Amazon.com Product Description
The FlashFlo hydration waist pack supplies as much water as a two-bottle fanny pack, making it a great accessory for runners and walkers on the go. The pack is built around a 1.3-liter Omega reservoir with a drinking tube that pins to your shirt, so you can grab a quick sip whenever you need a boost. Joggers will also dig the external zip pocket, which stores such items as keys, wallets, and other valuables. Thanks to the secure outer pocket--which holds a CD player, MP3 player, or iPod--you can listen to your favorite tunes while you jog. Other details include a breathable mesh waist belt that fits comfortably around your midsection--a must for hot days--and reflective striping that helps increase your visibility in low-light conditions. Stable, cozy, and large enough to accommodate a one- to two-hour run, the FlashFlo is backed by a two-year warranty (with a lifetime warranty on the Omega reservoir). About CamelBak
CamelBak is the originator and world leader in hands-free hydration systems. The first CamelBak products proved to be very popular among mountain bikers and motocross riders, because it allowed them to drink without taking their hands off of the handlebars in technical terrain. The product began to cross over into other sports when scientific studies showed athletes drank more fluids and performed better when they wore a CamelBak. Since then, athletes from an ever-growing list of sports and activities use CamelBak hydration systems for their convenience and performance benefits. In addition to cycling, CamelBak has Hands-Free Hydration systems for hiking, running, snowboarding and skiing. CamelBak's state-of-the-art packs and hydration systems have benefited athletes, outdoorsmen, and soldiers around the world. While CamelBak has grown tremendously since the early days, one thing hasn't changed: CamelBak still believes in the performance advantage that proper hydration delivers for just about any activity. The privately-held company is headquartered in Petaluma, California.

 Exactly what I was looking for!! November 3, 2008
I am a beginner run/walker and was getting to distances for which I did not want to carry a water bottle all the time - I wanted a little more freedom for my upper body - so I began searching for other ways to tote my invaluable water supply. This camelbak has a wide mouth opening (very convenient for adding ice), it does not leak, is very lightweight, does not interfere with my arms (like some of the waist belt water bottles) and I have gotten to where I don't even realize it's there. I have also used it for trips to museums, and plan to use it if and when we go to amuzement parks, hiking, or any long walking adventures. I VERY HIGHLY recommend.
 bulky, not great for running October 24, 2008
Too big to use for running as a female, I returned it. Maybe better for hiking, biking as it wouldn't be such an awkward weight.
Very nice October 12, 2008
can't go wrong with camelbak. This gets the weight off your shoulders and keeps the center of gravity low
 Cool, Useful Product September 9, 2008
Got a $10 deal on the pink color. Oh, hush!
Some black fabric paint and an hour later and now it's a little more masculine.
Great for long runs July 6, 2008
I bought this pack for long runs and have been quite happy with it. It is easy to fill with water and ice and provides enough water for two hour run without refilling. The insulation keeps the water cold for the whole run and it is refreshing to have the cool pack on your lower back during hot runs. It is incredibly easy to drink from while running and you don't take in any air.
The biggest issue is keeping it tight so it doesn't bounce. I've found that the trick is to tighten the waist strap first (I wear it across my pelvic bone over my shorts), knot the waste straps (they tend to slip if you don't) and then tighten the cinch straps on the sides. If it is completely full, it may still bounce a little, but a few sips in and it won't (motivation to drink early). The key though is to keep the cinch straps tight; otherwise, it will drive you crazy. The cinch straps are easy to tighten while running, so I just snug them up after each drink. I had planned to just wear it on hot days since I thought it might be uncomfortable, but I wear it on all my long runs (150 miles in the last 10 days) and have been recommending it to everyone I run with.
