Nathan  QuickStart 3.0 6 L Hydration Vest

[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!

I tried on several options including the Salomon, REI swiftland and a couple of others. I’m 6’2” with a 40” chest. This fits neat but for me but that’s exactly what I wanted. It doesn’t bounce, holds a puffy jacket (my Mammut Broad Peak in size L), gloves, hat and a few snacks. The pack material is stretchy so you can really shove things in there. There is also an elastic webbing on the exterior to affix things on the outside. My iPhone 17 pro max fits perfectly in the zip pocket on the left chest. I’ve worn this on nearly 200miles of running to date and I love it. The key things for me that made me pick this over the Salomon were 1) the zippable pack pocket on the back the Salomon is elasticated and I was worried things would fall out 2) the clips that secure the fit. The Salomon uses a finicky elastic “string” that is hard to close with cold hand or gloves. 3) the price. I got it on sale for about $80 I think. The Salomon was $145 or something.
