Specs:
I went on a long-ish run of 10 miles yesterday and used that opportunity to test out my Orange Mud HydraQuiver Single Barrel vest. The version I got was an older, used one I found on eBay... I think the only difference is that they've eliminated one of the zippers on the newer version.
Unfortunately, mine didn't come with a water bottle, so I bought a Camelbak Podium Big Chill bottle, which fit fine except maybe stuck up a little higher than the original bottle would have.
As far as fit, it was a little tricky. Based on /u/Jeade-en's comment about fit last week, I put it on slightly loose to start, but it was really starting to bother me on my left collar bone and under my arm, so I cinched it a little bit tighter and it was fine the rest of the run. Bounce factor was minimal after I cinched it a little tight. I really liked that there are little elastic bands to tuck the excess webbing in.
This is a really nice vest! It's a little awkward getting used to pulling the bottle out of the back while you're running, and even more awkward putting it back. It took a few tries to understand the bottle was in the pocket and that it wasn't going to drop on the ground when I let go, but I think I got the hang of it. The Camelbak bottle I got was nice... none of that weird bite and suck valve crap. Just twist the top a bit to open it and squirt a mouthful of Gatorade and you're good. Easy. It didn't leak at all.
I really like the zip pocket on the back, but it is unreachable without taking the pack off unless you are a contortionist. Unfortunately, my phone was too big for the shoulder pockets so it had to go back there. Shoulder pockets seemed a little small, but I'm sure I can use them for something, like maybe delicious Slim Jims.
I was wearing a t-shirt with this and I'm really not sure I'd be able to wear a singlet. I'll probably test that on a shorter run. The straps, while not terrible, are not "silky smooth" like the web site describes. They're typical webbing, so they'll chafe if not secured properly.
Overall, I'm really happy. I got it for a good price and I'll definitely get some use out of this in the warmer summer months when I am drinking a lot.
If you are ok not getting a peloton brand bottle, I highly recommend the camelbak podium big chill bottle. 25 oz and insulated. Pretty sure I've even seen some instructors using this bottle (CDE).
