Gear Vest, Version 3.0: Ideal for running, biking, triathlon

The Gear Vest 3,0 is a great running hydration pack. It is just the right size for everyday short runs and also for those longer runs. The fit and how it rides and doesn’t bounce is amazing. Also no chafing. I have been running in it for about a year and no chafing issues at all even when wearing tank tops. I am an accomplished ultra and marathon runner and I am currently training for London and Marine Corps marathons this fall. Well done Orange Mud!

The only thing I wish it had would be a small water/sweat proof easy access pocket for salt tabs.

Good quality, hold steady to your back as designed. Provides a lot of different compartments to carry essentials. Great for long runs where water and snacks are needed

This is a beautifully made hydration vest. It doesn't chafe or bounce. The storage is outstanding - there are pockets seemingly everywhere, and I appreciate the clip for my car keys. My one complaint is that it's a unisex fit, and is somewhat awkward in the way it fits across my chest.

This is the second pack we’ve purchased for one person to make checkpoints for unbound a breeze. Have one loaded and ready, drop one and take the new one.

They are our GOAT pack, fit for any adventure, comfortable and functional all day everyday.

Josh, would love to see a little more reflective piping on the back, or front, especially now with those early morning runs and rides.

When you’re at an aid station and refilling the bladder, in the heat of the moment, the orientation of the grey clip can be confusing. Some kind of visual alignment tool would be helpful to make the clip-slide fast.

Otherwise, love your pack.!!!!
