Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"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 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 liquid as a large water bottle (28oz) and it's so stable and secure, you'll barely notice it's there."

From Campmor:
"Designed for performance runners, the Catalyst is lightweight and stable enough for runs at even the most challenging pace. It carries as much water as a large water bottle with none of the bouncing waist-mounted bottles are known for. Perfect for a spectrum of runners-fitness runners, competition runners, trail runners, or even the treadmill at the gym. Features: 28 oz. reservoir with handle for easy filling. Micro fleece lined back panel and waist belt. Lightweight, low profile reservoir screw cap. 2-inch waist belt with buckle in back. Dual Tube Traps secures drinking tube to keep it within proximity. Camel Clip holds the drinking tube near your mouth by clipping onto your clothing or a strap. HydroLock controls the flow of water with just a flip of the switch. Turn on to drink, or turn off during transport. Two pockets on waist belt hold keys, ID, energy bars, etc. Reflective trim on front and rear for nighttime safety.

rated 5 of 5 stars Unisex Catalyst
Reviewed by Tracy Lightfoot, Jul 16, 2007

"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."
