It isn't worth your effort to lug a water bottle on a five kilometer run, but the Nike Hydration Pack is the perfect jogging accessory for those occasions when you embark on cross-country excursions of about 10km and more.
Designed by Emil Blanco, this is a clever, compact and ergonomic vest that incorporates a canteen. It has several layers of material to keep your H2O contained, doing so in a soft pouch that's optimized for comfort and the ability to contour your body.
Straps make it easy to sport the Nike Hydration Pack and tabs at both shoulders make the liquid accessible for drinking. The backpack reservoir is even accented with reflective strips so that it increases your visibility during evening roadside runs.
