It's always hard to find something that fits me, but this vest is fantastic. Fits my phone (s23+) and the snack pocket is perfect for my sunglasses if I need to store them. Haven't really used the hydration packs yet, but im sure on longer runs it'll be great. I wear while taking my dog running and it's so much better to have on to carry everything than a running belt or an arm band for the phone. To note - I'm 5'1, 105 lbs and the small is perfect.
I love this running vest. I will be using it when I run a marathon soon. I have run up to 15 miles wearing vest and was great. The 1st time I used, it gave me a rash on right shoulder because the straps were not tight enough. After I adjusted everything was fine the next run.
This is my first hydration vest, and I really love it! I do short trail runs, and I use the vest to hold my phone, dog leash, dog collar remote, and of course some water. The water "bottles" that come with the pack are really nice, too. I'm 5'5" 160lb, and medium is the right fit for me. Definitely recommend!
Wanted to switch from waist packs to a vest and this was the perfect starter vest. Super lightweight and moves with me when I run. Holds my phone, AirPods, keys, and sunglasses with room for more if needed. I’m looking forward to using this on longer runs I got a large and debated on if I wanted to size down however it fits more snug when I wear jackets so I think it ended up being the perfect size for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this vest for several 10+ mile runs. It holds everything I need to carry with no chaffing or bouncing. The straps adjust very easily. The flasks are super convenient and hold a good amount of water. I highly recommend this vest!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For long runs around town or in rural areas, this is an excellent vest! It holds just enough water and gels but doesn’t make me feel weighed down. I also appreciate the racer pack to help with cooling. However, as many others have noted, I am disappointed in the chest straps. I can’t seem to get a tight enough fit with the elastic material; I wish they were rigid cording instead. I’m 5’7”, 153lbs, 34A bra and ordered a size medium. TBH I wish I had ordered a small as I really need to cinch the straps to get a good fit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really great lightweight vest! I was looking for something to hold all my things (phone, keys, inhaler, pepper spray, etc) and this best is perfect. The material makes it so that It doesn’t chafe when I run in only a sports bra, doesn’t hold in heat, and doesn’t seem to really get stinky. The straps have a lot of wiggle room to get the fit just right. I was between sizes so I sized up to be safe and I’m glad I did. I have the straps pulled almost all the way tight in the summer but I’ll have plenty of room to loosen for a winter jacket. The extra strap material was a bit annoying, so I tied it around itself a few times and problem solved. My only (minor) issue is when the water bottles get low, sometimes the soft flask will get suctioned against the mouthpiece so I have to squeeze the water up from the bottom to get the last little bit. Overall, fantastic vest & I’m very happy with my purchase!
I am an Osprey fan but a few things here missed the mark. Prior osprey packs had a magnet system for your bladder nozzle, this one doesn't. Why did they get rid of this function? So now you can tuck it in a pocket or bungee but not nearly as useful. Also, why isn't there a lock on the nozzle? If there is any pressure on the nozzle it immediately pours out water and soaks your shirt/pack.
I can’t believe it took me so long to purchase a running vest, but I’m so glad I bought this one. I am an avid long distance runner, who has tried the hydration belt and I hated how much it bounced around when I ran. The vest moves with me and is lightweight and sleek. I love all of the pockets it has for gels, keys, phone, etc. Highly recommend to any runner or hiker.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the size and weight of this pack. Water bottles are a bit awkward to use. Great for cycling short distances.
