NathanVaporHowe Hydration Pack, Running Vest, Includes two 12oz Flasks with Extended Straws

I love love love my Nathan’a running vest! Six months ago, I woke up and decided to start training for a marathon. I purchased this vest to wear during my long runs but I tend to wear it for every run now because it’s so comfortable and holds things. I am so happy with this vest as it has great features. It has a ton of storage so I can take a lot with me on my runs and it holds it all.For my long runs I take: the two 20-ounce soft bottles that come with it filled with water (these bottles are awesome, btw). I also take 1.5L of water on my back (I bought the optional reservoir). I also take 5 GU gel packs on my run and 10+ dried dates. I run on a bike trail in So Cal and it can get sketchy so I also run with pepper spray and it fits that too. I take a tiny tiny sweat towel as well. Lastly, it holds my big old iPhone XI. I put my iPhone in the outer back pocket outside the water pocket. I also fit my house key in it. I put it in the same pocket with the built in safety whistle the vest has (a feature I really appreciate as well!)I also like that the straps fit around my chest instead of over them. This really is a vest made for a woman. The vest also washes well and has held up wonderfully for the 6 months of training. My marathon is just around the corner and I’ll be wearing this vest for the next big day as well (without the water). If I could change one thing, it would be that it also makes me run faster, lol. Can’t have it all tho! Kidding aside, I am am very happy with this purchase and definitely recommend this vest. You will not be disappointed. (PS, I ordered a large).

Just got this Vaporhowe several weeks ago. Used it on several longer trail runs (10-12 miles) as well as a trail race (13 miles). This hydration vest is by far the best hydration system I've ever owned.Pros:- It's like a constant, perfect hug. Does not bounce at all!- I purchased the 1.5L bladder (does not come with it) and I love the magnet attachment for the tube. It allows me to quickly access it, and then it magnets back onto the pack, therefore the tube stays in place.- The bladders are convenient. I have read in the past that people were having a hard time screwing on the tops however I have not had that problem (maybe the company addressed the issue?).- Lots of storage! The front pocket fits an iPhone 6s Plus (I can put it next to the bladder). Plus there's plenty of storage in the back. You can have even more storage when not using a bladder.- For the females, I love how this fits around the chest. I never liked the competitor brand's fit as I felt like my girls awkwardly sticking out in between the two chest/waist straps. Nathan did a great job with the fit, as the vest goes over this area nicely :)Cons:- The flask drinking tube fits through an elastic holder. I find that when they are in the elastic holder, it's harder to access. I really have to strain my neck to get at it. But if I run without the tubes in the holders, they wave around alot. Overally, it's a minor issue.- You will need to purchase the optional 1.5L bladder if you are doing longer runs that require more fluid. The flasks don't hold much. The bladder is another $30.Overall, a great hydration system. You really do get what you pay for, and this was worth the cost.

I really like this vest. I was very resistant to the idea of a running vest as I’ve been an avid running backpack user for years. It was time to replace my old backpack and I decided to try a vest. I love how lightweight it is and is more like wearing a piece of clothing rather than a backpack. I have already put this through the paces by running a 50k in southern Utah. No bouncing, no chafing, everything was just as I needed it.I am still trying to get used to the water bottles as I am a reservoir person. In my self supported long runs, I’ll use both bottles and a 1.5 L Nathan reservoir.For capacity I found this to again be perfect. I did a fair amount of wet and cold training this spring and was able to cram a long sleeve layer and light weight rain jacket into the two back pockets. There are more snack/fuel pockets than you can imagine so no issue with that either. Finally, the zippered security pocket on the shoulder was a bit puzzling to me as it was good for my car key and a smaller pocket for salt tabs but it also extends down quite a ways and I found it pretty useless. It did not fit my iPhone 7 with a case and other small things like headphones got sort of lost in the bottom end of the pocket. In fact if anything fell down that far I had to take the vest off to dig it out with only a couple fingers fitting in to retrieve the item.For my phone I was able to slip it behind one of the water bottles. This sketched me out for a bit as I was worried about my phone getting wet if the bottle leaked. Alas, not leaking and my phone was fine. My phone did feel damp from sweat and in a downpour it did get a little wet but it was fine. The waterproofness of most smart phones these days made it a non-issue.

Fitted vest. Stays in place. No bouncing. Plenty of storage space for iPhone plus, nutrition, key, and water!! I love mine!! Works perfect for me. Fits my top area. I got a large. I’m top heavy and wear a 38 D!! This is by far the most convenient, comfortable, suitable, vest for me. Ran my first marathon in it and it done great. Had no issues

This vest fit awesome. Purchased and returned a completely different one before this that had strapslike a backpack (which I knew the second I put it on would rub me raw on a run), plus the chest strap went straight across my boobs! Decided to try this one and am so glad I did! I am 5'5" 130 and wear a 32D, the size small fits me perfectly! The vest itself is very breathable and light weight. Plus it's balanced very well, so when you are carrying all 4 liters of water (which I just did on a 6 mile run), it's still really comfortable. This will be an awesome tool for my long runs!! So glad I got it - esp in this FL heat! Even though there isn't really anything insulation to keep the water cold, it still stayed pretty cool (I did put a bunch of ice in it too) throughout the entire run.
