Guide Review - GU Sports Access Plus Pack
Come marathon day, you want to take along just enough. The GU Access Plus Pack is just right. I have long favored the Ultimate Access Pack for its slanted bottle holder which makes it easy to grab a drink without breaking stride. This pack adds a GU energy gel flask to bring along enough energy gel for the marathon. The zippered pocket is only big enough for ID, chapstick, and a few bandaids and tissues. The only drawback is that I like to have a bungy or strap to hang a jacket or shirt from after warming up.
