Product Review: The Orange Mud HydraQuiver

For runners, staying hydrated during a long race is key. But where, oh where, to stash that water bottle – that is the question! Fortunately, we’ve got the answer: The Orange Mud HydraQuiver (cost: $84.95).  This is definitely the top of the line when it comes to running packs.  

Unlike other runners’ hydration packs that bounce around and slosh (leaving you feeling unbalanced and uncomfortable), the HydraQuiver is a sleek pack that offers quick access to hydration and elastic zipper pulls for silent running. Its primary unique feature is that it attaches a water bottle to your back right between shoulder blades (similar to a backpack), something you won’t find from other brands.

Each tiny, lightweight pack is loaded with features. High positioning allows runners to easily reach hydration behind their backs without straining their arms, and bottom-loading stretch mesh pockets are ideal for stashing other necessities like refueling snacks, an mp3 player or mobile phone.

A thick, foam padding and big air channels provide ample support and maximum breathability, while the water bottle holder with a wide funnel opening has perfect retention. No need to worry about the HydraQuiver pack causing chafing or discomfort around the shoulders or armpits either – super soft shoulder strap webbing and a very lightweight feel solves those potential problems!

The made-in-the-USA packs each come with a 24 oz reusable, BPA free water bottle that can be thrown in the dishwasher and carried again and again. Need more than 24 oz of water? A HydraQuiver Double Barrel (cost: $119.95) is another option available and includes two bottles.

For safety purposes, the reflective HydraQuiver logo rides high on the pack, ensuring maximum visibility for those who like to run at night. The Orange Mud HydraQuiver fits both women and men, and comes in an array of colors to fit your personal style. The complete product line is available to shop at orangemud.com.
