I'm a simple guy and the fit on this newer style Summit Series vest is just off. The medium is too small and the large is too big. It's not a seamless fit like the prior version. They changed the bottle sizes so you cannot use your old flasks with this newer vest. Fortunately, I have 4 of the older versions to hold me over for the next few years...
Finally a proper running vest. The materials and design improved compared to the prior generation running vests. In the other hand, not sure how to properly fit the new trekking pole sleeve in it, hope they can provide more guidance
Have anyone tried to put the trekking pole into the sleeve while wearing this? It feels impossible. Do you have to take the vest off to put the treking pole in there by design?
I love this run vest , its very comfortable and its a complement with Pole Sleeve. It has a excellent desing.
It only has a couple of pockets and they are very small
