Buy Nathan Elite 1 Plus Angled 22-Ounce Waist Pack with 5-Ounce Nutrition Flask Now
I''ve been using this pack for over a year, and I use it begrudgingly because I need water on my long runs. But I always assumed all water packs will have some sort of bounce, but My Main Gripe are the straps!!My waist size is 28, and the straps are TOOO LONG, I have so much extra strap folding over its quite ridiculous. There isn''t any way to make the extra strap flush against it. Its very annoying and it scratches my arms as I run.
To minimize Bounce if you put it higher on your back, instead of your hips, it holds more flush against your back, and doesn''t bounce as much. But I''d like to find a water pack that I can carry oh my hips instead of my lower back.
oh and the bottle it comes with leaks.I am training to run a 1/2 marathon and needed a way to carry more than a few ounces of water, some nutrition packets and keys and an ID. This is perfect. When I start out with the bottle full it moves some but not excessive. As the bottle gets emptied I don''t notice it at all. I have not used the 5 ounce bottle yet, I just carry packets of Gel in the pocket. Belt is fully adjustable from big to small and is just a bit stretchy. I look forward to many more miles with this product.

I have a medical condition and needed something to hold my medicine, so I started researching waist packs for training. I decided to get something with a water flask for training but it had to have room for my iphone as well. The small pouch is perfect for my medicine and if you remove the 5 ounce nutritional flask it''s enough room for your iphone or other phone. It does slip a little but it''s not a huge deal, considering all the stuff I was holding. It was definitley much better then holding everything in pockets or in my hands. Great for training!NFL New Orleans Saints 6oz Stainless Steel Hip Flask Save 25% off

I think this is a great bottle and was just what I was looking for at the gym: great look, large opening to easily mix a pre-workout drink, nice grip, locking tip. The only problem I had was with the tip. I unlocked it once and went to pull it up to take a drink and the entire tip yanked right out. I though it was broken but was able to put the tip back in, but now need to handle it very gingerly. When I''m working out, I''m used to just yanking up the spouts on plastic water bottles, taking a drink and mashing it back down. Never had a problem with the cheap plastic version. I was pretty surprised that this one was so sensitive. (BTW, the cap and spout on this are plastic too)MY UPDATED REVIEW: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR USE AS A DRINKING BOTTLE. This is a piece of junk! I''ve had this for less than a year and yesterdays, the entire baked-on plastic lining peeled of the inside of the body. I was left with plastic shards in my fruit drink mix. This is not only dangerous but is grounds for a lawsuit. There are now toxic pieces of lining coming off in the bottle and it is useless. I will be contacting corporate at Amazon, since they sold it to me. I have sent an email to SIGG and have not yet heard back from them. Someone will be refunding my money for this.Well, yes, it may seem silly to spend a chunk of change on a water bottle, BUT, I seriously could not find a decent water bottle, not a cheap one, nor even at the $20+ mark. This bottle is GREAT! Wide mouth lid means easy filling. Put the first screw cap on, which fits the wide mouth, and you have a narrow mouth, for guzzling or pouring. Put the second screw cap on, and now it is a sealed unit. Then comes the super cool sports top, built into the second screw cap -it has a variety of options, to click and lock open for nice long pulls of water (which flow super smooth) or unlocked open, for just a single pull of water. Or, push down, turn, and the sport top locks closed for leak-proof seal again. Very clever and well made sport top, LOVE IT! Bottle itself is lightweight, has a good feel in the hand, and does not flavor the water, at all. I did the research on this one, and it beats all the others, for what I was looking for, in a versatile, easy to clean, rugged and robust design. Worth every penny!My bike is all Matte Black and I wanted a water bottle that would look just as cool and still function. This was PERFECT! It is really functional and keeps the tough look. I have had zero problems with it and plenty of jealous people asking me where I got it.

The problem I have with this bottle is that when it''s turned upside down, it leaks out the top. The rubber seal on the cap isn''t sufficient to keep all the liquid inside, so you can forget about throwing it in your backpack unless you want everything else in there soaked.
Not your best work, Nalgene!

Flip top lid is genius, and doesn''t leak ever. I love that this fits nicely into a bike cage or auto cupholder but I don''t have to squeeze it or suck at it like a hamster to get a drink. One-hand operation is smooth and simple. I can''t recommend it highly enough.Read Best Reviews of NALGENE Tritan OTG BPA-Free Water Bottle 24 Oz Here
At first I loved these bottles. I bought 10 of them eventually because we drink lots of water and these were convenient.Then the lids started to fall apart. The flip open lid part is designed very poorly. Not long after I purchased these bottles the flippy parts started falling off. I have a bag full of broken lids and a cupboard full of bottles with no lids. We don''t use these outside the home. We use them around the house and we don''t have kids. We didn''t abuse them not even close. They are just poorly made.
I tried contacting Nalegene several times and have been ignored. I tried more than one contact and still nothing. I''ll never buy Nalgene again.

The top on this water bottle does not stay shut. If you knock it over by accident, or even just lay it on it''s side, the top pops open and all of the liquid that was once contained inside of it is now on the floor or in your bag or all over you. And even when you hold the top closed with your hand, it still leaks! Stick with the traditional screw-on top if you are thinking about getting one of these.NBA 25 Ounce / 750 ml Stainless Steel BPA Free Water Bottle Save 35% off

Buy FuelBelt Reflective Race Number Belt Now
This is one of those simple little things that you could make yourself but for $9 why bother? It''s great for any race and saves the hassle and clothing damage of all those pins.Read Best Reviews of FuelBelt Reflective Race Number Belt Here
Until I got one of these for myself I would see runners wearing these and think, "Really? Is it that hard to just pin the bib to your shirt?" But now that I''ve had this thing for almost a year and used it in over 40 races, I can''t imagine going back. It''s durable, easy to tighten and loosen and easily snaps on and off.It''s especially helpful when you''re running in unpredictable weather you don''t have to worry about deciding between pinning the bib to your jacket or your shirt. If it gets hot you just take your jacket off and your bib''s still there. Get cold, put your jacket on and pull the bib back over it. I have no improvement suggestions for this belt because it does exactly what I''m looking for the ones that hold water and lots of Gu are too elaborate this one just holds the bib.When ordering I was worried it would be to big for my daughter, she''s 10 and weights about 60 lbs, but I was able to size it down and it fits perfect. She loves it and I love it too because now I don''t have to pin her tags on her expensive shirts anymore putting holes in them!
