Trail Running

I can't stand handheld bottles. To each his own. They screw up my arm swing.

I like the Nathan Intensity and carry Kleenex, blister supplies, lip balm, phone and have a RoadID attached. The little Hammer Gel flasks fit the front pockets. I'd carry my SPOT if I was running in remote locations also, but so far that's only for riding. And a map! Blows me away how often I run into people on trails that aren't carring a map.

Hmm interesting options!
I don't really like holding things when I run so I think it would have to be a belt thing or the camelbak type option. I feel the heat so I hate the idea of something covering my back but the belt thing would annoy me if it bounced.
How warm do you get in your intensity pack SK? Do you use the same sort of thing Yellow?

Same sort of thing. Realize that I do most of my running in 15-50 degree F temps. It doesn't bounce at all since it's designed for running.

I'm not the one to ask about it being hot, but I haven't found any other method I like as well.

And it gives me a handy pocket for gloves (super light wool liner gloves at most) and arm warmers. Lots of flexibility.

Thanks for the info SK. After looking around on the internet I can't say that I have found anything else that looks like it would work for me. Need that water on the run so I guess I will be off to do some shopping.

I have been using the "hiking poles" to as I walk and run. I never thought they would make a difference but they do. They are now standard equipment for me.
