    I wear my camelbak about a third of the way full. I find that I have a hard time not chugging water if I wait for hydration stations then I have a small stomach ache. It's really personal preference.

    I totally agree with the responses above. I hate having anything to hold, hanging from my waist or attached to me when running. The hydration stations have always been sufficient.

    I too hate running when holding my water bottle, I find it irritating, but necessary during training in hot weather. Hydration stations will be a big plus for me when I run my half marathon next year as far as I am concerned.

    To anybody that uses a Camelbak, do they weigh very much, what are they like to run with?

    I have used all sorts and have a very low profile camelbak 1 ltr pack with a small pocket which you dont know you are wearing.

    I also have a nathan energy running vest which is the BOMB, you dont know you are wearing it, it is close to the body and full of pockets and comes with a twin bladder for water and electrolytes with a switch to change or mix both.

    I use it for marathon distance or more or very hot runs

    Ahh interesting I will take a look on the net for that vest!
