I bought this Gear Vest Pro for a lightweight, comfortable (as are all OM Vests) for everyday training and trail running. It’s perfect. Carries 2 600ml bottles, along with a 1L Bladder for longer days. Plenty of storage space for probably up to a 3 hour run. Will be great for shorter or loop races. Plan on using it for Gravel/ MTB too. Another winner from The MUD

Love the color & style - was looking for a bright vest for visibility both on and off the road. That need was met! Product looks exactly like the picture and is well thought out.
Never really used a vest before but once I figured out how to don the vest and adjust, this think was snug and had little bounce. I love the fact that a 1.5L bladder was included so this is a great deal for me.
There's lots of pockets to stuff items/snacks/h20. There is a shock cord for a rain shell, and the middle zipper kept my items secure (didn't open & lost stuff). Two front pouches can even fit a beer bottle inside.
Certainly would buy again and hope this lasts a long time!

Holds all my stuff. Nice snug fit
I am very happy with the lock down of this vest - The water pack in the back does not slosh or shift on my back and the front pockets have enough structure to hold onto my iPhone with no bounce whatsoever.
I bought a vest from one of the biggest names in the running pack world earlier this year, and was horrendously disappointed in fit and functionality. I decided to cut my losses and give Orange Mud a try. I'm very glad I did, the vest is a one size fits all and is definitely adjustable to a large range of body types. It sits high on the back/chest which makes for great ventilation compared to some "skin" style vests.
I have taken it out on 3 runs so far and have been very pleased with it.
The excess strap from the side strap can sometimes fall out of the retainer clip when adjusting the straps, but it is easy to secure back in while running, and I haven't had it become unsecure when I am not actively adjusting the straps.
Overall, great vest, one of the best purchases I've made this year
