Shopper : is this a good pack for running?MIKE G : Yes. It is very lightweight and comfortable. You may forget it's there. Does not move around.MICHELLE S : Yes. We love ours for running walking and hikingShelby W : I think this pack might be a little too heavy for running. Maybe if you didn't fill the bladder up all the way, it would be okay.Catherine P : Yup! I love it! Plenty of space for gels, keys, money, phone, etc, without being too bulky. It does make the backs of your shirts get a bit pilly from the friction, but to me, that's a small price not to have to wear a belt on a long run.RHONDA J : It can be sinched down quite tightly, however it holds quite a bit of water. I use for hiking. Have not run in it.
Shopper : What makes this "for women"?Dani O : It is also specifically made for women because the shoulder straps that go across the chest area are curved. This way the straps don't go over the breasts, therefore preventing rubbing/chaffing. The straps stay to the outsiide of the breasts, MUCH more comfy then the men's cut.LAURA A : I think the size. It fits me perfectly, but I cannot imagine my husband trying to wear it.DAWN M : I have had several Camelbaks, the first one my husband purchased for me and it was not a women's model. I realized after a bit that I needed the women's version b/c it was too long and instead of hitting in the small of my back, it went a couple inchees past. I am 5'4", average torso length. If you are maybe 5'8" or have a very long torso, then men's model may be fine. I purchased a new women's model and I will only purchase female specific ones in the future as it hits in the right spot and is much more comfortable. Hope that helps!Melanie J : The size and the cut of the bag.JESSICA S : Hi! I believe primarily due to its size. I'm a small woman who usually has to get a women's specific pack - it fits me well, isn't too broad across the shoulders, and fits well into the small of my back. It's also quite adjustable. Other than that, I assume color.
