The Nathan X-Ceed hydration pack is ideal for mountain bike races and ultra runners with access to feed stations for re-fills. The X-ceed carries 67 ounces of hydration and uses Nathan's X-Factor harness technology to dramatically reduce pack bounce over the competition. An easy access pouch in the front allows you to access energy gels or tools on the fly which is exceedingly well though out.

For ultra runners, you'll get several hours of hydration and energy at a time, but this pack is great for day hikes and bikes too. There is even a rear mesh pouch with shot cord to stow jackets, pumps and other gear quickly and conveniently.

Why Nathan X-Ceed Works Better Than Other Packs

Our personal favorite features are the X strap technology because it really does work to eliminate bounce when fully loaded and then the front pouch because it is so handy to access fuel or tools on the fly. It is these two features that we felt made this pack so vastly superior to the rest of the packs on the market. This is Rusty's favorite pack for racing or sub-three hour rides.

The low profile of the Nathan X-Ceed hydration pack and the padded mesh back also make this pack exceedingly comfortable along with the anatomical curvature. It really feels like the pack is part of your body.

Here is a list of features for the X-Ceed that will help you succeed (no pun):

Heart Rate Watch Company owner Rusty Squire made the podium at the National Mountain Biking Championships and he said, "I used to use Camelback packs but I really like the Nathan's far better. They bounce less and the quick access front pocket is much more convenient."
