At last count, I own four handheld water bottles, a one-bottle waist pack, two different two-bottle waist packs, three CamelBak hydration packs of varying sizes and fluid capacities and a Nathan hydration vest.
In my never ending quest to find the ultimate hydration system, I was please to learn that two of the world's best ultra runners, Anton Krupicka and Scott Jurek, have teamed up with the hydration specialists at Ultimate Direction to design and manufacture two very innovative ultra running vests. These vests use state of the art cuben fiber, the darling of the ultra-light backpacking community, for it's unsurpassed strength to weight ratio.

Looks like a lady would have some discomfort where the bottles are placed in the front...

ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about purchasing the AK race vest but it seems that model is not listed on the Ultimate gear site.....i wonder if there is a problem with that model
Kevin, the AK is sold out! Try the SJ. It's only 1.5 oz heavier.
DeleteI dig. These would be way more useful than the old water bottles that I keep on my countertops in Edmonton...stagnating because they are too much of a hassle to run with.
