Subject: RE: Hydration belts opinions I depend on my hydration belts since the tap water isn't drinkable in Vietnam and there are no public water fountains. Tried Camelback and found it uncomfortable; also hard to keep it from getting moldy in the tropics. I have a one-bottle belt from Nathan that I've been very happy with (it comes with a 16 oz bottle ) and a two-bottle model from REI (the Double Shot ) that holds two 16 oz bottles. I've had several Double Shots (stuff falls apart quickly in the tropics ) and have found that some years' models fit better than others. I'm a skinny woman with a small waist so "one size fits all" doesn't always work.
I also have an Osprey Talon double pack which is comfortable and holds a load of stuff in addition to two bottles--I tend to use this if I'm going to end a run at my gym to lift and/or swim, or if I'm doing a longer run on vacation and want to change clothes before taking public transport back to my hotel--it's big enough to hold some money, ID, map, cell phone, clean run top and shorts, etc. |
