Running hydration vest

• This running hydration vest comes with or without the bladder, both on the same page, so you can keep the reservoir you already run with.
• Wide mesh straps on a vest cut spread the harness across the chest rather than digging into two narrow points.
• The ultralight polyester resists abrasion, so it can be thrown in a boot wet every weekend and come back out intact.
• Bungee lacing over the main pocket holds a shell on the outside and pulls the load flat against your back.
• A hose port at the collar brings the drinking tube out at the top of the panel and forward over the shoulder, so you can drink without breaking stride.

Running hydration vest with or without the bladder

A small vest pack earns its place on the days a rucksack is too much: a couple of hours on a bush track, a summer hill walk, a festival where the water taps are a long way apart. This vest holds everything in a narrow panel between the shoulder blades, with mesh straps that sit wide across the chest and a bungee over the front to strap down a jacket. Polyester dries quickly, which counts when kit rarely gets a proper airing between outings. Take it with the hydration bladder if you are starting from scratch, or without if you already run one you trust. Cut unisex, and light enough that you notice the water rather than the pack.
