Camelbak certainly understand what its customers want and it isn't afraid to go out of its way to make sure thy have it. The Ultra and Marathon are some of the finest hydration packs around and you'll notice the quality when you use them. The Marathoner is designed for prolonged use during outdoors activity. It's hydration system gives you water for as long as you're going to need outdoors. In contrast, the Ultra provides better ventilation overall that the Marathoner. It's an excellent choice for someone who might need some more comfort while cycling or running. Buy it if you absolutely need comfort while exercising. Blue

It would have been easy to try to copy what the likes of Salomon and UD have done and attempt to go all minimal’. That isn’t Camelbak and I respect and applaud them for that – they’re clearly opting for a certain segment of the market with this pack and focused on what they know they do well.Posted 4 June 2014 by Dan - Read full review

The CamelBak Marathoner vest functions better then any hydration pack we have tested. As soon as theses vest are available to the public don’t waste anytime, sprint to your nearest CamelBak dealer and pick one up, before you know it you’ll be out running marathons while praising CamelBak and staying hydrated at the same time.Posted 12 October 2011 by Mike Hardaker - Read full review
