    This product is for…

    Trail runners from marathon to 100-mile ultras who want a low-capacity vest that handles racing and long training days. Heavy sweaters doing mountain efforts will appreciate the bladder compatibility.

    Worth noting…

    Can carry a water bladder, extra layers, and a jacket in the back pocket. Notes are one-sided positive, so independent fit research is worth doing before buying.
