INOXTO Running Hydration Vest Backpack,Lightweight Insulated Pack with 1.5L Water Bladder Bag Daypack for Hiking Trail Running Cycling Race Marathon for Women Men

I recently bought this running hydration vest for my half marathon, but here’s the twist—I didn’t get it to carry water. Marathons usually have water stations, so my main concern was figuring out how to carry my phone and a few essentials. I debated between getting a Walkman or a portable music player because I love listening to music or podcasts while running, but I decided to give this vest a try instead, and I’m so glad I did.It was not only cheaper but also way more practical. The vest is super comfortable, and I could fit my phone (which is pretty big) and some other small items in the front pockets. (Adding a picture of the front pocket and my hands next to it for size reference; the zipper in the vest is also good quality ). My phone stayed secure and didn’t bounce around—honestly, I barely noticed it was there, which was a huge win. Running with the vest packed or with water does cause a bit of movement when you are running, but nothing too annoying, and it’s definitely better than using a fanny pack or waist belt.Another bonus? It looks pretty cool and doesn’t feel like an extra thing to worry about when you’re focused on your run. For anyone looking for a convenient and affordable way to carry stuff while running, I highly recommend it.

I am an arborist and I use this hydration pack when climbing on large removals. It is slim enough that it doesn’t get hung on branches. Holds enough water to get me to my next break. So far no issues with the quality of the bladder or zipper quality. I work in the Tennessee heat and humidity and this pack is always comfortable. Breathes well and doesn’t heat me up. This would be a great option for hikers, arborists, runners or whoever needs a slim and lightweight hydration pack.

It’s lightweight (I haven’t used the water pack yet but it should be good since it’ll be evenly distributed on your back), the pockets in the front are durable and holds my AirPods, 2 iPhones, keys and pepper spray. It adjusts well over my larger chest area. The only thing I took the star off for is that the clasps are tiny and feel cheaply made and honestly I wish there were different size lengths since my chest is on the larger side.

Got this to go on walks with my dog and hiking with my sister. Backpack size is great. Color is cute. Love the hydration capacity. Would buy again.

This hydration vest has been an excellent companion for my trail runs and hikes. It’s incredibly lightweight and fits snugly without feeling restrictive, which is a must for any long-distance activity. The adjustable straps make it easy to customize the fit, so it doesn’t bounce around while running.The included 1.5L water bladder is well-designed and keeps water cool for hours, even during hotter days. (on really hot days I even added ice and it helped to cool me down) The bite valve works smoothly without any leaks, and the wide opening makes it easy to fill and clean. There’s also enough space in the vest to stash essentials like snacks, keys, and gels, which I found really convenient for day hikes.What I really appreciate is how breathable the material is. Even during intense runs, the vest doesn’t feel sweaty or uncomfortable, and the weight distribution is so balanced that you barely notice you’re wearing it. It does get gross as you sweat on it but it's easy to clean.Whether you’re training for a marathon, going on a long hike, or just need a reliable way to stay hydrated during outdoor adventures, this pack is a great choice. It’s durable, comfortable, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Highly recommend!

The backpack fits well and is light. One more small zipper component would be great, but nbd. I used the hydration bladder maybe 6-8 times and had no issues. Then it became unreliable. The valve in the mouthpiece stopped letting water flow out. This isn't something you want to deal with on a long run, or a race.

This is a great vest that I use while training for a marathon. It can hold all the gels needed for a long run, cell phone and 1.5L water. BTW that's a lot of water.Not sure about the comments about leaking. The hydration mouthpiece requires two steps to enable so that it doesn't leak. First, remove the mouthpiece cover, THEN pull the mouth piece to open the flow. Bite down on the mouthpiece and you are good.If you don't push to close the mouthpiece, it'll leak. So simple to close. Not sure why this is a mystery.

The media could not be loaded. I am really pleased with the INOXTO Running Hydration Vest Backpack. I bought it primarily for my walks to the gym, where I needed to carry a lock, water, food, and gym gear. It's also suitable for running, as it stays securely in place without much movement. The straps are well-designed and offer a secure fit.While I appreciate the overall functionality, my only minor concern is with the elastic loops intended to secure excess strap material. Unfortunately, they are not tight enough, leading to occasional sliding down to the clip, making them less effective. However, this is easily remedied with a simple adjustment, just check out my video!Additionally, I have a slight worry about the longevity of the materials. Although they are comfortable and lightweight, there is a possibility of premature wear. Only time will reveal how durable the backpack is in the long run.Despite these minor issues, the pack excels in its intended purpose, and the zipper pouch is spacious enough to comfortably fit my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Considering the reasonable price point, I find the backpack to be a great investment. In conclusion, I would gladly purchase it again and recommend it to my friends.
