Nathan Elite 2V Plus Pack

November 26, 2008

The belt system on these is the same. Nathan has done an exceptional job of designing to ensure fit and minimize bounce, chaffing, etc. The question for you is: do you want the zippered pocket? Personally, I prefer the Plus because of the pocket. I agree with Marit- both packs have the same belt/bottle setup. The contents of the accessory pouches may have a slight addition to the bounce but not significant. I've found that my stride has more effect on the bouncing..by changing the stride just oh so slightly can really stop the bottle bounce! Cheers

XA Pro 3D Ultra

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 November 26, 2008

I'm a fan of Salomon trail shoes and have used these shoes on 5 runs (5-12 miles) in the southern appalachians. Here is the good:
1. Well made
2. Good lateral & front end support
3. Very breathable
4. Runs true to size

The Bad:
1. Narrow toe box- got toe blisters on both feet on nearly all runs with several different socks.The shoe is properly sized.
2. The shoes have an annoying Squeak which doesn't go away.
3. With superfeet green insoles the arches of both feet hurt a bit after every run. I normally use these insoles without any problems on other running shoes.
4. Grit & dirt pass easily thru the mesh sides/top of shoe. My feet were black with dirt thru the socks even on a short 3 mile run!

I bought 2 pairs of these shoes and have since returned the unused pair as these shoes just haven't worked out for me. Hope this info helps.

Rating for this product: 4 November 24, 2008

This is a nice pack-well made and it does hold the 2 bottles pretty stable. My only beef with the pack is if you are short(i'm 5'4") like i am your arms may hit the tops of the bottles or the tops of the side accesory pouches when running...somewhat annoying but i just raise my arms slightly and keep them out away from my sides when i'm on the move. Aside from that i like the pack and would certainly recommend it for trail runners or summer day hikers going ultralight.
