I was so frustrated trying to find a running vest that would fit me for my marathon. I’m a big girl. I used this vest to train for and run a marathon. It was AMAZING! The fit was great (I have the 3x-5x one. The large bladder was awesome and then I had two smaller flasks for for the front pockets for electrolyte mixes. AND still plenty of storage for snacks and whatever else I needed. I trained through an AZ summer and had plenty of room for all my hydration. I cannot recommend this enough.
If you are larger chested (DDD/F/G/H) and/or long torso this pack is well designed, comfortable, breathable, fits around the breasts well, and holds a hydration bladder. I didn't like that it only held 5L capacity, including the bladder, so I didn't have room for more of the gear I take on trail runs (first aid kit, food/snacks, jacket, etc). If you are doing shorter distances 10k and under, this may work for you. If they come out with a larger capacity size I will definitely try them out again.
