Nathan  Pinnacle Pro 6 L Hydration Vest

Extremely comfortable, plenty of pockets, and fits really well! The new design is pretty nice and I love the colors, the thinner cinch-straps take some getting used to - but I appreciate that they kept the pockets similar to past Pinnacle design. The material is just as soft and strong as before, so it’s quite comfortable yet I don’t have to worry about scratching or ripping the fabric while hiking/scrambling through brambles or thick vegetation. I’ve used it mountain biking, morel & shed hunting, birding, general hiking, and also threw it in my bag for a backpacking trip to use for day hikes away from camp and it was perfect!! With the water bladder full and/or the pack pretty full, you’ll have to have the chest straps pretty loosened out, but as you drink down the water it gets more comfortable/cinches back down.

I love this vest! It’s very lightweight and does not feel like I’m wearing a bulky annoying vest! It has so many pockets to hol all my things. I absolutely love this vest and can’t recommend it enough:)

Ran my first ultra marathon with this pack and was so pleased. I have struggled with finding something that didn't shift during movement. The pack never moved, yet felt light and seamless. I was happy to adjust the ties as my fuel depleted from the pouches. Would recommend to all my friends.

I've been using this vest on Sunday long runs and really enjoying it! The fit is great—snug but not restrictive, and the elastic front closure is a huge improvement over previous clip versions. I've had under arm and neck chaffing in the past but haven't had any issues with this product. It moves with me and feels much more comfortable on long runs. The only minor downside is that the water in the reservoir does slosh around a bit, even with burbing it, but that’s expected with any hydration pack. There are pockets in the front for soft flasks when you don't need the full bladder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nathan Pinnacle Pro 6L hydration vest is GORGEOUS and impresses with its perfect fit, ample storage, and smart design. The adjustable straps ensure a snug yet comfortable fit, preventing any bouncing during runs. I'm obsessed with the well-placed pockets that make it easy to access my (birthday cake) gels and my phone! The lightweight materials and mesh back provide excellent ventilation, keeping me cool and dry. This vest is practical, durable, may I say, gorgeous. Highly recommend it for any runner wanting to look and feel AMAZING!

This vest is comfortable and fits well. The fabric is soft and breathable. The chest compression straps have no stretch and can dig into your abdomen when cinched down all the way, which is uncomfortable. The connection points also tend to migrate up or down which can change the fit mid-run. The included hydration soft flasks have a rigid "spine" in them which started to bruise my ribs on a long run. The layered pockets on the back of the pack are hard to differentiate between when reaching back to stow gear.

I used the vest for long runs. It has multiple options to adjust it to your body. What I really like about it is the fact that I don't feel it when I run. I did have to spend 5 min to ensure I pull a in all the right places to ensure all is adjusted to my body. The bottles are very good too. They are flexible and easy to squeeze. The only suggestion I would have is to isolate the bottles better so they can keep lower temperature. All-in -all, I recommend this vest, you will enjoy running with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vest is perfect. I've used it for some of my longer runs and it's a great mix of having enough space for hydration and some snacks or gels, while still being lightweight. After getting used to wearing the vest my first few workouts I now barely notice it. I highly recommend it, especially if you run long distance and find it hard to fuel during your runs. I can also see it being super useful for hikes. I wear a size M-L shirt and the M vest fits me well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time using a hydration pack with bottles instead of a bladder, and I was pleasantly surprised. The bottles hold a substantial amount of water, yet the pack feels incredibly lightweight. Even on my 9-mile trail runs, it stayed securely in place without any bouncing or shifting. It’s extremely comfortable. The pack features multiple zippered pockets, providing plenty of secure storage for essentials like keys, a phone, and energy gels. I especially appreciate that, unlike my previous pack, this one didn’t cause any skin irritation—even when wearing a tank top. If I could change one thing, I would prefer slightly longer straws so I wouldn’t have to tilt my head down as much to drink, but that’s purely personal preference. Overall, I’m very happy with this pack—its comfort, stability, and storage capacity make it a fantastic choice for longer runs.

The long straws are not ideal and flap around and out of the loose stitching provided. I had to use safety pins on my race, to fasten them down making it difficult when dehydrating and filling up. Lost valuable minutes during my race. This seems like a Nathan thing with the long straws. I'm guessing you can switch them out, but it's an added cost.
