Can be tough to put a bottle in the rear pouch with the pack onĭesigned with input from pro ultrarunner Amanda Basham, this pack is designed to carry enough water and fuel for races while keeping a small profile and breathing well during hot events like Western States.
But consider that some might not come with either and will require you to buy them separately. These are typically easier to fill trail side and quicker if you’re looking to save time at an aid station. Others have storage space for water bottles in pockets on the straps. Some of the options below can be used with a hydration bladder in the main compartment, so you can carry a couple of liters of water and sip through a bite valve and hose cinched down on the shoulder strap. It’s important to keep in mind how you prefer to carry your water, and match your pack to suit. Women should look at one of the new women-specific packs offered, which have bags and straps that better fit the female torso, as well as adjustable closures and strategically positioned pockets for all-day comfort. Adjustable straps help you tweak the fit so the pack hugs your torso and won’t move or bounce as you dash down the trail, while vented panels and lightweight fabrics stretch and allow sweat to evaporate instead of build up. And some have larger pockets capable of holding water bottles and soft flasks up front for easy access without the mess-and bounce-of a bladder.Ĭurrent packs have a sport-specific (and even gender-specific) construction to boost comfort.
In both cases, the packs will have pockets on the shoulder straps for gels, a phone, and other small items. These adventure packs typically have a sleeve for a hydration bladder, but also extra pockets to let you haul jackets, additional layers of clothing, trekking poles, and more. But when the timing is right again, you’ll need a larger pack with greater carrying capacity. The second is for more adventurous outings think high-mileage trail runs or ultramarathons that require you to bring along certain supplies (though we advise against running an ultra or a race-if you could even find one-in these days of social distancing). If you’re looking for a race-ready pack that’s nimble, or just need to carry fuel for short trail outings, this is the pack you’ll want to consider first. The first is a minimal vest that can carry water and not much more, designed to be as light as possible.
Hydration packs generally come in two flavors.
