that fits me well. Some people prefer two straps but I find it too tight. I am very happy with this backpack and look forward to using it often.
