My favorite moisturizer!

Since November 2014 (now 22nd August 2015) I have tried 3 different hydration packs. my back and it was a bit harder to fill. I then tried Nathan in April 2015 because it seemed to have decent retention and good reviews. So let's get started... 1. STORAGE. Beyond expectations. The front left zippered pocket holds my Samsung Galaxy S5 with Hyperion Extended Life Battery and Bumper Case. It's a little tight, but it holds up. A NOTICE. There is a small pocket on the front of the zip pocket for storing my used gel packs or wipes. Front pocket on the right with drawstring. While he's in town, he's holding the garage remote and Huma Gel. If you're out of town, it can comfortably hold 3 or 4 gels. Back pocket. I charge this with 3 AA batteries for a headlamp, 4 or 5 gels, a driver's license, a few bucks and an extra headband. Towards the end of my run πŸƒ when the sun comes up, I can also put on a rechargeable headlamp. in 2. HYDRATION. It holds about 65 ounces of water, and when closed with minimal air, you won't hear much sloshing. The best part is that the pack is insulated so the water stays cool (I live in Texas where it gets a bit warm). FIT. The backpack is easily adjustable and each strap has webbing to hold additional straps. The single chest strap is a plus and holds up very well.4. DURABILITY. I'm a long distance runner and also sweat like a sprinkler so I waited a few months to review. This package is in very good condition. The bite valve has recently started leaking, but blowing after drinking will reduce the leak. I just ordered a replacement as I don't need the extra moisture. Another weird issue is that the hydration pouch turns yellow. I used a water tester and it came out clean. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Pros
  • Very good value for money
