By Ranked #368 - Hydration Packs - Small April 16, 2010

Have any long distance runners here (42k and up) used this pack? Just looking for feedback regarding fit and feel. i.e. any up and down motion, rubbing, chaffing etc. Currently using the belts but am sick of abdominal pressure and constant adjustments. Does the hydroback (as it seems smaller)compare well to this? Any suggestions welcome.

Not this pack, specifically, but I have used an older model CamelBak Rocket for marathon training. It looks very simialr to this one. I really like it a lot. The weight is pretty evenly distributed and contours my back well, so it doesn't bounce very much. I've also used an older CamelBak Bandido, whichi si a hip pack...it bounces a little bit more, but has a nice suspension system that adjusts on the fly to keep the reservoir close to your body to limit bouncing. It's a little bit better in warm weather, because I get better airflow on my back.
