An old Alpha 4.0 has been my go-to for up to half-marathon training for 3 years now

My go-to vest for training and racing. As a runner who lives and trains in a humid environment, one of my favorite underrated things about UltrAspire is that I don't chafe as much from their materials.

Joe Corcione, Ultrarunning Athlete + Coach
This is the best vest I've ever ran in because it NEVER bounces and fits so perfectly. Plus, I can carry a good amount of water with me, which is the main draw of me using a pack at States.

Best EVERY day vest! I use this for literally all my weekday runs, and long runs if training for 100M and under. Fits like a glove, and holds all my gear perfectly!

I love this vest because there is zero bounce. No frills, just the pockets I need and the ability to use 500ml or 800ml bottles in the front if I need extra fluid.
