So comfortable!
My dad saw this and asked me if it was my nieces. She is 1.5! No. It looks so small and like it wouldn’t fit an adult, but it fits perfectly and is so comfortable! I didn’t even notice that I was wearing it. It had plenty of pockets. The first time I wore it, I had three bottles of water in the pack, snacks, and 4 shirts that I had acquired that day and didn’t have anywhere to put. They fit perfectly with no issue at all.

    Color: Finish Lime / HibiscusSize: X-SmallVerified Purchase
    I bought this several months ago to train for a marathon. I’ve had hydration backpacks in the past and I’m not a huge fan. I love this vest. The bladder doesn’t slosh around and it’s the perfect size for longer runs. I love all the pockets to hold fuel and sunscreen. The bladder is insulated but liquids do not really stay cold. It’s pretty easy to clean and dry out. For me, the bladder is good for runs about 12 miles or so but I keep a collapsible bottle in one of the pockets to fill up at water fountains on longer runs. Highly recommend!

    When I opened it up out of the package I loved it. It’s so soft and has lots of pockets. It also felt comfortable when I put it on. However, once I filled it with my gear and tested it with a hydration bladder, the pack was way too bouncy. Because the material is so soft it didn’t feel like it could hold everything in its place while I’d be running on the trails. I didn’t actually run outside in it. But I did run inside the house and bounced around to test it out. I had to return it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent fit, very lightweight, just enough storage, and perfectly placed water reservoir.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024
    Color: Finish Lime / HibiscusSize: SmallAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    Sizing:

    When comparing the size chart to the vest I was sent, I would say that the size chart is very accurate. So, while there is some stretch/give to my vest, it's not enough to size down. I would therefore suggest following the size chart when choosing your size.

    Lightweight:

    This vest is one of the lighter racing vests, I've reviewed over the past 3-4 years.

    Storage:

    There's not a great deal of storage, but there's just enough compartments to accommodate just the bare minimum of essentials.

    Hydration reservoir:

    I really like the way this is placed within the vest. The drinking nozzle also hits right where it should, and is very easy to drink from.

    Overall, this is not only a great vest for race day, it's also perfect for just about any hot day where you're going to go for a longer run, and don't want weighed down, but you do want the bare essentials.

    Highly recommended

    This has been perhaps the best piece of gear I’ve purchased in my trail running career. It’s so comfortable, and truly fits like a glove! I love that it has a convenient place to stash poles, and the large number of pockets are placed so sensibly—you can place pretty much anything that you might need immediately within reach for quick access during your workout.
    I have had it for a few months now, and it seems to be durable. My only very minor complaint is that the bladder had a very plasticky taste initially, which did get better with time!
    Highly recommend this pack!
