Good Vest. Terrible Bladder.
I purchased this for my first hydration vest. I've enjoyed the vest and take very good care of it every after use, but the water bladder is terrible/low in quality. I only use it on my long runs (7.5+ miles) and I have used it a few times throughout my training and it started leaking! On my last long run, my running shorts were all soaked mid-run and I ran out of water during the run because of this.

Lightweight hydration vest
Have used this a few times now on longer runs, it’s nice and lightweight. Adjustable straps to customize the fit. Nice big pockets on the front holds extra water bottles, nutrition or phone. Bladder is easy to fill, tube fits nice and secure.

Fit issues
Poorly designed. On the pack I received, the right strap is a little longer than the left, so the pack does not fit properly, even after spending a lot of time with the adjustment straps. If you're walking, it's fine, but if you're running, it's a terrible experience. With a flask in the right front pocket, the loose right strap caused excessive bouncing and the flask fell out a couple of times. If you're interested in buying this pack, I recommend wearing it in a store first.

Great Purchase
So happy we got these! Took some time to get used to but way more comfortable than running with a water bottle in hand. And now we don't run out of water during our jogs. Also pleasantly surprised the pack doesn't feel too heavy even when the bladder is full.

Disappointed
I had a hard time getting this vest to fit comfortably. It was very bouncy while the bladder was full and I was running. Also, I’m not a fan of the bladder itself. The screw cap is hard to use when filling the bladder and the plastic taste when drinking is HORRIBLE. I tried various methods to remove the test and it never worked.

A must have
This has been a life saver. I am marathon training and I constantly have to stop to buy something to drink. Having this vest and saved me time and money. I read the reviews and they were pretty mixed. I decided to give it a chance though because the reviews that were positive were really positive. I am so glad I bought it, I can see why some people have trouble because it did take a minute to figure out some things. The tube that connects to the pack isn’t tightening, so make sure you tighten that when filing up your liquid. The other thing was the mouth piece. Do not pull on the blue piece, but right below is the circular white part. When you pull that up you can easily drink the liquid but slightly biting on the mouthpiece. When I figured this out it was so easy. It’s light weight and is so accesible when running. I have used it 3 times so far and each run has been 15+ miles. Can’t love it enough.

I love it!
This vest is great! Running in the Florida heat is no joke and this vest has saved me! It’s very lightweight and doesn’t slosh around when I move. The pockets are great for holding fuel and my phone. Overall, I love this vest!

Great pack, use a different bladder
I love this pack. I was looking for something with secure and deep pockets; this was it. The fit is perfect and I love all the points in the chest and sides where I can adjust the tightness. My only complaint about the pack itself is that the zip chest pocket could be a little bit taller to fit phones better. My iPhone fits, but not easily! And my phone is on the smaller side. Probably my favorite feature is the small zip pocket at the bottom of the back of the pack. I can open and close it without needing to take the pack off. I love that! The bladder that came with it is not great. The twist cap can be difficult to thread just right. I prefer the folding top bladder to the cap lid bladders because the cap ones don’t really allow you to flip it over to drain/dry quickly. Moisture gets stuck in the top of the bladder. The mouth piece doesn’t flow as well as other Nathan bladders, but that’s just a matter of preference. Lastly, the connection at the bottom of the bladder and the tubing is a twist. Other Nathan bladders have the tubing snap into the bladder, which I prefer. I ended up using my older Nathan bladder in this pack even though it’s a 2 liter and the one this came with is 1.5. It works fine. The spot where the bladder connects to the pack via Velcro strap doesn’t match with my 2 liter bladder either, but that honestly works fine also. All in all, I’m very happy with this purchase. I needed more functional pockets and comfort, and that’s what I got. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the bladder issue. It’s not a big deal to me since I have spare bladders. However, I would be a bit disappointed if I didn’t have spares and had to buy a separate one.

Immedately started to fall apart
Overall it works just fine. The pockets started to give after 2 uses and the bungee that tightens one of the pockets comepletly broke on my 3rd run. Not built to last unfortunately.

great color, functional and lot of space
like the green, it does not leak, works well and has lots of pockets. I used to carry water belt, but this has worked well for my 20 mile runs and holds so much water. Love it so far. gave up the belt as it used to chaff me. you can even put a phone and has lots of slots. seems pretty good quality. Only gripe is you kind of have to really suck to get water out, but not at all negates how great this is.
