Version 3.0 is out with changes to a solid nylon front dual adjustment chest strap, oversized chest pockets for plus sized phones and flask, and a dual layer pocket design that holds the phone on the outside, flask on the inside. It holds 1L/35oz of fluids in the bladder yet can be loaded up with flask up front for much larger adventures. The rear shock cord is great for jackets or a base layer. The pack size is tiny and rides high on your shoulders for maximum breathability when it's scorching hot. Tackle everything from a lunch time run, marathon, triathlon, gravel ride, mtb ride or on the slopes!
What's different with version 3.0 over 2.0? 3.0 has:
The key to fit, cinch the sides first, not the front, until you feel the pack anchor on your shoulders. Then adjust the front harness as needed so you can breathe during movement.
During any sport the Gear Vest is extremely stable to torsional, up and down, and fast movements. It tracks with your body and is very comfortable to wear. Storage up front is designed around 500ml or 600ml soft flasks.

I purchased this as a gift so I haven’t used it personally but it is very well made and well designed. I definitely want one for myself.

Great quality, lightweight, running vest that moves with your body. Very nice to hold keys, phone, gels, and sundry items.
No bounce, has everything I need to train for an Ironman and marathons

Love my Gear Vest 3.0 for running (road, trail, marathon). Purchased to replace a vest I liked but could never get the fit dialed in for me. My OM coyote brown (awesome color) gear vest was recently received and have only used 3 or 4 times to date.
OM vest seems to be working well and meets my needs…hydration bladder doesn’t slosh, plenty of room for essentials, etc. Here’s my nit-pick—I’m still having problems dialing in/adjusting to fit me. Partially due to a lack of instructions on how to fit it properly—no tags, no papers included, no videos about fit, nothing really on the site. Yep, trying to adjust sides first BUT am I doing it correctly? Granted, I am a smaller sized person, but what do I do with all of the extra straps hanging on the sides after adjusting? Can’t have that flapping about while running. 🤷♀️
Don’t get me wrong…I’ll keep working to dial it in—I like it that much—but a bit more instruction about how to fit the vest would have been both useful and appreciated.

OMG I cannot tell you enough how much I LOVE this vest. It is PERFECT for my runs. I just got into running half marathons and marathons. It does wonders for my long runs. It fits perfectly, doesn’t rub, and give me a heat rash like some vest I have. I can’t wait to take it hiking as well. I got the blue vest and it is STUNNIN. most beautiful color.
