Based on 3 to 6 ounces over 15 to 20 mins, if I run 3 hours, that means I need 27 ounces to 72 ounces. Converting that to liters, I need 0.8 to 2.7 liters. Considering that I'm a heavy drinker (John is asking me to cut down), my current 1.5 liter Camelbak will be insufficient for runs more than 21 km. In fact, in my last 19 km and 21 km run, the Camelbak ran out of fluids.
So, I had Weigee to help me buy the following since he was buying stuff from Amazon.
Nathan Firecracker
Looks like a good price (USD 60), and I can port over my 1.5L hydration bag from my Camelbak as the Nathan Firecracker doesn't come with a hydration bag included (2x water bottles included though).
Current Camelbak
I bought it from a shop on the 3rd floor of Novena Velocity for S$90. Biggest gripe about my current Camelbak is that it bounces too much (it doesn't have a chest strap), and I can't put my handphone (which is running RunKeeper) in a convenient place. This means I have to wear another waist belt for my handphone.
One good thing about the Camelbak is that it has reflective strips in front (which is great as I run a lot at night)
