If you like to run fast, race OCR, or ride light, this minimal pack is a great fit for you! On board and quick to access is 500ml/17oz of fluid. The fit is tiny on your back and ideal for mountain biking, running, and obstacle course racing. It's designed to hold the just the essentials. We minimized the amount of material on your body to achieve maximum breathability and there is zero movement. On the right side is a shoulder pocket for electrolytes and backup nutrition. On the left side is a dust cover for the bite valve.
What's different in version 2.0? We've added a zipper pocket on the back, added an industrial elastic to the back of both side adjustments to allow for more flex, made the back pocket wider to fit plus sized phones, changed to the new fun orange, and changed the flask to a 500ml.

I took the vest on a 2+ hour trail run. It has a quick easy fit that's secure, no bounce. The accessibility of the flask is spot-on. For a shorter run this is exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Awesome little pack, has all the bells and whistles to hold your goodies for a shorter run, without any excess weight. Really all you need for anything under 10 miles or so, without refueling.
I Ran my first half this past week, was nervous about proper hydration and possibly needing to stop frequently. This pack solved every issue I could think of, never needed to stop for hydration and kept all my essential nutrition tucked away in its compartments. Very happy with this purchase.
I have multiple vests. Most seem a little over the top for what I need (10K and above). I'm not a fan of grabbing cups of water at rest stops. I'd prefer to drink when I need it. The collapsible bottles works well but the sloshing is annoying. I'd prefer a hard plastic bottle with a straw (longer) similar to the one that comes with the vest. I'd like to be able to sinch the bottle so it doesn't move around. Don't get me wrong, this is now my favorite vest for running. It does what it advertises. If I was king for a day, I'd tweak a few things but they're definitely not show stoppers.
Pros:
- Compact design
- I don't need to run with a fanny pack anymore.
- Pocket on bottle is great for gels.
- Back pocket has plenty of room.
Cons:
-Velcro pouch under bottle is too small for anything. Maybe a house/car key.
- I'm reluctant to put my key fob in the shoulder pocket, seems like it could slip out. A zipper would be better. Works fine for gels.
- I'm not a fan of collapsible bottles, even with the air removed it sloshes back and forth. I put a hard plastic bottle in the holder instead.
- I have a Samsung Galaxy S21. It fits in the back pocket with some work.
Glad you dig it Jim! That small pouch under the bottle holder is specifically designed for a key so check that out! There is even a key clip in there so even if it came out it wouldn't be lost!
This has become a solid choice for running, cross country skiing and skate skiing….whether I’m with the family or playing solo.
