Given the USAT and WTC "safe return to racing guidelines" published recently (yes, I read them both), I'm looking at hydration/gear vests for HIM and IM distance racing (and maybe even Oly). I'd like to be fully self-sufficient, if possible; I know ultra-distance runners have been (mostly) doing this for years. Eons ago, when I was racing XTERRA, I wore a Camelbak MTB pack, but it was just too hot/heavy for longer distances. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for something light, breathable, and easy to maintain (i.e. clean)?
Brands I'm currently researching: Salomon, Osprey, Nathan, Camelbak, Ultimate Direction.
A real "ironman" would go with no fluids...
Topical post though... I've been thinking about this since March 1st when I started doing all my long runs with no fluid stops due to COVID concerns.
