Customer feedback

Comments: The good: Fantastic outer shell material.  It dries incredibly fast as advertised and does not soak up sweat like some of the competitor's products. If that is important to you, and it should be, that's a strong selling point. The cut is excellent, and the design attractive and functional with bits of reflectivity dashed here and there.The bad: The liner. It made me incredibly sad to discover that NB dropped the ball on the design of the liner. Not only does the rolled edge chafe the inside of your leg, but the pouch is simply too small for anyone other than Lilliputian men with small packages.Overall: I'll be using these for runs shorter than, say, 9 miles, as with any distance over that the chafing becomes unbearable. Here's to hoping that the next revision will have a better liner (in NB's defense - a number of companies share this same problem).
