Review on 💦 Nathan NS4196-0015-00 QuickStart Hydration Vest: Stay Hydrated on the Go with 4L Capacity by Seth Damain

I am a long-distance runner. I'm not a super athlete, but I regularly run 10-12 km in the evening at a pace of 8-10 minutes. I bought this backpack as a more convenient alternative to my CamelBak Ambush Tank and was terribly disappointed. The design of this backpack is intimidating, the "lightweight" material gives the backpack a flimsy feel that just won't shake. There is an arrow/cross symbol molded into the mouthpiece which is uncomfortable to bite. The worst injury to this backpack is definitely the straps. I am 5ft 9in, 170lbs, 43in bust. The backpack was secure when fully tightened and was steady but bounced wildly when running. Even when I buckled all 6 straps on like I didn't need oxygen, the chest straps would loosen and slowly come loose because they're made of a slippery synthetic spandex/polyester/lycra material that just can't stay in place. Look at every picture of this product in this listing, ALL chest straps are fully open. Because you couldn't tighten them even if you wanted to, and even if you wanted to, they wouldn't hold. The "tech bag" could never hope to fit into my standard (by today's standards) modest size iPhone X. To compound the injury, one of the men's chest strap buckles was sewn backwards onto the pack, forcing the strap to be worn twisted. if you need access to a ratchet strap (and boy will you need it). If you are a runner, skip this package. Don't waste your money, time, or attention on a poorly designed, poorly made, and overpriced garbage bag.
