Running Vest Recommendations

[Truck24hr]

Hey guys, Any recommendations for a hydration/running vest for long runs and ultras?

I picked up a Deuter. It is comfy but one thing i don't like is the hydration bladder sleeve/pocket on the back is open at the top.

I’ve tried a lot of these out and I think the Salomon advance skin 5 is the gold standard.

My personal favorite is the Ultraspire Zygos. Its really all about what fits your body best and has the feature set you want. Salomon, Ultimate Direction, Ultraspire are all top tier just find a place to try then on and see what works best for you.

When I started going longer I went with a small backpack with hydration sleeve. Vests look kinda lame IMO.

Vest keep the weight up high and keep it from flopping around. The pockets up front give you quick access to everything you need. 95+% of the runners on the start line of a 50-100 miler will be using some sort of ultra oriented vest and for good reason.
