Summit 5L Run Vest

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Summit Run Vest 5L is built for performance. It fits snug without bouncing, holds everything I need—from flasks to gels—and the trekking pole sleeve is genius for quick access during long races."

When every second counts and every ounce matters, the Summit Run Vest 5L keeps us focused on the trail ahead. With a streamlined, chafe-free design and a spacious 5-liter capacity, this race-ready vest carries our hydration, nutrition, and essentials without weighing us down.

Two chest pockets securely hold soft flasks (included), while elastic loops provide an easy setup for a hydration tube. Multiple strategically placed pockets—front and back—offer quick access to gels, energy bars, and other must-haves. Stretch side panels and adjustable compression straps ensure a snug, bounce-free fit without restricting movement, even on technical descents.

The horizontal trekking pole sleeve allows for fast stashing on the go, and the FlashDry™ fabric wicks away sweat to keep us cool and dry as the miles rack up. Whether we’re chasing PRs or conquering ultra distances, the Summit Run Vest 5L is our go-to companion for staying hydrated, fueled, and focused from start to finish.
