This belt is too big for skinny runners. When I tried to tighten the belt sufficiently, the buckle broke. Will not try again. I need to purchse the belt with a veldro closer, not a buckle.

The buckle on this is cheaply made. I've ordered two, and both buckles broke the first time trying to tighten the belt. Everything else about the pack is fine - plenty of storage space!

Good material, color, and design. But the waist belt didn't fit my 29" waist which I was surprised to find out. I have to return it because it doesn't work well even after I adjusted the belt.

I'm sure the holder is great but the buckle is cheaply made. One of the tabs that slips into the buckle to secure it, busted off the first time I tried it on.

I agree, doesn't bounce much, easy enough to get the bottle in and out but did anyone have the same trouble with the clip. In less than 2 miles I had broken the clip trying to adjust the pack. RRS is sending another free of charge and I'm returning this one but the weak link seems to be the buckle...

This is fantastic! I used it for the first time last night. It has minimal bounce, and is very comfortable. I usually use an Asics pak that has the bottles positioned on the side, but this is much more comfortable. The bottle is a little tricky to replace back in the pak while running, but I thi...

This bounced like crazy when I tried to put the bottle behind me, no matter how high or low I put it. I tried switching it to my belly and this eliminated the bounce entirely and was a very comfortable fit for me.

I did a lot of research and was hoping for the best. This hydration pack has not let me down. It moves around very little even when completely full. I can now run different routes than I normally run thanks to having water with me. It's great!!

I use this belt for my runs over 7 miles and it has worked very well for me. In order to tighten the belt enough to keep the bottles from bouncing, the excess straps on both sides kind of make a loop in front of me. I love the pocket which holds my cell phone and 2 gels with no problem.

I LOVE this product. i am currently training for a half-marathon, and it worked great for me. it bounced very little, stayed tight against my back through the whole run, and never twisted around my waist. the waist band adjusted nicely, and i loved having the key hook and pocket for whatever i want ...

Keeping in mind that there is no hydration system (that I've found anyway) that is both convenient to use and fill yet easy to carry, this one isn't bad. Fuel belts bounce less but who has time to refill 4 (or 6) bottles on a long run? This bottle is easy to get to and fill up and the angle allows i...

I love my running pack. I am training for a 1/2 marathon and run my neighborhood-- and it is perfect. It has a place for my gels, my face rag, regular water in the lager bottle and recovery formula in the small bottle. It's easy to get to while I run and I can open and close the bottles with my tee...

This is a clunky belt. The bottle is large and awkward. It bounces alot and i cannot get it tight enough. If it came in a smaller waist size, maybe that would work, otherwise i have my husband wear it to save me the frustration.

Hated the large water bottle and wound up throwing it out 1/2 way throw my first 5 mile run with it. The bottle kept hitting my spine causing my stride to shorten and killing my hamstrings - once I tossed the large bottle I felt like a million bucks. The pocket with key holder was good though.

Just OK. It is hard for me to get a tight enough fit to avoid bouncing - works OK with the bottle half full at the start of my run. I have to work really hard to get it snug and then it still seems bouncy and heavy on my back. Nice to have water along without having to carry it though.

I have tried others--bottles on the side and did not like. This one is working well for me and the hydration has meant an improvement in my performance. It does not interfer with motion.

Not for the minimalist. Depends what you are looking for. I haven't tried the smaller storage bottle. Don't really believe GU will pour out easier from it than from the original package itself. I felt the bottle nozzle is a bit harder to open (and if left open with a full bottle - you'll spurt so...

This water belt is awesome. Just ran a Half marathon with it and hardly notice it was there. The water bottle stays tight to your back and it doesn't bounce around. Great for the long runs.

Seems to be well made. As long as belt is pulled tight the bottle doesn't slide around your waist or bounce. The bottle doesn't leak and it stays in the holder while running. I thought it might be ackward reseating the bottle, given you have to reach behind your back but it actually works well an...

so bouncey... i had to chuck it halfway through my long run into the bushes... i found a competitor that is much better quality... try fuelbelts bottle carriers if you want a true fit and no bounce.

Love it. Doesn't flop around even while full. Well made construction.

I just got this and ran 14 miles on Sunday - I love it! I have gone thru so many water bottles and this is the only one that does not bother me while running. I also own last years model- my husband took it from me because he like it so well. So, this is the second one of these that I have purcha...
