Following an extremely frustrating run home last thursday where my bottle flew out of my belt holster many many times so i had to stop and retrieve it and ultimately then carry it most of the 10 miles home I ordered a camelbak racebak baselayer with built in reservoir so I can do my long runs with enough hydration but sadly it is going back. as the reviews all say it's fucking tiny, so even an xl (my chest size indicates a L should be plenty) barely fits (around the chest not the belly inb4 tw2/itsbruce) before even attempting to fill the bladder. shame as I can't imagine a more secure way of running with a hydration bladder and I liked it's minimal approach. oh well.
instead I'm now looking at the salomon and nathan running vests with 1.5L bladder. leaning towards the salomon skin 3 set. anyone have any experience with it?
I'm planning on heading to the states on holiday a few weeks after the marathon and am trying to plan some trail running into things in the mornings so having something like this would be handy out there so hopefully will see more use than the 15-20 odd runs I'll be using it for in my training.
