INOXTO Hydration Vest Backpack,Lightweight Water Running Vest Pack with 1.5L Water Bladder Bag Daypack for Hiking Trail Running Cycling Race Marathon for Women Men

I tried a few different types of running belts and didn’t like them for multiple reasons, mostly they jostled around on my waist which I hated and they couldn’t hold enough water for my long runs, especially in the summer. I looked into running vests and was intimidated by ones that were over $100 from the reputable running brands. As a new-er runner that was a lot to sink into a product, especially since I didn’t even know if I would like wearing a vest.I figured I’d give this $20 vest from Amazon a go (and maybe invest in a more expensive one if I liked it). Turns out I LOVE this thing. It is super convenient for long runs; it is lightweight, breathable, very adjustable so no bouncing or chafing, has plenty of storage space, including plenty of pockets (zipped ones for more secure storage and easier access ones too). There is an attached whistle which I’ve never used but like having as a little safety measure. The water bladder it comes with is a nice bonus too, but just make sure you only use water in it - I made the mistake of putting electrolytes once and it’s impossible to clean the little bits of mold in the tube.I’ve been taking this on all of my long 2+ hour runs and I can hold plenty of water and everything/anything else I need. I’ve had it for 7 months now and it is holding up really well. I’ve even thrown it in the wash with no issues (not sure if it’s supposed to be machine washable). I really have no need or desire for a “nicer” (more expensive) vest, but if anything I would like to purchase the same vest in a different color.

Got into running as a way to stay active during cancer treatment. I’ve lost a lot of weight due to my illness, and to my surprise this fits snug on the tightest adjustment! Water doesn’t slosh around. Easy to fill and clean. Very comfortable and accessible for my medical equipment. Comfortable on my chest port. Very lightweight, don’t even notice it’s there. Holds my phone well and lots of room in the pouches. Trendy appearance, easy to figure out, versatile for any activity.

I bought this water pack to train with and use for a full marathon. I was afraid it would be heavy but it’s so lightweight. It feels like it weighs a couple ounces even with a full water pack inside. The pockets are deep enough you can put your keys, headphone case and cell phone in one pocket. In the other pocket which is on the strap I had a protein bar, electrolytes packet, energy gummies, and chapstick. It comes with a chest strap that is adjustable and not bulky at all and a stomach strap. I love the placement of these straps because they really help keep the pack from moving. I like the straps to feel tight and they were tight in all the right places. I am so happy how well this pack worked out. I highly recommend this pack for any kind of training/sport especially for the size, comfort, and price!!

I purchased this unit for marathon training, and for that it works really well. I'm 6'2, 215lbs. The chest straps are at the maximum length... if you are any larger, I would not suggest this. That said, it fits quite comfortably. As I've increased my miles, I have noticed that my under-arm area rubs against the straps if I'm wearing a sleeveless shirt. With a sleeved shirt, it doesn't seem to bother me. But, I did rub myself raw around mile 20 of my progressive training.The chest pockets on the front are nice for holding your snacks. They are a little small for an iPhone pro max, but you can make it fit. (just be careful not to initiate emergency mode by pressing both sides when you slide it in)The zipper pocket holds keys, cash, small items. And there is a larger pouch area to stuff in a light rain jacket.The bladder is well made, draws easily, and holds plenty of liquid. There are two different holding mechanisms at the top for the bladder. One is a center velcro strap which works well. On each side of that there is a plastic clip and ring system. These are a bit tricky to use. The material on one side of mine has begun to fray, and I expect will not survive many more trips. That is the only reason I'm knocking a star off the review. I'd rate this GREAT for the price... and EXCELLENT if the frayed connector wasn't a worry.

Received the running vest promptly. It’s super lightweight. The bladder is big enough to hold the amount of water that I use. A lot of storage space for gels, snacks, windbreaker, headlamp and zippered storage for key ID or phone. Plus front pockets are deep enough for additional water flask (not included). Hopefully it holds up. I have 41 inch chest circumference and it is snug doesn’t bounce at all. This may be a problem for people with wide chest. Overall let’s see how it holds up. Will be editing the review in a couple weeks.

I bought this vest to gear up for my first ultra. Unfortunately training was cut short, but I've still been using this vest on my long runs. I find the pocket placement to be good, and I'm able to store everything I need, including wallet, keys, and phone (when necessary) without issue. I don't love the soft flasks that came with it, as the protective caps either bounce around or just get in the way. The vest sits comfortably, and I forget it's on once I get going.My only issue is with the hydration bladder, which started to leak at a seam at the top. It absolutely soaked my back, and created a "sloshing" effect, which is distracting during the run. Replacement bladders aren't expensive, but I was disappointed that this one didn't last very long.All in all, a good, inexpensive vest, but don't count on the soft flasks or the bladder.

Excellent piece of equipment! Fits well and doesn’t cause any rubbing or chaffing. 6’ 200lbs
