Perfect trail companion
Likes
I’m using this for hiking rather than running and it’s nearly perfect for a well supplied day hike. Utilizing 600mL soft flasks in the front pockets I can carry 3.2L of water in total comfort and still have room for a lot of additional gear. In addition to water (it’s AZ so I carry a lot of that) I typically have a first aid kit, phone, bag of trail mix, energy bars, sunglasses, chap stick, hand sanitizer, sunblock, hat, and occasionally a rain shell. This thing is stuffed to capacity, but it’s always comfortable and the front pockets are extremely handy.
Dislikes
I wish the sides had useable pockets like the 4L version. These were great for having access to small items without having to take off the vest. Also, I strongly recommend you take an actual sternum measurement with a flexible tape and compare that to the size chart. I should have gone down a size from my assumption. This isn’t an issue for hiking, but if I were to run with this vest it would bounce quite a bit.
