Amphipod
Full-Tilt Hydration pack Rated the "Best Water Bottle Pack of
the Year" by a panel of experts commissioned by Health Magazine---
Health Magazine
"I
have tried every possible water/fluid device in the free world...Every iteration
of a water belt I have tried. The "Full Tilt" water belt is the absolute
best product on the market. This unit holds a fluid container sideways, along
your lower back, in a very sturdy opening. The bottle is specially conformed
to fit in this spot, and pull out easily. It has a special area where you can
store small stuff (I folded a parka in case of rain in there) as well as a zippered
pocket for valuables. I used this belt for the first time a the Chicago Marathon
last week. Boy, what a treat. No bounce. Never leaked. Easy access for the bottle,
didn't feel heavy, and no cutting along my burgeoning waist line. I even ran
into a 7-11 on the course to buy some Coke. I poured out my water, ran to the
soda fountain. The opening is very wide, so it took the ice fast. I filled with
Coke, threw 2 bucks at the cashier and ran out. The top of the bottle is the
squirt type. Works great. I totally recommend this for any of you, especially
if you have been struggling with bounce and/or have not wanted to wear a belt
due to discomfort or bounce." --- USA Fit Marathon Head

"For
multiple-bottle waist belts Here was my clear winner The Amphipod
RunLite SnapFlask belt has 8-ounce bottles (more can be added) and a small pouch
that evenly dispersed the weight on an elastic waistband. The bottles are light,
and the wide belt didn't bounce." --- Seattle Times
"From
the 'HOW DID WE EVER LIVE WITHOUT THIS?' Department... There are a number of
items on the market today designed to carry your essentials on the run. (like
that handy little pocket on the inside of your running shorts. Yeah, right.)
We've tried many, but none have impressed us like this little number. The Amphipod
Micropack has become a permanent part of our running wardrobe. It's small. But
not so small that you have to cut your credit card or driver's license in half
to fit it in the pouch. As a matter of fact, you can carry several cards or
IDs with room to spare. Room for things like sunglasses, keys, gels, cash, business
cards, chapstick, eyedrops, your Metrocard. It attaches to your waistband. No
straps. No velcro through the laces. No nonsense. Just snap the stainless steel
clamp onto your waistband and off you go. No bouncing, either. It's made of
neoprene. Not plastic. Not nylon. Not a zip-top baggie. This stuff is durable,
sleek and looks nice." --- New York Runner Magazine
"Amphipod
is a new company specializing in cutting edge technology ion hydration waist
packs and handheld bottles. Instead of continuing with the same foam-molded
water bottle holster everyone has been using, Amphipod designed the revolutionary
SnapFlask hydration pack. The Amphipod RunLite 4 features four, eight ounce
bottles, a front storage pocket and the bounce-free Hybrid-Stretch belt. The
bottles are retained in a molded docking base, and are released with a light
squeezing pressure and snap back in place. The docking bases can be configured
for either vertical or horizontal placement of the bottles. The four-ounce SnapGel
modules also can be placed on the waist belt for handy access to energy gels.
All of the docking bases also attach to the shoulder straps of packs for added
versatility. All the Amphipod flasks are ergonomically designed for ease in
handling."--- UltraRunning Magazine
"Amphipod
Micropack Stash your workout essentials (ID, cash, key) in this neoprene
pouch, then slip it inside your shorts or trousers and clip it to your waistband.
The low-profile Amphipod Micropack Landsport pouch lays flat against your skin,
so just the clip part peeks out, making for a no-bounce, no-bother sporting
scenario. You can wear it front, side or back. Also nice for a night out when
you don't want to sport a wallet, pocketbook or (gasp!) the dreaded fanny pack.
Features a sunglasses clip, too. Available in several colors and additional
styles."--- Experience Magazine
"Amphipod
Full Tilt Hydration A hydration waist pack, the Amphipod features a new
"angle." It's sculpted, low-profile, 20-ounce water bottle slips sideways
into a snug and stretchy horizontal pocket in the padded waist belt. As you
run, the bottle "nests" in the contour of your lower back. Result:
no bouncing or sloshing. A wide opening on the bottle makes for easy filling
(including ice cubes). The mesh waist belt comes with ample cushioning and back
support. Two storage compartments provide room for gel packs, an MP3 player,
or cell phone. For trail running, try the special model Amphipod which includes
nine pockets for more storage space."--- Runner's World
Magazine
"For
anyone who thinks they're too cool to wear a reflective vest on a dark winter
night or carry a water bottle during a hot summer long run, I recommend the
gift of an Amphipod Xinglet and Full-Tilt Velocity waterbottle belt. I shunned
both types of products for years but have recently come to appreciate their
many benefits."--- Running Times
"Back
to the gym, stay hydrated. The Full-Tilt mesh-lined hydration waist pack comes
with a 20-ounce wide-mouth bottle that rests securely in an insulated cocoon."---

