It can hold 2 sandwiches and 3 liters of water!

I am a 6 foot tall male weighing 150 pounds. The M/L size fits me well. I have a slim build and if I was any thinner it might be too baggy. Things I like: It is very easy to dial in a good fit between the small front straps and the large velcro side straps. Fits a 2 liter water reservoir well. Can comfortably carry 3+ liters of water. Things I don't like: The "GPS pockets" at the top of the shoulder straps are ineffective. My Garmin in-reach mini won't stay inside so I put it elsewhere. Sometimes the top chest strap loosens up as I'm running and I have to re-tighten it with a quick pull. Overall, I like it. With a 6 liter capacity it's large enough when doing 30K runs and hikes in the Grand Canyon.

Still Needs Improvement

The original version of this vest was the best I’ve ever tried. This one has some improvements, but also some misses as seems to be common on all REI brand products, like there was no consumer testing before putting products to market. -Overall it’s a great vest. -No bounce, even with a 1.5 or 2L bladder. -The wide bungee straps are amazing for keeping the vest secure and tight with still allowing some stretch and breathing room. -The two thin cords to secure the vest in the front is the biggest disappointment. They don’t stay tight once you start running. They loosen after 30 sounds of bounce, but they are fine for hiking. Also you can no longer attach one of the Osprey magnet clips because they are cords instead of webbing. So your blade hose is bouncing around like an elephant trunk. -They dropped the large stretch mesh pocket that wrapped around the bottom of the vest. This limits your storage significantly. You can no longer tuck in a jacket or extra flask anymore. -The front pockets are much improved. They’re much deeper without adding any bulk, and fit my iPhone 16 Pro Max with room to spare. -The 2 internal pockets in the main pouch are also much deeper. They securely hold my PLB and 10 paper towels without them jumping out like in the old version. For my long runs I stuff in either a 1.5L or 2L bladder, 12oz can, a few snack baggies and some other treats, PLB, bug face shield, paper towels, and a tiny pill case. This vest holds it all and there is no noticeable bounce. REI needs to start paying attention to the small details to make their products top of the class.

Fits women great!

I'm a woman and I love this vest! It fits nicely around the girls (mine are bigger) and holds everything I need. I love the zipper pockets and the big storage pocket in the back. I've had no chafing issues so far. I got it during the memorial day sale so it was quite a bit cheaper.

Comfortable, only negative is no guidelines for bladder. I was able to dry fit a bladder in the store but would probably have chosen a different onevhad it been filled with water

I love the adjustable bottom strap. I can tighten it for no bounce. I am a woman but found that this fit me better than the women's vests.

Exactly the running vest I was looking for

Exactly what I wanted. Runs a little big, so go a size down from your running shirt get it to fit high and tight.
