Duro 1.5L Hydration Backpack

Bladder is the perfect size,

Comfy and light for every run

Ive used this on runs between 3 and 13 miles and I love it every time. Its super light weight and hugs the body, so causes no rubbing.

I'd return it if I could because of sizing.

I'm 6'3" with a chest of about 43". According to the size guide, I should be a large. Thankfully I was able to try on a large at a local shop (they didn't have any other sizes) and I realized that it was already going to be way too big i.e., was very loose with the straps tightened all the way; I could take it off like a t-shirt. I bought a medium and I find that it too is too loose: straps are tightened nearly all the way. Definitely a downgrade from my old and tore-up Duro 1.5 that had M/L sizing, adjustable straps on the side (something that would make the new pack much better) and I am surprised by the lack of magnet for the hydration hose. All and in all, it's too loose, moves too much, gets looser as you use up the water, and the lack of magnet makes me really wonder what the designers thought the hydration hose was going to do while running.

Small?

I bought this 1 month ago and I can say confidently I am more then happy with my purchase. I believe every long distance runner should have one of these because not only do you get to drink some water in a convenient way while running, but also holds your phone while you listen to music and holds your keys if you drive somewhere.

Excellent. Fits well, nicely lightweight,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent. Fits well, nicely lightweight, and holds all that I need. I loved my old Osprey pack, and this one is just as good, if not better.

Sizing is wrong (at least for me)

I love all the features of the best, but the sizing is wrong. My chest measurement is 37/38 inches, which is right in the middle of the medium range. When I got it, I thought it was a large it was so big. All the slack pulled out and it was still a hair loose. I returned it and got a small, which was then way too small and had pressure points right at the arm hole on my chest. (Makes sense, I’m too big for the small size range.) Really wish the medium fit better. I’m going to try it for a bit to see if it will work without chaffing, but being right in the middle of the medium range, this should fit perfectly, not too large.

Vest fits great. Not a

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vest fits great. Not a fan of the bladder design - particularly the inability to detach the hose from the bladder. The bladder is also difficult to clean. Like all the pockets. Would be nice if more than one pocket had a zipper or other fastener to lock closed.

Great!
