Very nice fanny pack. The compression strings let you pull it tighter as you use water. So I never noticed any water sloshing even when running. Very comfortable, hardly knew I had it on. Ample storage room for a 2-4 run/hike/ride.

The only thing it is missing is a clamp to hold the water tube to your shirt for easier access. It has two tube holders on the waistbelt and you have to disconnect the hose from one of them to take a drink. Not something you probably want to be running and trying at the same time...fiddling with your waist.

But Camelbak offers little shirt clamp accesories, for like $2. It looks just like an ID badge holder. I'm going to get one and I think that will make this fanny pack complete.
