CamelBak Octane XC Hydration Pack - 2L
Great Pack for Fairly Long Runs
By Jeff Chrisler
Ranked #88 - Trail Running Hydration
October 27, 2009
I used this pack for training for a marathon on trails around Colorado. I found that it:
1- Has enough capacity for between 20 and 30 miles depending on the dryness of the air and heat level (obviously the two will determine how much you drink)
2- Fit nicely once I had a few runs with it and got used to cinching it down correctly
3- Only gave me chafing when I let my shirt ride up after a few hours of running
4- Held ample gu's and gels
My only complaint would be that the side pockets are way to the side and near your back so sometimes it's hard to get something out of them while running.
