Perfect for long runs

I love this model for long runs. I prefer this camelbak bubble I had a few years ago. It's much easier to clean and fairly inexpensive to replace if necessary, although with proper care this is unlikely to happen. For the little that separates your favorite liquid from a hot back, heat transfer is surprisingly low. They claim that this is an expensive fabric and I believe this is fully justified. Pockets are plentiful and easily accessible. The largest one requires you to remove your vest, but I'd still have a picnic along the way. There are no flaps on the pockets, except for those on the straps, which actually turn inside out when worn. They are ideal for gels. I stubbed my toes hard once and nearly fell on my face, and I was sure things would fall out of the loose front pockets. I turned and found that nothing had escaped. As if their tests showed that anything else was just an unnecessary weight. The landing suits me, although I would like the ride height to be regulated somehow. It's big, but I think I would have preferred it to be a bit higher at the back, and the front falls down like it's twisting forward. But that's not a really good setup choice. Movement is minimal, almost non-existent. I would love a hose clamp and swear there was one but not now. It can get lost, but if it does, it's a minor mistake. I just put the piece in a pocket to hold it back, which keeps it dirt-free as a bonus.
