Water pack recommendation

[Duckhunterbrad]

In the past I would go on runs in the summer that are 3-4 miles long and wouldn't have much need for water. I would like to start increasing that to 6-8 miles but need to find a good water pack. What all do you use for water on a longer run?

I love running with a Camelbak vest with a 1.5 liter res. Makes me drink more often than any bottle and has a pouch for my phone and small stuff. Comfort is fine. Most of my runs are the same distances as yours.

Yes, the vest is the way. Salomon are definitely the best and with the $ imo if you will use it multiple times a week like me. Be aware that sizing is important. I normally wear XL and am large in the vest of theirs I have. For a run of that length I usually do a 500ml soft flask or two. For longer, I can get up to a 3l hydrapak in mine.
