Nathan Speeddraw
Nathan Speeddraw. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan because I feel like it forces my hand into a weird claw to hold it. Aside from that, it's pretty solid.
I use this Nathan bottle. I like it, it doesn't get very heavy even when full. Downside is it can dribble a bit but meh, I'm already sweaty so who cares.
1) What is YOUR favorite gear to carry nutrition? Link us to it!
For runs out to 2 hours when the weather is kind I'll usually use one or two Nathan SpeedDraw Plus Flask. I prefer to carry two handhelds and alternate which side I drink from to keep things balanced. It also gives the option to carry water and something else, say Overstims Hydrixir.
2) Not into running bottle belts like me? What have you tried in the past and have stopped using?
I used to run with a NorthFace bottle belt but could never stop it bouncing. These days I use a Naked Running Band which is quite nice as it doesn't bounce and can fit quite a lot of gear. It also takes a bib which is handy for races that don't allow pins. It does have pole loops but even with the lightest poles you're going to have some bounce. I use the belt when I need my hands on technical terrain (it fits a couple of soft flasks), or need extra carrying capacity in addition to the handhelds.
I have a few pairs of shorts that incorporate storage into the band of the shorts. These Altras are my favourite.
3) I’m curious: If you’ve used a vest and a pack, which do you prefer?
I've had a few vests over the years but currently run with the Ultimate Direction SJ Ultra 3.0 or the Nathan VaporKrar 12L. The SJ Ultra is light and breathable with a heap of storage up front but is a bit small for races with lots of mandatory gear. The VaporKrar doesn't fit as much gear up front and runs a little hotter, but the back of the vest is brilliant and you could easily load it up with way more gear than you'll ever need. They're both pretty good options for lightweight vests, but if you need a bladder get the VaporKrar as it's considerably more comfortable with a bladder.
