Thirsty runners listen up. This new technical hydration pack minimizes abrasion at the shoulders and back by redistributing weight across the upper body; holding weight at the sternum instead of under the arms, and utilizing Velcro closures instead of skin-irritating clasps. Soft mesh construction increases airflow, while cutting-edge Boa system compresses its 1.5-liter reservoir by tightening ultralight strands with a turn of a knob.

Comments about North Face The North Face Enduro Boa Hydration Pack:
I need hydration since I go on my training long runs during weekends (3 hours). I've been using Fuel Belts ever since (for my 50K and 100K races), but decided to try the North Face Enduro Boa and the feeling of having a backpack hydration source - for my future ultra races. The hydration itself is good and convenient. What ruined my experience is the velcro and the fit. I'm a petite runner (5'7", around 135 lbs.), and the backpack was too large on me. Plus, the velcro ruined my shirt (with the constant running movement). Wish the backpack didn't use velcro. And wish they offered them in different sizes.
