In this video I review the Osprey Duro 6 Hydration Vest (amzn.to/3GXBtqf). I have used this vest for over 6 months and over 20 runs and, overall, I love it.
For years I wished for a pack THAT DOESN'T BOUNCE or move around while I'm hiking and running. It was so distracting and irritating when a pack rubbed a burn into my skin or threw me off balance while I was on the move. The Duro 6 solved those problems. With its highly-bioengineered, adjustable design, I can get a snug fit. This minimizes movement, even when the pack is stuffed with ~2 kg of items.
Another thing I was looking for in a running pack was storage space and pockets to organize my stuff. The pack has plenty of easy-to-access pockets on the front straps. This is where I put my phone and snacks. On the back of pack there is a large compression sleeve where I put larger items like jackets so I can reach them without taking the vest off. There is also the main zipper compartment on the back where I put sandwiches, fruits, clothes, and anything I don't need immediately while moving. Finally, a smaller zipper compartment on the back allows me to store smaller items like flashlights, cellphones, etc. Overall, this pack meets my storage and organization needs!
Moving onto the hydration bag. There are some things I didn't notice about the hydration bag and tube before I bought them. For instance, the hydration bag has some little fins on the inside that partially separate the water into sub compartments within the bag (if that's confusing, go to 2:50 in the video). The fins prevent the water from sloshing back and forth in the bag. That significantly decreases forces that would otherwise cause the whole pack to shift back and forth while running. What a great design! As far as the hydration tube, it's nice that there's a magnet it clips to at the front of the pack to keep the tube in easy reach for drinking.
Regarding my complaints about the bag, I don't have too many. If I had to nit-pick I would say that the magnet for the hydration tube could be slightly easier to reach since it's under the front strap. This would decrease some minor fumbling with the tube I've experienced. Another complaint is that the small movements of the bag can still cause chafing if my skin is directly contacting the pack. I don't think this is a significant problem as most people will wear a shirt underneath the pack. Nevertheless, it probably won't work for those who want to wear it without a shirt.
In the end, I find the Duro 6 very practical and high-performing for when I need to pack for 3-6 hour hikes and/or runs.
