Welcome, Whew, I won't lie to you guys...I am tired. (To clarify, I have never lied to you guys?). Anyway, my first week of work was exhausting! But I enjoyed it, and the people are great, so I have no complaints. As I've complained to many, we recently sold my car, so now I'm a bike commuter to work again. Which adds to the exhaustion, I guess.
I use an Orange Mud vest that I've had for a few years now. The original bladder that came with it ended up breaking and having leaking issues so I replaced it with a larger one (I always seemed to finish the other bladder before my runs were over) because I thought bigger would be better. Yeah, no. Now it's too heavy to have the full bladder and I rarely have it more than 3/4 full ever.
I have a Solomon vest that I use during training run but tend to race with a Naked belt, depending on the distance between the aid stations. If they are 5-6 miles apart consistently throughout the race then I’ll go with the belt because I know I can drink two bottle in the 1-2 hours (depending on terrain) and be ok. Anything longer and I will use the vest. Love both of them.
