    It'll be interesting to see how we like it! I was thinking today that I'd like to hook a tube up to the little bottle on my waist hydration pack, just like a camelbak but it's not on my back heating me up. It's a bit of a pain to pull the bottles out of the holder when I'm running. A clip on my shoulder and a straw close to my mouth would be cool!

    When I started running I tried using a waist pack CamelBak with it clipped up near my shoulder. I didn't like the way the tube would slap against me while I ran. Now I run with a bottle pack that sits in the small of my back. I don't feel it sloshing around and I've gotten very good at pulling out the bottle and putting it back.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I biked and ran with the waistpack Camelbak for a long time and found that that was okay for a little while, but anything over 2-3 hours and I preferred something else. On the bike, especially riding aero, it gave me cramps in mah belly and I'd have to stop, take it off, stretch, and keep going. The camelbak backpack style (or aero bottle) doesn't have the same problem, but I do have the "where the heck do I put the hose?" problem.
