New hydration pack

So, I got my Salomon XT Skin Pro 3 hydration pack today.  I tried it on, got it fit right and wore it (sans water) while playing wiffle ball.  The results?  Perfect fit!  I won't be able to get out in it for a run, yet.  That'll have to wait for Friday's trail run!!  Then I'll give you an even more thorough review.

    1. Ak! I just noticed this in the Spam folder on my comments. I'm so sorry Alex!! Obviously I rarely check the spam folder... I wanted the 5 also, but price drove me to the 3 and I DO NOT regret it at all!! We'll eventually see how it does next Spring and Summer when I'm doing regular 20+ milers :) But I think it'll be good. My plan is to fill it with water and carry a handheld with gatorade/ Shaklee energy or even two small bottles in the little pouches on the pack with energy drink.

    1. I LOVE it! The tubing did hang down low and out so it hit my arm the whole time (I tried may things). My wife had the idea to stuff the extra tubing into the pack and that worked- until I needed a drink and had to pull it out a bit, but then it slid out the rest of the way. Then it hit me: I could pull the extra tub through the front loops that hold it in place and VOILA! problem solved :) It's an awesome pack and worth the $$!!
