Review on Nathan VaporAir Running Vest with 2L Hydration Bladder Reservoir for Men - Hydration Pack by Anthony Arcos

love. This. Pack. I ordered this for my longer trail runs and road runs. It worked great. I was arguing between this and the Salomon Adv Skin 12 kit and settled on this one mainly because of the price, it came with a bladder, a large bungee on the back and specific attachments for trekking poles. I've taken the vest for 4 runs now and it's been amazing. Can I say I'm carrying a backpack? Maybe the first 5 minutes or so but then I honestly forget. I don't feel like it confines me, restricts my movements, or slows me down in any way. 2 liters of ice water (plus another liter of electrolyte drink in the soft flasks I ordered) on my long runs is great. All pockets are very easy to access. I have Clif blocks in one, my phone in the other, loads of gear in the main pocket and everything else I have on my mind at night (compass, rescue blanket, power bank, first aid kit, light jacket etc. etc.) . .). ). One of my favorites is the magnetic closure for the drinking straw. I can't imagine a backpack without one. Makes it easy to keep the straw easily accessible but out of the way. I've also run it through the wash twice and it's holding up great. I only put it through the wash because the soft bottles I ordered leaked (they didn't come with the bag and weren't Nathan's bottles so not the bag's fault). The backpack came out clean and still shows no signs of wear or breakage. If you are looking for a durable backpack then this is it. i seriously love this
