Why We Like The Nathan Vapor Air 3.0 7L Hydration Pack
The Nathan Vapor Air 3.0 7L Hydration Pack is the next-generation update to this award-winning series. This vest rides high and tight for a snug runner fit with a Contoured Chimney back panel and moisture-wicking air mesh on the back and shoulder straps to keep us cooler and drier as we run hotter and hotter. At the same time, Nathan's Adaptive-Fit Adjustable Sizing System accommodates most body types, including expanded 1XL-3XL sizes. The Vapor Air comes with a 2L bladder and plenty of storage options for our valuables, devices, and snacks.

Great vest with a sizing issue
The choice of VaporAir 3.0 was straightforward after years of using the two previous generations for most of my long runs. The 3.0 is an excellent vest with some improvements over its predecessors, but you should pay special attention to the sizing chart. At 1.83m/83kg (6"/185lbs), I have always used the L-XXL, but with the 3.0, I surprisingly should have chosen the XS-M, sizes I haven't met since primary school.

Great for 20 mile self-supported runs
Great for ultra training and self-supported long runs between 20 - 25 miles without access to running water.

Good Fit and Ample pockets
I decided to replace my Nathan hydration vest that I purchased in 2013 with the VaporAir 3.0 7 liter vest and I have made several 18 plus mile training runs with it. It is much better than my old Nathan vest and worth the purchase. Fit, carrying capacity and color of course, are perfect for my trail running in Montana.

Nice pack even for non-runners!
I’m not a runner (any longer..too many miles too hard when younger, get injuries too easily now). I use this pack for mountain biking. My bike has barely enough room so one small water bottle. This pack allows me to carry plenty of fluids, has nice pockets for energy gels and bars or whatever food I need, plus the zippered cargo pocket on the back can hold my tools, frame pump and emergency clothing if the weather turns foul. My main reason for getting the pack was to be able to carry bear spray on my person. Living in Alaska means I can see a bear even when riding somewhat urban bike trails. I’ve always carried bear spray in a handlebar mounted feed bag, but it’s easy to get separated from my bike when startled by a seeming aggressive bear. The pockets on the shoulder straps easily hold a can of bear spray. It serves exactly the purpose for which I bought it.

Exceeded all expectations
Worth every cent. Had no issues with chaffing on my long runs and love all the storage it has.

Excellent Fit & Functionality
This is an upgrade to a Nathan pack that I have had for 10 years. Much improved fit & functionality. The many adjustments make it perfect for a snug fit for running.

Great best for larger runners
I was looking for a good vest that would carry enough water and most importantly be big enough. The VaporAir hit all of the requirements and is super comfortable while running. The only time I notice it is when I need some water or gels. The magnet on the drinking hose is probably one of the best features aside from all of the storage. It is super convenient and not an in the way clip or fabric loop. Highly recommend this pack for runners with larger chests. I am about 53” inch around and loops have tons of room to spare.

100 mile finish
I bought this for my first 100 mile race, and it was near perfect..it held bottles in the front pockets almost perfectly..this is my new fav in my line up of packs..I love it..it got me through all 100 miles of my race without any hiccups at all..it was perfect..thank you Nathan..the only thing that I thought would be a nice addition is to have a bottle loop in the top pocket to kind of help hold it closer to the pocket so I didn’t have to shove the bottle in the pocket as far

Great Pack
Great pack! Lots of pockets and adjustments. Love the magnetic clip for the water line. The only reason it’s 4 and not 5 stars is that I’m petite and ordered the XS-M, but wish it got a little tighter.

Great long distance hydration vest
Love this vest. Ample water storage for running a 50K in the heat and at elevation. The front pockets are intuitive and easy to use.
