HydraQuiver Vest Pack 1 - 3.0: Ideal for road and trail running, and triathlon.

Great pack. Deep-rooted pockets. This one is for courses with some support so I dont need two bottles but want to carry something. That one bottle rides very easily in the back, much easier to fill a bottle than a blatter. This one is more comfortable for me with the front buckles and pockets than the single barrel with straps under the arms. But I use that one for when I ware a front chest pack during some trail runs that behoove a runner to carry varment insurance in some form. All of the packs that carry bottles are good though. I have one of each now and each has its own place.

I appreciate the wide mouth bottle which allows easy refill at aid stations and for ice. Enough pockets for all my stuff out on the trails. Works great!

Actually suggested this design with one of your customer service rep

I have always preferred drinking from a bottle when running but never quite found the ideal way to carry bottle(s) until this pack. It is by far the most comfortable way I have carried bottled fluid. There is no bounce at all. Everything is easy to access. I either carry just the 24 ounce bottle or I add two 8-ounce bottles in the two front pouches when I want to extend my range. The storage pockets are nicely designed so that I can also carry a phone and energy gels without feeling like a lot of bulk is added. I am looking forward to many years of running with my HydraQuiver Vest Pack 1.

As a user of the original hydra quiver (single barrel) pack, I longed for more storage. Combining the single barrel with the vest pocket was perfect. I am one of those folks who is terrible at cleaning bladders and always end up with a science experiment. This pack allows me the convivence of cleaning and refilling a bottle with the storage that you get from bladder-based packs.
