Nathan Xtrainer Plus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an amateur endurance bicycle racer and ultra-marathoner. I was looking for a something other then my Camelbak to hold water/sport drink while running. My list of requirements was pretty simple. First, I didn't want to carry the weight of a filled back pack. Second, I wanted to be able to switch types of drinks (water/sport drink) on the go or have a quick fill up. The last item on my list was to have easy access to change my shirt. A bottle setup seemed the thing to buy. After a quick look around at the running shops in the area, I decided on the X-Trainer.

I couldn't have been more disappointed with its performance. The pack bounced when it was worn comfortably and in order to prevent the bouncing, the pack had to be worn uncomfortably tight. Even after adjusting the pack, including wearing it backwards the bottle kept ejecting itself from the pack. Which meant every so often I would have to stop and back track on the trail to pick up a bottle, including (one time) following it down a river to retrieve it.

Don't let Nathan see you coming like they saw me.

I only put this at two stars, because if you are just walking it might be what you are looking for.