Most Amazing
Inventions Issue "The Full-Tilt Velocity bag rides comfortably across
the lumbar region of your lower back. A bungee cord keeps the 20-oz. water bottle
firmly in place. The zipper pocket is a plus."--- Time
Magazine
"Amphipod
SnapFlask 4 hydration belt A versatile and lightweight hydration system,
the SnapFlask 4 includes four 8-ounce bottles and a small pouch, providing quick
access during the run section of triathlon or a long training run. The versatility
is twofold: the option of carrying small servings of water, gel or an energy
drink all at once, and the ability to position the bottles horizontally or vertically
anywhere on the belt."--- Adventure Sports Magazine
"Let's
just say it: Amphipod makes the best trail-running hydration products, period.
Backpacks slosh and get sweaty, and most belt systems bounce, but the Full-Tilt
Velocity waist pack stays in place, whether your gait is smooth or spasmodic.
The 20-ounce bottle sits horizontally and is accessible even when you're bounding
over rough terrain."--- The Best of Adventure Gear and Trends, National
Geographic Adventure
"Amphipod
RunLite SnapFlask3 Bulky, bouncy hydration packs have gone the way of
the knee-high tube sock at least for runners. The RunLite 3, a stretchy
waist belt, sits on your hips and doesn't disrupt your rhythm. It features three
removable 8 oz bottles that can be filled with water, energy gel, or a mixture
of both. It's slim, just two inches wide, for maximum ventilation."---

Thumbs
up Review "Amphipod Xinglet Pocket So you want to run when it's
cool in the evening. Good. But your only reflective option is one of those floppy
orange highway flagger vests. Bad. Enter the Amphipod. It wraps around your
waist, then up and over your shoulders, providing a full 360 degrees of reflection.
Every inch of the stretchy, form-fitting band is reflective, and the Y-shaped
design keeps it so low cut you can forget you're wearing it. Zippered front
pocket model, big enough to hold energy gel, cell phone and keys/ID." ---

"Running
with bottles or packs used to be a pain. Not anymore, thanks to these new carrying
systems. Amphipod Hydraform Handheld bottle is ideal for the minimalist runner
who doesn't want to wear a pack. At 20 ounces, consider it a user-friendly step
up from hiding water bottles in the bushes. Perfect for shorter runs, the Hydraform's
ergonomically designed bottle and soft, adjustable hand strap minimize hand
cramping and shoulder fatigue, since you don't have to grip the bottle to keep
hold of it. Its wide mouth allows for easier cleaning, plus you can add ice
cubes on the fly." --- Runner's World Magazine

"Amphipod

and minimalist design, now has introduced a new bottle that revolutionizes the
comfort of staying hydrated. Amphipod's body contoured Full-Tilt design seamlessly
integrates with the body for bounce-free comfort and superior accessibility.
Both the light, cushioned, fully vented pack and Amphipod's 20 oz. low-profile
sculpted bottle are contoured to nest laterally in the small of the back. The
bottle design amplifies the advantages of the horizontal bottle position, effectively
eliminating sloshing, bouncing and chafing. The new Full-Tilt Velocity model

"I
have had the pleasure of testing the new multi-bottle hydration system from
Amphipod. The RunLite System consists of a snap-in design to hold bottles. These
bottles can be moved and put in several directions. The belts to hold the bottles
come in two styles, one to fit all, and three fitted sizes. The flasks have
a wide mouth and are easy to fill. Each belt also has a front storage area that
holds gels and bars. You can also purchase a gel bottle to add to the belt.
Extra pouches are available, in small (5x3x1)and large (6x4x1). I found the
large pouch held my MP3 player well and is the ONLY pouch on the market that
kept the player dry throughout my run. The bottles are also dishwasher safe.
I could find no downside with this product and will be buying more gel modules
and pouches. This is an outstanding new product and is worth trying out."

without bouncing or chafing. The larger pouch fits comfortably around your waist.
Amphipod's Micropack pouch is made of soft, fabric-coated neoprene, and comes
with a lock on clamp that grips the waistband, and a double velcro flap for
security. A removable, waterproof, liner protects items during swimming or rainy
runs. The AirFlow Lite provides more cargo room for carrying an MP3 player,
cell phone, or other large items. Two interior compartments have a zipper closure,
and Airflow fabric mesh allows ventilation between the pouch and your back to
eliminate sweaty hot spots. An adjustable elastic belt makes for a snug, no-bounce
fit, and the quick-release buckle is easy to use." --- Runner's
