I love it!
This vest is great! Running in the Florida heat is no joke and this vest has saved me! It’s very lightweight and doesn’t slosh around when I move. The pockets are great for holding fuel and my phone. Overall, I love this vest!

Great pack, use a different bladder
I love this pack. I was looking for something with secure and deep pockets; this was it. The fit is perfect and I love all the points in the chest and sides where I can adjust the tightness. My only complaint about the pack itself is that the zip chest pocket could be a little bit taller to fit phones better. My iPhone fits, but not easily! And my phone is on the smaller side. Probably my favorite feature is the small zip pocket at the bottom of the back of the pack. I can open and close it without needing to take the pack off. I love that! The bladder that came with it is not great. The twist cap can be difficult to thread just right. I prefer the folding top bladder to the cap lid bladders because the cap ones don’t really allow you to flip it over to drain/dry quickly. Moisture gets stuck in the top of the bladder. The mouth piece doesn’t flow as well as other Nathan bladders, but that’s just a matter of preference. Lastly, the connection at the bottom of the bladder and the tubing is a twist. Other Nathan bladders have the tubing snap into the bladder, which I prefer. I ended up using my older Nathan bladder in this pack even though it’s a 2 liter and the one this came with is 1.5. It works fine. The spot where the bladder connects to the pack via Velcro strap doesn’t match with my 2 liter bladder either, but that honestly works fine also. All in all, I’m very happy with this purchase. I needed more functional pockets and comfort, and that’s what I got. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the bladder issue. It’s not a big deal to me since I have spare bladders. However, I would be a bit disappointed if I didn’t have spares and had to buy a separate one.

Immedately started to fall apart
Overall it works just fine. The pockets started to give after 2 uses and the bungee that tightens one of the pockets comepletly broke on my 3rd run. Not built to last unfortunately.

great color, functional and lot of space
like the green, it does not leak, works well and has lots of pockets. I used to carry water belt, but this has worked well for my 20 mile runs and holds so much water. Love it so far. gave up the belt as it used to chaff me. you can even put a phone and has lots of slots. seems pretty good quality. Only gripe is you kind of have to really suck to get water out, but not at all negates how great this is.

Extra zippered pocket a plus
Pretty risky giving Nathan another try. Last hydration pack did not hold up very well, this one however, was much better. I loved having the extra zippered pocket which was large enough to hold some snacks. Will be using this for skiing as well.

Satisfied
This was a gift to my wife, but she seems to like it. She's training for a marathon and this pack allows her to keep nutrition and fluid for her long runs.

Not my favorite
I don’t love where the adjustable straps fall and wish the shoulder straps themselves were adjustable

Comfortable and fine.
It's really comfortable to wear. I wear it on 15+ mile runs and like the phone pocket, pouch for gels, and other things. I rides well, no rubbing or chaffing. I do find it hard to drink from. I have to suck really hard, so it makes it difficult to catch my breath and drink. Also, when I first used it, it leaked everywhere and I lost most of my water. Then I checked and the connection of the hose to the bladder wasn't inserted correctly. I tightened it and it's worked fine ever since.

Great hydro pack w/ pockets for my food & phone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect pack for trail running. The bladder works great for long runs and I love all the pockets. It’s easy to store my food and phone.

Noisy water bladder
The vest itself is great. I was worried being a smaller woman that the unisex design would not work. It fits great. The big problem with this is that the water bladder that comes with it is terrible. The sound of the water sloshing around was so very loud. I had to turn up my headphones to hear my music over the noise from the water bladder. Being a vest designed for runners, I am shocked that Nathan (the pros in hydration vests for runners) would give this bladder as part of the purchase. Even walking it was loud and annoying. Give the option to upgrade to be better bladder in the item description.
