Summary: Excellent mid to long range hydration
Comment: I purchased this with the intent of doing 10 milers and half marathons in summertime Iraq, and its capacity is perfect. My aim was to have something to sip, to avoid that dry mouthed feeling, without much weight or inconvenience.
There is minimal bouncing, if the straps are adjusted well, and I hook the tube into the webbing on the opposite strap to keep it from bobbing around. The lack of a smoother way to take care of the tube is the only reason I can't give it five stars.
It rides very comfortably; I haven't had any issues with chafing, and often forget I'm wearing it (after the first 3-4 miles, once things settle down).
I wouldn't bother with a pack for shorter runs, but this won't be big enough for longer ones if you're a guzzler. I still want a full bottle of water when I finish running. Also on size, the zippered pocket is outstanding for carrying a couple of ID/credit cards and a key, plus perhaps some chapstick or other small item, but nothing much larger.
I had some sloshing issues that were taken care of when I realized extra air needed to be squeezed/sucked out before running.
In short: love it!

Summary: Hydrate
Comment: Nice! Great for a hot day for my wife when she had a hard time grabbing her water bottles on a long bike ride.

Summary: Great Fit
Comment: I love the fit of the Camelbak Charm and I have very little bounce when running, even when the bladder is empty. I regularly use it on my runs. Anything over 6 miles though and I have to fill it up at least once...especially in when running in the desert heat. This can be annoying, but I plan my runs around where I know I'll be able to refill. Unfortunately it doesn't have nearly enough storage. I put my key and cellphone in the zippered pocket and keep my gels in my shorts pockets as that's about the only things that will fit in the Charm.

Summary: great jogging pack for women
Comment: Looks nice, good size, comfortable & easy to drink out of. I run 3.5 miles every morning and I fill the pack up half way leaving room for my wallet, keys and phone.

Summary: Not impressed
Comment: This is small, so it fits nicely against my back for trail running. However, the mouthpiece leaks. This is quite annoying.
Doesn't hold much water, so only good for short trail runs. I wouldn't recommend.
