I bought a new fanny pack that holds two water bottles. I tried it out on a run today. It worked great. Makes me wonder why I ever ran without carrying water.

What kind did you get? I really like mine.

Let me know how you like it. I really need to get one of those. My Camelbak was horrible on the Bryce run.

It's a Nathan Elite 2V Plus. I will be giving it the full test tomorrow at Logan Peak.

How much does the rear pocket hold? The one thing I love about my UD is the large rear compartment. It was absolutely perfect for our run the other day. However, I like the bottle angle on the Nathan better than the UD.
