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:
- Solid, non stretchy, nylon straps on the front chest adjustments for a cinch tight and no slip fit.
- We've added a structurally tough elastic in the back of the side webbing for just a bit of stretch to conform with chest breathing while still maintaining stability.
- Trekking pole anchor points are in the front of the pack, as well as the back.
- Added hang loop for hanging the pack up.
- Change to elastic strap retainers on the side from rigid plastic.
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.
