Love this vest. Perfect for a fast packing or a multi day hikes if you want to be light and fast. Love the intuitive design. My only issue is that your products need to come with an explanation of how to use the bungee cord system. It’s not intuitive and I have no idea how to properly put my poles in the side pouch. Arc’teryx when you sell bags, can you please create a video or written material on how to use all the pockets and bungees?!?!?!
The running vest is a really good size for run commuting and fast day hikes. The front pockets are organized nicely and the sinch strap on the top of the bag is nice to either quickly roll a shell under or hold other items that don't necessarily fit nicely inside the main compartment. I would've liked the bag to have attachments to carry trekking poles on the front though. There isn't really an obvious way to carry folded poles with this bag. I got a size large which aligns with most Arc'teryx clothing items but it might have been better to downsize to get a more snug fit.
On the first hike/trail run i used the backpack on the tip holder was sliced clean through by my mountaineering axe. haven’t had this issue with my other mountaineering backpacks before. Otherwise the vest/backpack thing is good
Obsessed. I use it everyday. I runcommute with it, bike with it and it’s my day bag. Fits a 13inch laptop. Love the convenience of the front pockets for everyday use.
