Waterproof Running Vest, 5.5L Breathable Running Hydration Vest with 1.5L Wat...

In full disclosure, this was my first running vest purchase, but it’s been great so far. I’ve used it on about 6 long runs (10 mi+) and I’m pleased with its function and performance. The pockets are great for storing gels, bars, keys, etc. , plus the bungee cord on the back for a towel, if you so choose. The water bladder seems to have a thoughtful design, both preventing it from leaking and with a divider to help with the “sloshing” sound — as another reviewer mentioned, YouTube how to reduce the sloshing noise from the bladder. The nozzle itself is intuitive to use and no leaks thus far, though the tube is a bit long for my liking (could just be me, as I’m on the shorter side), but definitely not a deal breaker. It’s also lightweight and I could definitely see traveling with it easily. Overall very pleased and I would say to give it a try if you’re on the fence.

I recently retired this vest after 3 years of wear. I could have worn it for many more years. Excellent vest that brought me through my first half marathon all the way to my first 50 miler. Lots of pockets to store stuff and is easily adjustable on the go. Holds lots of fluids.

I love this vest! The bladder is easy to insert, the sides of the vest to adjust to fit my small (5' 2") frame, the pockets have ample storage, and it's lightweight/breathable. I have been training this past summer for my first ultra, and I use this vest for my long runs. There is little to no bounce, and it has not caused any chafing issues (I do wear a shirt under it). I can run with the bladder in the back, a few items in the back storage zipper pocket, my salt tabs in the front zipper pocket and either my large collapsible bottles in the large front pockets, or two smaller bottles in the small front pockets if/as needed. Either way, that leaves space for more supplies. I would buy this again.

I previously bought this running vest in teal, and it is still going strong. I decided to buy another one in white to match different running outfits, but unfortunately one side strap ripped partially off almost immediately after the first run. It still stayed together even after the run. I'm not going to return it because the water bladder makes a good backup for the one I already have. I can fix the strap on my own. 4/5 stars because I do like this particular vest in general. Pockets provide plenty of room for gels, phone, anything else I need to keep on hand, plus the bladder pocket has enough room to also hold a packet of wet wipes and a foldable jacket.

On the fence? Just buy the darn thing! I researched for HOURS and went back and forth on all the vest and belt styles. Ended up going with this since I wanted a water bladder and liked the pocket placements. I’ve now taken this hiking, horseback riding, and running. The water bladder works great, no leaking. Easy to adjust so it fits snug both on me and my husband and takes zero time to adjust between us. Love the 4 pockets in the front, great easy access for gels, nutrition bars, phone, etc. the zip is great for cards and keys. Surprisingly lightweight even full of water and you don’t feel like you’re running like a turtle - it distributes the weight well so it’s never awkward. Definitely look up a video on how to make water bladders not slosh! Makes so much difference!

After not loving any waist or handle held hydration packs, I decided to give the vests a try but didn’t want to spend a ton. I am on the petite side (5’1” and ~110lbs) and was worried about it being one size fits all, it fits perfect at pretty much the tightest setting. There is tons of storage to fit gels, phone, two 8 oz bladders (may even be able to go with bigger ones), the back bladder included, plus anything else you may need. I like that the two front clasps adjust up and down, they do slide sometimes while running but not a huge deal. I’ve had the vest about three months and the only issues I’ve had is that the mouth cap broke off, it can still be used you just have to hold it while it’s off and sometimes the rubber mouth piece pulls off, neither are deal breakers though. For the price, the fit, and features I am very satisfied with this vest. One piece of advice to avoid water bounce is to turn the bladder upside down and suck out the air through the tube before inserting it in the back. Happy running!

The bladder works really well compared to others I've tried. I get compliments on this constantly when on the trails. It's super comfortable and is the perfect size. I use it for hiking, running, and cycling. I can easily fit a change of clothes and essentials if I take out the bladder. Easy to use and very thoughtful design.

I know this is technically a running vest, however, it would be absolutely perfect for hiking. It’s lightweight durable and has a ton of pockets. As a type one diabetic, I’m always looking for quality items that have the storage capacity to include a snack or two in case of emergencies and this has plenty of room for that. It also includes a key leash, a safety whistle, so it’s got everything that I need

Ich laufe mit der Weste seit zwei Jahren, bin voll zufrieden. Nervig sind nur die hängenden Miniseile, das hätte man besser verarbeiten können. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für den Trinkbeutel
