Hydration Quiver

Ultima_Morpha

Does anyone have one of these? Thoughts?

I'm not having a need to carry water on my 10 mile runs but thinking that once I kick over into longer distances that it will be necessary.

I don't even like to run with my phone so the thought of a belt or a camelback annoys me.

Might sound silly but have you thought about one of those "wine rack" bras?

I have a Fitletics 16 ounce running belt that I use. And I have a 100 ounce Camelbak that I use when I mountain bike... The Hydration Quiver does look like a neat idea....

I forgot to post the link of the product I was looking at:

I'm afraid to even ask what that is...

It's a bra that you can store liquids in to sneak Adult Drinks into places that you're not allowed to bring adult drinks into.

I have something similar to this:



It's great because there's space to store keys, and you don't have to worry about dropping it while trying to insert it back into the pouch. Just clip the drink spout onto your shirt.

I never liked backpacks or belts too much bouncing unless you get them really tight which isn't fun. I always had a cycling bottle that I carried like a football running back in the crook of my arm. Ultra runners seem to prefer the kind with a strap for your hand. Try a few things and figure out what works for you. You can also stop in to a convenience store at mile 10, carry it for a few miles and throw it away. I like small sips along the way, but if you hydrate over a 3-5 mile stint, you'd avoid carrying something for the whole run.

Oh I so desperately need one of those.
For wine of course.

I prefer handhelds. I find the backpack type hydration packs to be uncomfortable. I have this handheld one: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B00EWJJ222/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use the same camelback that nutmegoreo posted. I don't even notice it on me. I think it's a matter of getting accustomed to running with a hydration pack. I tried a few waist bottle holders but the bounce drove me to the edge of insanity.

I don't know about road runners, but ultra trail runners stash water jugs along their routes. I never have though--always worried some coyotes might pee on the jug to mark territory.

Amazed you can run 10 miles without getting dehydrated. I can't run 3 without water.

I've gone through a couple. The good ones I don't even notice. I have had a couple that the strap was right in the middle of my arm in the forward swing and would cause chaffing, unless I wore something with longer sleeves.

I have the Camelbak Hydration which is small like the picture above. I run after work at it's sometimes in the 90's. I'm old and slow so I decided to try it. Love it. I don't even really notice it.

I'm serious about the wine rack, OP. A camel back bugs you (I can't get comfy with something on my back either) and you don't want to carry something in your hand. The bra solution might work; you mentioned that you don't need water before the 10 mile mark so a 1/2 liter might be great for 15.

So that doesn't look comfortable at all. The bottle is too high up and it'll slosh around. Also a lot of harness for 500 or 750ml.

Personally I've got a TNF belt that takes two 500ml bottles or an Inov-8 Race vest. The TNF is quite deep and sits stable on the hips. The Inov-8 has two 500ml bottles against the lower rib cage that sit very comfortably. I can replace those with soft bottles if I want. The back can also take a 3litre bladder but I never need that much. In a Marathon I'll consume 2 litres but replenish the bottlesat an aid station. On training runs up to 20 miles 1 litre is all I'll take.

The key with bladders is venting the air so that it doesn't slosh around. Bottles do get that but at the hips or ribcage that's not really an issue. High on the spine I think would irritate very quickly.
