4.0 out of 5 stars First run & all is good, May 28, 2011
Initially I thought this product was not going to work as had tried it on over the hips, but once the bladder is full it was clear this was not going to work. It has to be positioned on the waist & pulled in tight.
I tried it on a half training run today, & after stopping after 4-5 miles to make adjustments on the tube direction, I got on this belt really well. No chaffing or blisters. The belt does come a little slack sometimes & so could do with the velcro tapes like others do. A few adaptations shoudk sort this.
However, the capacity & ease of use was good. As I'm only 5'2" it worked really well but anybody a good few inches taller would be better suited to the backpack type of Camelbak.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great Concept, Needs Re-engineering, September 5, 2011

I've hiked at least 2 or 3 days a week on mountain trails for at least a couple of decades and often use waist or lumbar packs for shorter excursions. Prior to purchasing the Camelbak FlashFlo waist pack, I'd had very positive experiences with the excellent Camelback backpacks, which proved to be well engineered and well made.

On short hikes with the Camelbak Flashflo waistpack, a couple of problems stood out.

I solved this problem by cannibalizing another Camelbak reservoir from a backpack, taking the longer tube, and attaching it to the Flashflo reservoir. But this problem would have been easy for Camelbak to solve by simply providing a longer tube. Those who found it too long could easily have shortened it, but a taller user cannot lengthen the...

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great product!, August 23, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Camelbak FlashFlo LR 50 oz Hydration Pack (Sports)
This is an excellent way to stay hydrated! We purchased three of these for our motorcycle trip. They fit on the handle bars nicely (wearing around the waist kind of ruins the "cool" factor). No one got dehydrated! I took the bladder out of the case and it now sits in my top desk drawer at work so I get my daily water intake easier! THANKS CAMELBAK & AMAZON!!!!
