Gear Vest Pro

AWESOME !! AWESOME !! SO COMFORTABLE AND PERFECT FOR HOLDING MY BOTTLES IN THE FRONT OF THE PACK!!

I am so happy that I bought this vest, even though I was trying to get away from a bladder-style vest. I actually first tried the Double HydraQuiver, but I just couldn't get comfortable with the fit. Orange Mud has a great policy and gladly took it back for a full refund. The Gear Vest Pro fits high on my back, and is very comfortable with a small bladder in the back and two 12 oz hard plastic bottles in the front, with plenty of additional room for fuel and a phone. I am a larger guy, 5'10", 235# and have difficulty finding a comfortable vest...but I hardly know this vest is there. One tip... pay attention to the instructions regarding adjusting it...cinch down the side straps before the chest straps...it makes a difference.

Hands down best pack I have ever used

After 22 years as a Marine I vowed to never, ever wear a backpack again. And then I discovered gravel riding. Backpack after hydration backpack came and went and not one was even close to be comfortable. Why in the world did they all lie so low?

At Dirty Kanza this year I was introduced to Orange Mud. Skeptical sure but one use and I was convinced. No chafing, no sway, no bounce...I am a believer!

Orange Mud 2L goes with me on every ride and this week at the Crusher was a tool I did not want to be without...

I recently was given the chance to try out the OM Gear Vest Pro as a BibRave Pro. I have to say I am really loving the vest! I own 2 other packs, so it was interesting to try a different brand. It is lightweight and rides high on my back, which allows me to stay cool/dry. I also like how adjustable the straps are; a great fit for a variety of sizes (I had friends try it on as well). I wish I had this at my last ultra, but look forward to many more miles in the future. Next up is to wear this on a longer bike ride!
