Podium Flow Bike Hydration Belt 21oz

This pack is absolutely awesome! I discovered very early that a hydration backpack is too high up, gets way too hot and pretty heavy. This pack goes around your waist, and I don't even realize it's there until I stop and get off the bike. The top pocket holds so much! I put my sunglasses, wallet, keys, 4 or 5 energy bars, and sunscreen bottle inside with no problems and room to spare. There are also great little mesh pockets inside to keep you organized, and a handy clip for your keys. Plus it has a great side pocket if you want to put your phone or Kleenex in it (although I'm a Puffs guy myself). Also, I can confirm that it WILL hold the bigger-sized phones (tested with iPhone 13 Max). The slanted bottle holder is so great!! I can very easily just reach back and grab the bottle with no problems whatsoever. It's pretty easy to put back too, but if you're trying to do it while riding some whoops, ya might have an issue getting it in there. (that's what she said) Unexpectedly, the water bottle that comes with this thing is fantastic!! It has an open/close valve, a self-sealing cap, PLUS a dust cover so you're not sucking on dirt and mud when you take a drink!! Honestly, I love the bottle just as much as the pack itself. My final thoughts: I can't believe such a high quality item was so affordable. I was even a bit leery at first, thinking it might be sub-standard with its lower price, but it is everything that one would expect from a more expensive item. Buy this, you won't be sorry. And, if you ARE, then you can always return it. It IS Amazon, after all!

EDIT: still loving my pack!! Unfortunately I lost the mud cap for the bottle but I saw that CamelBAK Sells replacement caps. I ended up just swapping it out for a small glass bottle just because I prefer the taste and I use this pack for long walks so not likely to break. Would love to have this pack in that beautiful red too. Amazing pack. Everything I was looking for and more. Lightweight, padded, great quality, stylish, and yet with enough space to pack important essentials. It’s very comfortable and lightweight around my waist. I really like the extra zip pocket in the front for smaller items like keys. It’s got loops on both the sides to reinforce them which just show the level of attention to detail. I take it on long strolls. Very happy with my purchase and considering purchasing the red one too.

I love this bag. It’s big enough to fit a water bottle and all the essentials and it stays put even with a run.

Needed a new dog walking belt for large phone (Galaxy S23 ultra in a folding case). This fits the bill. The front zippered pocket holds the phone and a roll of poop bags. I have a citronella spray and collapsable bowl attached to belt. A caveat - watch the size of the water bottle. You can use a large bottle but it gets in the way. The belt adjusts easily and holds the adjustment securely. Most important - this isn't bulky. I am 5'2" and didn't want to look like I was going on trekking exhibition. You can't go wrong with Camelbak.

This is a great pack. I found it comfortable and able to hold a large phone. It would be suitable for cycling and hiking. For running, I found it ok when full, but annoying when partially full. I called it 4 stars because it barely fits a phone. I don't think I could carry necessary tools, a tube, and a phone. Just a half Liter more would be an improvement.

I own a couple hydration backpacks of varying sizes which I use for longer rides. I needed something smaller. This pack has enough internal volume for a tool kit and snacks, or for a compact windbreaker. It includes a Camelback bottle, which is nice. It has a wide belt of adjustable lenght so it will fit a wide range of body sizes. I’ve a 34” waist and there plenty extra belt left. The pack is comfortable to use and it stays in place without bobbing. The angled bottle position makes it easy to access while riding, while the deep insulated pocket keeps the bottle cool and securely in place. I have longer bottles of higher capacity, and the pack carries them just as well. Just what I needed.

While this is promoted for mountain biking, I have been using it for the past 6 months for running and it works well. I like the fact that it easily holds a larger phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max) and has plenty of room for other items like keys and gels. The key clip and inner mesh pockets help keep things like keys from moving around in the bag while running. The cap on the bottle, presumably to keep dirt out while mountain biking, is also nice for trail running, beach running, and even protecting the mouth piece if you put in an outside pocket of a pack and slide it under the seat on an airplane.

I love the fit. It holds the bottle well. The both pockets fit my Pixel 3 XL phone just fine. I'm a little worried about putting keys in with my phone because there is no foam protection between the outer small pocket and the larger inner pocket. I put my phone in the inner pocket for now. Again I'm not sure I want to put tools in there with my phone but... overall I think its incredible. Excellent fit and feel. The bottle is great. I just had a great ride on my Mountain bike and this pack. I look forward to tomorrow's ride.

Ich hatte mir mehrere verschiedene Trinkgürtel zum ausprobieren bestellt und bin an diesem hängen geblieben. Ich habe diesen Gürtel gewählt, da die Zubehörtasche so groß ist, das mein Galaxy S20 dort locker reinpasst. Einen Schlüssel, Taschentücher oder was man sonst noch so braucht geht auch rein. Wichtig war auch, das man verschieden große Trinkflaschen mitnehmen kann. Die Flasche die dabei ist, ist mir persönlich zu klein und hätte nicht gemusst. Dafür hätte man den Preis etwas senken können. Ich selbst habe zwei ältere isolierte Podium Flasche von CamelBak mit 0,75l Inhalt die hier rein müssen. Ein Liter würde bestimmt auch gut gehen. Die Flasche lässt sich gut entnehmen und auch wieder reinstecken. Der umliegende Gummizug hält die Flasche auch sicher. Ich tage den Gurt auch eng, das der Gürtel mit Flasche sich nicht hin- und herbewegt oder runterzieht. Damit habe ich die besten Erfahrungen gemacht und stört auch nicht beim laufen. Ob die Taschen wasserdicht sind, habe ich noch nicht ausprobiert. Das Material vermittelt aber den Eindruck. Alles in allem ein guter Gürtel für kurze Laufdistanzen, zum Rad fahren oder zum wandern.

Really good bag, great price too. you can take the bottle out and put it back while riding, no problem at all. I tried the Evoc one and that was much more difficult, didn't come with a bottle and was £75.

I use this for mountain biking and hiking. I recently took it overseas and it was useful for carrying the stuff you take with you on short day trips. It's very light and comfortable even on long rides of several hours. I use it to carry tools, spare tube and snacks. My Sony Xperia fits in the outside zip pocket... just. The water bottle is angled just right for easy access while riding. It's actually easier to use than the bottle on the bike. The bottle is not as large as the one the bike but augments the capacity without being too weighty. I prefer the belt to a backpack while riding because it gives you more freedom of movement. The inside mesh pockets are quite small but are big enough for, say, a spare battery for a action camera. They are not big enough for a passport though. I normally ride with a cycle jersey and use the rear pockets for storage. This allows me to wear lower cost tee shirts and still have storage.

Lo recomiendo

Comfortable and doesn’t move while running, but a bit difficult to get water bottle in and out when running
