Recommended in Pinhoti 100!
Best running vest I’ve owned. The S/LAB Ultra 12 carries hydration, fuel, keys, and a phone better than anything else I’ve used. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and remarkably stable, with a fit that stays close to the body and never feels bulky or distracting. The storage is smart and easy to access on the move, and the included two 500ml soft flasks make it ready to go right away. At 12 liters and about 205 g before accessories, it has impressive capacity without giving up that barely-there feel.
