Nathan  QuickStart 3.0 6 L Hydration Vest

Despite some of the comments I read before buying, I actually think this vest is great. It's comfortable, adjustable and has so many pockets/storage options. I use it nearly every day for both biking and running, and everything is holding up well - the only notable thing so far is the lettering on the front is starting to wear off. If you are purchasing for running, do note that the water will be sloshing around - this pack holds more water than other options, so keep that in mind.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I enjoy going on hikes and this hasn’t made it a lot nicer for the longer hikes. There is no BPA or PVC in it, which is always a plus it has breathable straps, snack pockets other odd and end packets for cell phones and other things the clips are very durable and it fits nicely. I would 100% recommend using this. The only reason I gave it to Four is because I’ve only used it twice and my biggest issue is cleaning it so I lost a star for that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was very comfortable to wear while running. Does not feel heavy surprised it would feel heavy with water in it but no. Very easy to use and love it a lot

A solid concept, but the one size fits all is not very comfortable. I generally run an xl, but found this pack to slide around a lot, so I constantly had to readjust the fit. I’ve used it on three hikes, ranging from four to 13 miles. The 1.5 liter bladder functions great and is very easy to clean. The material and quality are great, but if you’re using this for an ultra race, which I had planned to do, recommend another product. If you’re doing short hikes or have a jacket under the vest, this would be a great fit. I did not use it for the ultra and have opted to return the vest for someone else where it is a better fit and match.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decent sized hydration pack and is perfect if you love going out on hikes, bike rides, and even fishing. It’s a good quality material and i noticed zero leaking throughout the few times Ive used this. Also an easy clean!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In love with this hydration pack. It is so portable and useful. The water flow is amazing. Super durable as well & I love that there is a lot of room for storage. Super easy to refill as well.

This is a good running pack a lot extra pockets to put phone, keys, gels, extra clothes section.

Great hydration pack and the only Nathan one that I have with a zipper pocket for a phone. I do not know why Nathan hydration packs rarely have a zipper pocket in the front that is large enough for a phone. It is really useful since accessing the back of the pack requires taking off the pack. I wish hydration packs had larger front pockets, side pockets with zips and more pockets in general. I have added extra pockets for holding extras like keys and other electronics. They come with velcro straps to secure onto the Nathan's shoulder straps providing extra room in the front. If Nathan sold add-on pockets, I would buy those. I fill the hydration pack with water and freeze it. It provides cooling during the hot months and does not require constant cleaning except for the mouthpiece. The ice melts and provides ice cold water through the tube. Putting the tube back onto the bladder takes some strength. If I am not careful it pops off. It would be nice to have a screw type connection instead of just a push type one. I have used this pack for over a thousand miles and, when it goes, I hope there is a similar one as a replacement...with more pockets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hydration pack is fantastic! It holds plenty of water plus extra for a day hike. The weight of the water is dispersed well too, so its not overbearing or uncomfortable to carry! It even has zipper pockets to carry the essentials: phone, snacks, TP and baggies, etc. The chest clips are great and keep it snug, so if youre wearing it shirtless or in a bra you won't notice much friction or sliding. The water reservoir is easy to clean and fill too!
