Choose a gear capacity
- Runs under 2 hours: 2 liters
- Runs 2-3 hours: 2 to 6 liters
- Runs 3-6 hours: 4 to 12 liters
- Runs over 6 hours: 6+ liters
Decide on bottles and/or reservoir
- Most vests are compatible with both bottles and reservoirs.
- Bottles are easier and faster to refill, usually holding 500 ml of water each.
- Bottles can be soft or rigid. Rigid bottles are more durable.
- Reservoirs hold more water, up to several liters.
Get the right fit
- Follow the manufacturer’s sizing guidelines.
- Choose a snug fit. (Measure your chest while wearing your sports bra.)
- Leave room for adjustment: The straps should sit in the middle of their adjustment range.
- Women-specific vests offer fits optimized for the bust and shoulders.
Which insulation do you prefer?
- Down: Ultralight, warm and packable—but won't insulate when damp and dries slowly.
- Synthetic: Insulates when damp, dries fast and often less pricey than down—though heavier and less packable.
- Wet or humid conditions or high activity? Consider water-resistant down, synthetics or down/synthetic hybrids.
How much will temperature and weather vary?
- Most insulated jackets feature water-resistant shells. Some use waterproof/breathable material—pricier but they eliminate the need for a separate rain shell.
- For high-exertion activities, look for vents in the underarm or core area to dump heat.
- Some jackets vary insulation and shell materials based by body zone to provide weather protection and breathability where needed.
Consider features:
- Hoods: Add warmth and protection; some are detachable or helmet-compatible
- 3-in-1 jackets: Combine an outer shell and midlayer that zip together, so you can wear separately or as one
- Pockets: Designed to stash gear, secure valuables and more.
