VaporHowe 4L 2.0 Hydration Vest

You've put in endless hours and countless miles of training, and now it's finally time for the main event. When you step to the line of your next ultra-race you'll be glad you've got the Nathan VaporHowe 4L 2.0 Hydration Vest along for the ride, keeping you hydrated and well prepared for anything the race throws your way.

Two 20oz flasks come equipped with the vest, and feature extended tubes to help you drink easily without having to remove them from their pockets. You've also got the option to bring along a 1.5L reservoir of your own in the back compartment for runs when you'll be far from an aid station for long stretches.

VaporHowe 2.0 4 Liter Women’s Race Vest

I recommend this hydration vest. I was worried about the size, but I measured according to the size chart and it fits perfectly. The larger water bottles (20 ounces) are really great. I use it almost everyday in all seasons for running.

VaporHowe 2.0 4 Liter Women Vest

Was hesitant at first since running with anything other than a lightweight shirt makes me feel suffocated BUT this was super super lightweight and I did not have a problem with getting used to it. For my first run, I ran 7 miles through a hilly area and surprisingly the two flasks were more than enough water. I seriously thought they wouldn’t be enough. Also ran a 10k and barely finished one flask. Although I’m planning on purchasing a bladder in the future, I am in no rush since these two flasks hold a good amount of water for the runs I am tackling at the moment.

Perfect for summer long runs!

I bought this early this summer after signing up for my first marathon. I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to manage the necessary long runs in hot & humid FL summer with my go-to Nathan handhelds. I’m incredibly impressed with the Vaporhowe 2.0. It is very comfortable, with no chafing or rubbing. I’ll sometimes even wear it for shorter runs without the flasks, just because it’s the easiest way to carry my phone, keys, and fuel. I was worried about sloshing, but I have had no problems in that regard. When they are totally full at the beginning of the run, they sometimes don’t sit totally right. However, that goes away after a few sips. I’m a B cup, so I can’t speak to how comfortable it might be for someone with a larger chest. But for me, it’s perfect! I’ll definitely be rocking it on marathon day!

Good but runs small

Works great but snug. I took precise measurements but it does not come around my chest as I expected. Granted I have a large bust DDD but need to pull strings to the largest setting. I make it work but would’ve liked it to for more comfortably.

VaporHowe 2.0

Love this vest! It’s my new running buddy! Plenty of room for all my nutrition; the water bottles fit perfectly and hardly move as I run. I love all of the pockets, as well! The sizing guide predicted my fit to a T. I have a 29” sternum and a 32” bust and the XXS is perfect. I’d originally purchased a used Small, but it was too big. I don’t leave home without this vest for long runs. Buy it, you won’t regret it!

Still needs some fine tuning

My first pack was the the vapor airress, but I wanted to try something smaller and with 2 bottles so I could have 1 with electrolytes. This one though lacks some things the airress had. 1 being the pockets,. There is a cell phone pocket, but it's not great, it's not easy to get in and out and it's not sweat proof so my phone gets sweaty. The other pockets are not easy to get to so grabbing nutrition is tricky and annoying if you're trying to grab something while running. The chest straps aren't stretchy like the airress, which I miss. Lastly the bottles with the long straw don't always bend the way they should so often they'll be bouncing in my face, but they do have little tuck pockets for them to protect the mouthpiece. But it is light, however not good to wear without a shirt, it will change bad. Haven't tried it with a bladder yet.

Great vest for a first timer

This is my first hydration vest. I’ve relied on belts and was hesitant to try one but with this heat and marathon training I needed more water on my long runs. It’s fantastic! I can totally adjust the vest to fit my size and it barely bounces on runs. I’ve used the water bottle and the bladder and both are great (I prefer the bladder comfort wise). I was nervous since I’m a 32DD but the fit was great! I got the Xxs-M and I’m normally a size 0-2 in clothes.

Lots of compartments

I bought this for trail runs and races. It holds two bottles in the front and they stay secure. Super lite and very comfortable.

Like a second skin

I bought this to replace my vapor Howe. This is the only vest I have worn that feels like a piece of clothing and not a “backpack” perfect stretchy pockets- fits a 1.5 bladder and is very durable.
