Best trail vest
Likes
I’m really happy with this vest! I was a bit in between sizes so I sized down to the small and the fit is just right. The bungee cord setup on the front really helps dial in the fit. (Plus it’s flexible so it doesn’t impede your breathing when you start huffing up a hill). No chaffing or rubbing on 2-3hr runs. Really don’t even notice I’m wearing a vest... so perfect fit as far as I’m concerned. The pockets are super helpful and spacious. Love the zip pocket for my phone. Plenty of room in the other pockets for gloves, clif bar, gu, etc. The water bottles are nice and high and relatively easy to access mid run (way more so than the speed flasks I was working with previously). Haven’t yet needed to use the kangaroo pouch on the back but I anticipate it being helpful for a second layer etc. I’m not planning to put in the bladder.
Dislikes
I mean it’s a pricey bag but I knew I was getting quality with the Solomon brand. Not much to dislike. If I’m splitting hairs... the pockets under my are pits are a bit hard to access on the fly but I’m not digging in there much anyway. I might also try to find one of the straws to extend the reach of the bottle toward my mouth.

This vest is incredible comfortable and lightweight. Breathes fairly well. The vest is easy to drink out of with the flasks, great storage, can hold your gear adequately. XL works great as I am 6'4.

Nothing so far.

Zero bounce after purging air from my flasks.

At 62 degrees, I was aware of the increased heat over a 3 mile run; almost immediately I had 2 full (500mL) flasks and a phone (I phone 8 plus) in this vest. It did what I wanted. No bounce at all. I immediately was aware of how hot this was...but will plan to carry this over the summer in West Texas conditions.
