Running Hydration Vest for Men Women Water Backpack for Running 3L Running Hydration Pack for Trail Running Marathon Race Hiking

So I will start off by saying that this is a small & short bag. Better suited for smaller individuals. A 12L bag but it seems so much smaller once you put items in there, along with the bladder. This bag is enough for a short walk/run/hike/trip experience. Anything longer and you’re going to want to get a larger capacity bag. Two days in a row what I love that it’s lightweight and has an amazing amount of pockets & storage for whatever you may need for a quick grab. The shoulder straps and rear exterior of the bag are made of a breathable honeycomb mesh. The inside is conveniently large enough to carry several items, if you’re not carrying the filled bladder. Once you have a filled bladder in there, the space is minimal (look at the last 2 photos). You’re carrying just the essentials at that point. The exterior of the rear bag has crisscrossed elastic ties that are great for carrying trekking poles, a packable jacket, small blanket, etc. All the straps are enclosed in a reflective material which is great for nighttime visibility. Now my favorite part is the front of the vest! Pockets everywhere! I like to have my items easily accessible, so that way I don’t need to slow down or stop to look for items. The bag has 3 cross body slip&lock straps: upper chest, mid chest and the lower back. There are two pockets to hold the soft flasks (that come with the bag!); 2 zippered mesh compartments on the waist wrap; and 4 smaller pockets to store snacks, keys. chapstick, etc. The bladder and connecting tube worked great. No leaking issues or trouble with the tube as I’ve seen in other reviews. You have to get used to pulling from the mouth valve while being active, but once you have that down, it’s a highly effective hydration bladder. Overall, I find this bag to be just as good as the name brand bags and even better because it’s a fraction ofThe cost. I highly recommend

I own quite a few running/hiking packs and hydration bladders and this is by far my absolute favorite! You can tell there was great attention to detail put into every little feature.The size is perfect and exactly what I was looking for as a smaller build, athletic woman. I love that it's so small and lightweight and the straps keep it in secure in place so I can wear it on runs and not worry about it bouncing around everywhere or leaving my back uncomfortable and sweaty - though not too small that I can't fit everything I need to pack with me for long runs or short hikes. The straps are great and do not dig into my shoulders at all which is very important to me when wearing a pack for a long duration of time. I also love all the small pockets on the straps, both zippered and non-zippered, that allow you to easily access small items while wearing the pack without having to take it off which is very useful. And added bonus, I just love the light grey color and think it's so cute!The included hydration bladder is also great and I actually like it even more than some of my more expensive ones. I especially appreciate the included cap for the mouthpiece so I don't have to worry about it getting dirty and germy while out on the trails. And so far after quite a few uses I have yet to experience a single leak from it!A great purchase!

The vest is adjustable...up to a certain point. I had to remove some stitching on the adjustment strap and re-sew it so that it would fit me, and it's still a bit too tight. I did a lot of searching before settling on this vest, and I'm not sure if there would have been a better option, so while I wish it was a bit bigger, it still works for a plus size runner, but it's not all that flattering. That said, it did stay secure through a half-marathon. (For reference, I'm a XXL, larger chest.)Other than that, it has great compartments and pockets and can fit all that you need. It's lightweight and a fun color. I chose this one because of the fabric that touches my shirt; I don't have to worry about it making pills in my clothes like some other "breathable" fabrics.

I got my water pack Oct 2023 for a half marathon, and I’ve been using it for other races since. I’ve also been using it for long distance runs, and it’s a great backpack. I love the many pockets, each of them spacious, and the water container itself is large and closes beautifully with how it’s designed (opening folds and locks with a plastic liner you just have to slide in or out). I love this pack! Material is of quality as well. You’d think it’s a Patagonia or Colombia product.

This backpack is great. I bought it for a super-long day hike (25 miles in one day, 5000 feet of elevation gain) and I was so glad to have it. There are so many pockets so I could cram all my snacks and energy bars in there, it held my hiking poles when I didn’t want to use them, and held a 1.5 liter water bladder. I didn’t even feel like I was carrying anything. I love how it sits tight to the body and doesn’t move. The little 250mL water pouches that came with it were great for mixing up small amounts of electrolytes so I could keep the larger 1.5l bladder for water. The bite nozzle on that one took me a bit to figure out - it sometimes leaked and once didn’t flow - but then I realized you have to pull it out from the tube a bit to open and push it back down to close. So happy with this purchase - and especially for the price!

I’ve used this for 5K and 10Ks. It’s perfect. Now I have taken it on a 5.5 mile hike with a 1200 foot elevation while the bladders were the perfect size for that the actual size of the pack I may not recommend for a hike. For a hike I would probably have something a little bigger, but if I didn’t do it, we wouldn’t have this review. lol. Overall, I enjoy the bag I like to use the smaller bladder for liquid IV and the big one of course for water.

I freaking love this mini pack. Compact with good amount of compartments and zippers. It’s lasted me through so many crazy hikes all summer in Arizona and Utah, I take it with me skiing. Very durable and comfortable to wear I forget it’s on me.
