If you're in the throws of training for a fall marathon right now you're probably either happy with your current hydration system...or you're endlessly shopping for one that will fit properly, feel comfortable after 10 miles and not make a noise like the the wind ripping through the high plains.
There is nothing more annoying than hydration belts that bounce, are noisey or simply don't allow easy access. ANd can anyone say "ventilation?" Hello! There is nothing more hideous than the feel of neoprene on wet skin.
I have found that The Running Warehouse has THE best selection of hydration belts anywhere - from hand-held bottles to terriric pack systems, they've got 'em all.
My favorite is the GoLite Hydro Speed for women (42.00). This pack is sized down for a woman's frame for a better fit (24"-40" waist), has back panels to allow breathability and two angled holsters for easy access. Hydro Speed holds 42 oz of liquid and even has a couple of pockets to hold your gels, keys., ID and other essentials.
I love this thing so much that I threw my old belt in the trash (bad memories).
Check out all of the hydration options The Running Warehouse offers. These guys obviously understand what we want in hydration gear. If you've had it with your old belt or hand-held, I know you're going to find something that fits your needs.
