Hydration pack for runners

• Adjustable webbing with side buckles pulls this hydration pack for runners in at chest and waist, holding it tight so nothing bounces when you drop into a run.
• The shoulder straps curve to follow the collarbone rather than cut across it, with open mesh panels either side for air.
• Drizzle beads and runs off the water-repellent nylon shell instead of soaking into the spare layer you are carrying.
• Abrasion-resistant enough to be dragged past gorse and bramble, then squashes flat into a gear bag for the drive home.
• Reflective stripes across the lower panel, in black or blue.

Bounce-free hydration pack for runners

A run rarely gets a settled forecast, and twenty minutes of drizzle is enough to soak a plain mesh vest through to the layer underneath. This hydration pack for runners puts a water-repellent nylon shell over the load and keeps the harness open mesh, so the rain runs off while your back still gets air. The chest and waist webbing pull it in until nothing moves, which matters most on a steep descent through the bush. The body takes a bladder, a shell jacket and a day's food with both hands free, and the front bungee holds a jacket you have peeled off mid climb. The polyester lining wipes clean after a muddy weekend instead of holding the smell.
