To make it easier to put a half empty soft flash back in the pocket blow it up first. Good video.

You are SPOT ON with your description of the evolution hydration technology for runners. Yes, I once owned the eight-flask Terminator Fuel Belt. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks for the information. I got a Salomon Active skin 8 vest and was wondering how to use the soft flasks. Your video was very helpful.

@Dogwalkerdave 3 жыл бұрын

My pleasure. And the tip I got from one of the viewers was to blow Air back into the flask after you drink from it so it retains its shape. It works like a charm. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is appreciated always. Cheers, Dave

Thanks for the hydration evolution history lesson from someone who lived it. Had no idea belts were so common at one point, and then the hard-to-clean backpack bladder, and now it's no-slosh flasks. I recently started running distances long enough to require hydration (since losing 2%+ body weight in sweat == dehydrated), and tried a hand-held bottle, but hated the weight and sloshing noise. So, just bought a vest with two 500ml flasks and a 2L bladder, but your vid has me second guessing using the bladder if it's going to be a huge hassle to clean it every weekend. I might just get some extra flasks (that I know won't leak!) and store 'em in the back. Thanks for the idea!

My pleasure. Thanks for watching and subscribing! I love having the soft flasks and would be hard pressed to go to a hydration bladder. If you have water sources available on your long journeys, consider buying a filter and then you can theoretically go ‘forever’ without carrying >1.5L of fluid. As one of the commenters posted, ‘blow’ them up to put them back in the pockets - makes it so much easier. thanks again for commenting! Cheers, dave

Super helpful. Tired of trying to route the tubing when tubing is too long, etc. You deserve more likes!

Crystal clear! Fair play for redoing the video Dave. I think this version is even better too. I’m not sure if I recall seeing the image inserts of the fuel belts last time, but maybe that’s just my bad memory. Yoda is definitely new ;-) Interesting to hear how the different systems have evolved. This one does seem like an ingenious solution. Excellent, informative video as always. 👍

Thanks again Dave. I couldn’t live with the other disaster. No sense doing it unless you do it to the best of your ability. Yes, the soft flasks work well. You can even just carry them in your hand or put them in a ‘Fanny pack’ type pouch in a pinch. Cheers!

@@Dogwalkerdave It wasn’t a disaster by any means. I basically just use one of those fanny packs to put my key, a tissue or two, and phone in. And a mask these days of course. Been using it since I did my first and probably last marathon over 20 years ago. Still works fine! If I got a slightly bigger one I might be able to fit one of those bottles in, which could be handy for longer runs. Keep up the great work! Channel is going from strength to strength.

Great video! How do you drink from soft flasks when you're out on a run? Do you usually pull the entire flask out to drink, or do you just raise it high enough on the pack so that your mouth can drink form the flask while the flask is still in the pocket?

@Dogwalkerdave Ай бұрын

@@jackzhu462 thank you. I do a bit of both. Sometimes just bend my neck (going uphill on a big climb) and then sometimes pull it out and guzzle it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers.

Great video, I have combatted the idea of it being tough to put a half full bottle back in is to blow it full of air to give it its shape. I often take one out to hydrate my dog on a run in her collapsible bowl, blow it back up to put it back. Problem solved.

Can you drink from these flasks (without straw extension) without removing them from the vest?

@Dogwalkerdave 4 ай бұрын

You sure can. It’s not necessarily the easiest maneuver, but once you get the hang of it, you’re good to go.
