Gear Vest, 2L (1L Bladder, 2L total cargo): Ideal for running, biking, triathlon

This is my third OM hydration pack. I have the Hydraquiver single and double. Decided to try a bladder type. This is a very sturdy, well constructed vest. The 1Lt bladder is perfect for shorter runs in the heat. The small footprint sits snug between your shoulders and doesn't bounce or slosh. If you're a smaller person, you will have a bit of extra strapping once you tighten the straps under your arms. There are clips to hold the extra strap in place, but they do tend to rub and could probably be cut or covered with moleskin tape. The two straps across the front can be adjusted to different heights, so for women with boobs, it works well, as you can move them over or underneath the girls. More than enough storage for fuel and phone. The mouth piece doesn't leak at all, yet is easy to drink from and you can get a mouthful of water quickly.

After doing long distance running for 5 years, I could no longer stand my hydration belt. It moved as a ran, & I hated were it sat on my body. Plus, it made running bibs logistically more difficult. After trying on this hydration pack at the Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll Expo, I promptly added it to my Christmas wish list. I was so pleased to receive it from my family, & I have been loving it ever since. I no longer dread my long runs. This pack makes it easy to carry with me everything I need (or might need). You can tell it was thoughtfully designed. I have zero complaints & have been singing its praises to fellow runners.

Wanted something that holds about 32oz of water and 16oz of sport drink (w/ bottle add on), along with some snacks and my phone. This nailed it. Super easy to clean too.

Extremely comfortable when running

Overall I really like this pack. It’s secure on the back, and does not bounce up and down. The weight of the water is distributed evenly, and it feels balanced. The bottles and bladder are well made, and easy to clean. The bottles do however give the water a yucky taste, which probably means I’m drinking plastic chemicals. The bladder water tastes fine. My only other complaint is that the 2 chest straps are made out of a really slippery material, causing them to slip through the buckles and constantly loosen when I run. I remedied this by holding them in place with some rubber elastics.
