Review on πŸƒ Nathan QuickStart Hydration Pack Running Vest: 4L Storage, 1.5L Bladder Included, Adjustable Straps & Phone Holder Pockets by Hector Liamsi

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Straps are the problem

This particular kit from Nathan has two problems. First, the balloon in this device is a cheaper version of the standard balloon and doesn't have a quick release buckle at the base. This type of bag is also more difficult to keep clean or dry. Second, and most importantly, the front straps are not tight. They break almost constantly. I tried different configurations (short/long front straps) and constantly had to adjust during the run. Also, I've noticed that the sloshing increases significantly as the vest loosens and the back sags. The water pack sloshes out violently. Tightening the straps and pulling the front down stops the sloshing. However, I had to lower the front end and tug on the straps every 2-3 minutes. I think tying the straps or using a safety pin is unacceptable as other reviewers have commented.

Pros
  • DESIGN - Lightweight and comfortable mesh material that wicks sweat and water. No rebound, no chafing, reflective visibility. For running, hiking, walking, horseback riding, etc.
Cons
  • Secret
