Comments: I have had this pack for a year now and love it. It is comfortable, and you forget that you have it on. I also like that it doesn't have a waist strap which can be uncomfortable and chafe. For those of you who don't like the sloshing of the water on this unit here's a tip: After filling the bladder turn it over and suck the air out of the bladder through the tube. Then turn it back over and away you go...quiet as can be!

Comments: It took me a few tries to get this pack to fit right, but once I did, it is wonderful. Super light and hardly notice it except when I want a drink. The pockets are great for my mp3 player and keys. Someone did comment about the bladder noise. I didn't know what that meant until I ran with it the first time. It's not that bad and with ear buds in I don't hear it. I recommend this item. Great price.

Comments: Nice pack is comfortable enough and holds plenty. Bladder is well designed, also. My only real complaints are that it is not real easy to adjust all the various straps and, on only my third run with the pack, the triangular soft plastic/rubber part that the straps attach to broke.

Comments: I have used various systems. This is by far the best. The pack sits comfortably and snuggly on your body. Yes, the bladder makes more noise than some other systems (no idea why), but it does not bother me. I can carry a lot of stuff- jacket, minor first aid, some emergency fuel as well as my phone and a camera. Very slick system that I have recommended to everyone that has asked me. Easy to fit, and it fits great!

Comments: I have used this system for two long runs thus far. I have tried all manners of providing water for long runs, placing bottles along the route, hand-held bottles, waist band with 2 or 4 small bottles, waist band with 1 or 2 20oz. bottles and even some combinations of the forementioned. Nothing even comes close to this backpack. It is minimalist, but sufficient for longer runs. It holds 70 oz. but it isn't necessary to fill it completely (the bladder has measurement markers-nice feature). The amount can vary according to need. There is room for some gel (or other on-the-run) nutrients, a cell phone, trail pass and other small items. There is a shock cord that will hold a jacket, gloves or anything else you might shed as the day warms or dries. The only drawbacks I have noticed are the noise of the sloshing fluids (unavoidable-use an music player) and the lack of an easy on-the-fly adjustments. But once you fit it to your body there really is no need to make adjustments while running. If you're looking for a hydration system for long runs-this is one is sweet. Hardly noticeable over three hours. You will like this product.

Comments: So far this looks like a really good product. Previously I've been using a Camelback Mule - for RUNNING! That's like having bricks on your back!!!! I looked to this product due to the chattering on running blogs, and I definitely wanted a more refined pack system. I won't use the bladder, I use handheld bottles. Need a place to stuff layers as temps fluctuate during runs. I'll report back after first run....

Comments:I enjoyed using my new Nathan backpack. The only comment is that it's difficult to put back the mouth piece to the tube after draining and cleaning the bladder. It seems like I may break it. I recommended this to my running friends too.
