Haven't tried it, though I may. I expressed my giddiness over my new pack too soon. I put it on this morning before I went out for my 17-miler, and within 5 minutes my entire back was soaked with Gatorade. The damn thing leaks! I was peeeeissed. So I ended up doing my run with my stinking Fuel Belt again.
The problem with Nathan stuff is that it's impossible to find in stores, and I'm not going to buy anything online, I don't want the hassle of having to mail it back if it doesn't work for me.
Steelblue- there really isn't an option for hydration that won't bug you somehow. The belts can be a pain because they can come undone or the bottles can fall off. And a couple of times I've gotten it too tight, and it cuts down the blood to your legs. Plus it's a pain to break stride to get the bottle back in the strap.
The only experience I've had with ones worn on the back is that they can LEAK!
