Hand wash the vest in cold water and hang to dry out of direct sun. Rinse the bladder after every use, store it open so it dries through, and don't bite or chew the valve.
Designed for runners who demand comfort, performance and freedom. Carry your hydration, phone, nutrition and essentials without distraction — so you can focus on your next personal best.
There's a version of you at 5 a.m. who doesn't want to be there. The one who goes anyway is the one who finishes strong in month four, holds the pace on the hill that used to break them, and crosses a line they weren't sure about at the start. Consistency isn't glamorous. It's just what wins.
Eight design decisions that add up to a vest you stop thinking about somewhere in the first kilometre.
A hydration bladder with hose and bite valve comes in the box. No extra purchase, no guessing at compatibility.
A thick spacer-mesh panel sits between the load and your spine, so air moves and the weight never digs in.
Quick-release shoulder buckles and a wide waist strap pull the vest into your torso. Cinch both and it moves as one piece with you.
Shoulder straps ladder up and down, side straps cinch independently, and the waist belt runs long. One size, wide range.
Two full-width zipped compartments on the chest — one for your phone, one for wallet, keys and cards.
Elastic lacing over the front pocket holds a jacket, gloves or a shed layer without opening a single zip.
Reflective tabs across the cargo panel catch headlights on early starts and dark finishes.
A grommet in the front pocket routes an earphone cable out cleanly, so nothing snags mid-run.
Every feature that earns its place on the vest, and what it does for you at kilometre thirty.
Bungee lacing over the front pocket, reflective tabs at every anchor and D-rings for keys or a light.
Ergonomic airflow channels and thick padding keep you cool and comfortable, no matter the distance.
Hydration bladder, hose and bite valve in the box with every vest. Nothing else to buy.
Mesh runs across the back and down the sides for maximum breathability on hot, long efforts.
Distributes load across your shoulders instead of two narrow straps. No pinching, no pressure traps.
Two front zip pockets and a cargo panel to secure your phone, wallet, keys and gels.
Quick-release buckles and fully adjustable straps for the same locked-in fit every time.
Three ways to carry water and a phone. Only one of them stops mattering after the first kilometre.
The padded back panel is the difference. My old pack left a sweat stripe and pressure marks — this one sits off the spine and I don't think about it.
Took the two-pack so my training partner has one too. Bladder came with it, which I wasn't expecting at this price. Both zip pockets take a phone and a wallet easily.
Use it for hiking more than running and the bungee panel is perfect for a shell. Took a few minutes to set the straps right, then it stopped moving completely.
Yes. Every vest ships with a bladder, hose and bite valve in the box. You don't need to buy anything extra to use it on your first run.
Yes. The upper chest pocket runs the full width of the vest and takes a large phone comfortably, with a second zip pocket below it for a wallet, keys and cards.
No, once it's set. The quick-release shoulder buckles adjust on a ladder and the wide waist strap pulls the load into your torso. Tighten both and the vest moves as one piece with you.
Yes — it's arguably better suited to hiking than most running vests. The bungee cargo panel takes a shell or a mid-layer, and the padded back panel handles a full bladder over long days.
Yes. The bladder and hose mean you can drink without reaching for a bottle, and the low front profile clears your thighs in the saddle.
Yes. Shoulder straps ladder up and down, the side straps cinch independently, and the waist strap runs long. It's one size built to fit a wide range of builds.
