Nathan SoftFlask 18oz is a running waist belt / flask carry (535). ~535 ml Nathan SoftFlask for vest and belt sleeves — brand-matched spare for VaporAir / Pinnacle runners who prefer Nathan flasks over HydraPak SoftFlask Speed. I'd shortlist it for nathan-ecosystem spare for VaporAir and Peak setups. The trade-off is accessory only — no strap or vest included — HydraPak SoftFlask Speed 500 is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a running waist belt / flask carry (535), not a one-product rotation.
