"Marathon training" - Review of Ultimate Direction Strider Hydration Pack - Women's

I bought this pack to wear during my long training runs, and was overall very happy with it. I did end up wishing I had bought the smaller Access pack (which does not have a storage pouch) as I rarely carried more with me than water, keys, and a gel or two. In order to make the pack feel "balanced" I had to twist the pack and wear the water bottle directly over the lumbar spine, and the pouch over a hip. The water bottle was tricky, and took some figuring out, but I ended up really liking it once I had gotten the hang of it. The pack has worn extremely well (I've had it over a year now, and used it while training for multiple events). The pack has minimal jiggle when running, the straps are comfortable and easily adjustable, and the water bottle rides very securely. I'm dropping one star because the bottle does leak sometimes.
