Comments about Nathan Intensity Race Hydration Vest - Women's - 70 oz.:

I am training for a marathon and I needed a way to hydrate on long runs. I have tried waist packs/bottles, but as a 5'5" 120lb. female, it would always ride up my hips was never stable-I returned the waist pack. I then used a camelbak hydrobak 1.5L but it was never stable on my back and bounced around-it was uncomfortable and caused my shoulders to ache. Enter the Nathan vest: EXCELLENT 3-way adjustable stability (I can see this pack fitting a lot of different body types), I don't have to cinch it down so tightly that I feel like I can't breathe, and more than enough room for anything I will ever carry. Load is evenly distributed (no more neck/shoulder aches). CONS: There is no compression in the top half, so when the bladder is half full it jostles inside the pack--I had to use an elastic strap around the top to keep the bladder from moving. Also, the camel bak bite valve is easier to use...you have to pull this one in and out to use it, and air gets into the tube/bladder easily--which leads to sloshing. Overall though, I would buy this again...mainly for the way it fits.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Nathan Intensity Race Hydration Vest - Women's - 70 oz.:

I've been running long distance events consistently for the past 5 years. One of the most annoying aspects of long distance running for me has been hydration. Do you stash? Do you carry? Do you wear a belt? Stashing water enroute takes time. Carrying it gets annoying. And frankly, fuel belts and camelback waistpacks give me an upset stomach.

My husband bought me this for Christmas. I have worn it for ever run over an hour since. The 2-Liter water pack holds plenty of water. Plus, the extremely convenient front compartments are perfect for easy to grab GU and my iPhone (tunes and safety all in one!). The back pouch is small, but I can fit my sunglasses for days when I start before dawn plus things like some kleenex, additional gu, $, etc.

My biggest concern was whether or not it would bounce when I ran. It does not. It fits perfectly. No rubbing, no chafing and no bouncing. The only minor annoyance is the sound of water sloshing in the bladder. But I can live with that!
