"The CamelBak Catalyst Hydration Pack is the perfect companion for your next run, be it on trail or road. The Catalyst is super-low profile, and the exterior reservoir cap makes it fast and easy to fill. Thanks to a wicking Velvetex waist and side mounted buckle, the Catalyst is comfortable to wear next to bare skin when things heat up, and the shirt comes off. The Catalyst holds as much as a large water bottle (28oz) and is stable and secure enough you'll barely notice it's there at all."

"Comfortable, but harder to clean than fuel belt bottles. Limits your ability to carry several fluids (like water and gatorade) at once. Easy to drink from, but tricky to fill. Two small pockets on the belt are perfect for a gel/etc. , keys or a small cell phone."
