We all know how important hydration is to performance and recovery. The Nathan Speed 2 offers a convenient and light weight option for staying hydrated is an excellent choice for those middle distance runs.
The molded plastic holsters make accessing and replacing the two 300 ml. flasks a simple task that is easily accomplished with the use of one hand. The holsters also contain silicone grips on the inside that prevents the flasks from falling out during your run, although, you may need to play around with the positioning and the tightness of your belt. In the beginning I did have some trouble with the flasks falling out. Once I figured out exactly were to wear the belt and how tight it should be that problem disappeared. Now I put it on and I don’t even know it’s there until I need it.
The elasticized waistband of this product keeps the belt firmly held in the position that you want it in. You do not need to worry about the belt shifting around or riding up on you even during your tempo runs or interval sessions.
Another nice feature of the Speed 2 is the stash pocket that can easily hold any gels, chomps or other energy source you may wish to carry with you on your runs. It is also a great place to store a key when you need to.
I would strongly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a hydration aid even if you have tried others without success. I think you will enjoy this product.
