I am a first time runner - running my first half-marathon in November. Where on earth do I find water packs small enough to fit in the loops?

Good one! You won't find any water bottles to fit the belt but you can fit packets of Gatorade in the loops. I tried and it worked. So one car key one s3 with case will fit. The phone is a tight fit.

amazon sells a fuel belt wedge clip bottle that has a hook that slides on the belt great. doesn't really go in the loops though. I think the loops are for the gel packs.

The loops are for gel packs. I haven't been able to figure out a way to carry water bottles.

It's not designed for water. It's designed for gel pack like GU. There should be enough water stations that carrying water won't be necessary. For training purposes you may want to find another method for carrying water.

for me, if I knew no rain was around, I would have plenty of room! I re wear my riding pants and or jeans tho. we re only talking clothes and toiletries here....you have other places for a dc mini tire pump, tire plugs, spare shield, glasses etc.?

You can store something like an umbrella or thin jacket through the loops. I have never used them personally, but that is what comes to mind.

I would say yes, the size is a bit much for a quick run and go but it will hold everything you need.

the water packs should be ok if you keep them out of direct sunlight and reasonably protected from damage i.e canvas day pack etc. loose under your seat or in your glove box is probably not a good idea. keep in mind if these packs get hot enough or freeze they will burst. as with any survival food stuffs keep it updated. if they are outdated don't toss them use them for rehydration of your emergency food when you cook. hope this helps. vic

Hello!You might be able to squeeze it in but it will be hard to pull it out while running.

I carry two 3.0 liter hydration packs inside the pouch and they fit well. There are exit points for both drinking straws as well. One on each side at the top of the pack. I have never went thirsty on my long hikes and even had water when there wasn't a source of water in the area I was hiking. You can't go wrong buying this pack.

A small notebook will fit, a little smaller than a standard size. A change of clothes will fit, but you will have to roll them up if you have the water bladder full. There are clips that you can hold your helmet to the outside of the pack by attaching your helmet straps to.

I had to google "Ogio Pack"...I have no experience with that brand of hydration systems. They sure look similar. Perhaps someone else can help you.

I used it for a short 10K trail running and after a few minutes in the trail I was Constantly having to stop to readjust the pack. With the two bottles full of water it becomes to heavy and loose stability while you are running. I think it is perfect for hiking, because you have plenty of room, but not for running.

I just went to a trekking store and bought a back pack shell for $10. It folds up to a baseball size and works great. You can use it on other packs as well. Te Lowepro will work OK in showers, but I didn't want to take the risk. Good luck.

Don't know about loop. Some of the responses with Schwin is it isn't as user friendly to fold. If you don't mind a larger one, I would recommend Columbia. Much simpler, more traditional size, still can fold it or take it on the metro.

I am away from home...however, i would say the 1 cup is between 4'' to 5'' across. Depends on your running waist pack. If its one of those fanny belly packs i think the bowl would stick out the top.Just a guess ti mate on my behalf....oh,,,,,i just read the posts below....they are smarter than me.

I am sorry- I don't have a kid with a mini hydration pack! I can tell you, however, when I looked at the pack online, it sure looks like it is the same stuff, only a smaller pack. Never saw any parts options for replacements that are "mini" sized so I would feel safe ordering....also, it might be a good thing to get a "Bit Bite Valve Cover" while you are at it. I know kids might be a little rough on their stuff, but if you can get them used to it, using a cover is a really nice habit.

You could put a water bottle in the top section between the two side handles. Or hang it on the side using a strap or cord (there are small loops to attach things to). But there are no external pouches big enough to hold a water bottle, only a couple filter pockets. And if you put the bottle inside, you might have to take the bag off to get to it.

There is a hard plastic loop ~1.5cm in diameter. I always carry it in a pouch/pocket, and use the loop to secure the bottle from lifting out. When it is full, the movement will eventually break the loop if you use it to carry the bottle.

You could fit all of that. Water bottles of any size fit nicely on the side pockets. I use my when I travel to and from Northern Alaska for work, and it's been quite durable. No leakage from rain or snow, and no tears or scratches yet. All zippers still work too.
