Camelbak Fairfax 1.5 Liter Pack

Comments about Camelbak Fairfax 50 ounce Hydration:

This is a great product that does not bounce around once adjusted. Keeps you focused on running instead of trying to get the water bottle back in the holder! I have not had issues with the bite valve dripping or flopping around during the run either. Hardly even notice it is there even when full. Simple to fill and empty after a run.

I've always used water bottle belts, so this was my first purchase of a backpack model. The 50 oz. was enough for me to do a trail training run of 2.5 hrs over very hilly terrain in hot conditions. That is just what I was looking for. The pack is quite comfortable on the back but the shoulder straps are very uncomfortable if they touch the skin, so I can't go shirtless or even wear a singlet while using the Camelback. I've heard this is true of most water backpacks, so it's not a problem of just this model. The straps ought to be provided with "add-on" softer padding for summer usage. The storage is right-sized for a few energy snacks, keys, and other essential items for long runs.

Backpack styles are more popular than ever for the hands free, no waist-bouncing crowd that needs fluids. Advantage is the 50oz carrying power vs. small bottles. Camelbak is known for these type of packs!

Now I can run home from work and carry my wallet, phone and keys in this lightweight and comfortable back pack. Plus I have my fuel - Accelerade at the ready, awesome!

I'm training for a half-marathon and needed something to help hydrate on my longer runs. It's very hot and humid now where I live. I had heard/read negative remarks about fuel belts bouncing and difficulty getting bottles back in their holders. Also, I didn't think I wanted the kind that staps to your hand. So I decided to get this camelback a try and was not disappointed.

It holds my keys, cell phone, and gu nicely. It holds what I think is the right amount of water for what I'm training for. Once adjusted properly it stays in place and does not bounce. I actually don't even notice it's there after a while.

The only suggestion I have is that it would be nice to have something to hold the bite valve in place like the Nathan pack does. The first two times I used it the bite valve kind of bounced around. On the third and subsequent runs I noticed it no longer bounced around as much as it was broken in and hung where I wanted it to.
