Great Running Vest

From the moment I got this vest I knew it was perfect. Sizing was awesome, I wear a L. I’m 6’ exactly and 200lbs. This fits perfectly snug and it doesn’t ride up. I have the previous generation in the High - Vis green color and it’s been with me on miles of training, as well as my vest of choice for the Cirque series trail races. The bottles it comes with are exactly what I needed to de-bulk my gear. I love being able to stash my car keys in the vest pocket so they don’t bounce in my pockets anymore. It’s the little things that a vest like this solves that allows you to really focus on the run. I picked this up in person at a cirque series event last year for the same price and I don’t regret it at all. This vest has also come in suprisingly handy for concerts, and I may even use it for a few leisurely biking adventures, who knows!

Great running vest

The reviews are correct; this is a great running vest. And the best part, no fuss on getting bottles in and out.

Just What I Wanted

In process of converting from road runner to trail runner. I review all equipment carefully. I find the Distance 4 to be perfect for my future runs. Fits great, plenty of pocket space. Does not chafe. Training with it now; can't wait to see how it does on big time trail runs.

I have 2 - this one is the best

I also have an Arc'terx running vest. It is excellent, but I prefer the fit of this vest. It fits securely with no bounce or chafing.

Awesome Product

Great fit and well placed stash pockets. Very little bounce even with full water bottles. Zero chafe or rubbing. Very stoked.
