Do not recommend this product. I purchased it for trail running/half-marathon running and tried it several times, each time with the lower stitching on the back tearing up my skin. Wearing a bra and t-shirt did not change the open sores this vest created. Also, I was unable to start using this immediately after purchase due to health reasons, so when I started to use it and noticed the sores I wanted to try and return it. Unfortunately I had just barely passed the year mark on returns and REI was not willing to provide a return on the product. Disappointed in REI as a long-standing member.
Felt stable and didn’t move around. Lots of great pockets. The bladder and nipple is slightly less quality than regular osprey systems. There are some loops and clips I haven’t figured out yet. I’m usually a 36B and went for a medium.
This running vest has been an awesome buy, it doesn't chafe ur arms as u run and it stays firmly in place. The only thing i would recommend is a zippered pocket on ur right side, so you can store items that need to stay dry, like car key fobs or cash.
I can’t believe this vest has such good reviews. I bought this two years ago for marathon training and this is my third summer with it. For the price of this vest I’ve been stuck with it but let this be a warning to you if you are a runner. Your back will be so ripped up from this vest, wearing a T-shirt, don’t even bother wearing only a sports bra even when it’s 80 degrees. My back is so badly chaffed from this vest, I am in so much pain every time I have to wear it. I finally ordered a new vest and feel bad even selling my used one to someone. If you want welts on your back, great vest for that.
LOVE this vest. Even with a full bladder it's super light-weight. Didn't rub my skin anywhere and it stayed in place.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Literally the best hydration vest out there. I use it for all my ultra marathons and all my training. 10/10
Had the old version in high school and have the new version now. Best vest. I'm slightly taller and I like that it hits only barely beneath my sports bra. No chafing, light, lots of storage.
I got this after finding that my waist belt with water bottle was not enough water for my runs. For refence I am 5ft 3in, a 38G. I bought a size large and while it was snug I did have space around the bottom. One of my issue is the front straps. I just don't think they will hold up once i get running. My other issue with the fit is how the front of the vest just seemed to stay on the sides of my chest. So all in all the women's fit does not work for a plus size runner. I switched it out for the men's Large, hopefully it works out better. Run Happy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this pack last minute for a 50k and never ran with it before the race - thankfully it was absolutely perfect. I am 5’1” and 110 lbs and the small fit my frame perfectly zero chafing even in a tank top. Easy to use, the aid station crew even helpfully filled it up for me while I ate snacks no problem! Good storage - not a ton but enough for snacks (sandwiches and gummy bears) and phone. Didn’t fly up and down while I ran even when full. Great pack.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this pack! Just right pockets & loops for carrying a phone, keys, snacks and a small first aid kit along with the 1.5 L bladder. With the bungies, I could add another layer if I needed to. I thought it might be a hair too small when I first tried it on, but it has turned out to be very comfortable. I got the medium and am 5'6", 150lb, 36B.
