TRIWONDER Hydration Running Vest Lightweight Water Backpack Pack for Men Women Hydration Water Pack for Cycling, Running, Hiking, Biking

I wanted this for a day pack for a week at my son's scout camp where you wear it all day in heat, humidity and rain and carry it everywhere. I wanted more access to pockets so I didn't have to take it off to get anything out. I am happy with it, especially since there is a side zippered pouch on one strap long enough for my long Samsung Note 8 phone in a slim case. That pouch and the "large" main back compartment are waterproof. This is enough because the many other pouches are made of quality stretch mesh that is a worthy tradeoff. The tiny top pockets can fit keys, hair ties, Gu packets, lip balm or packets of bug repellant/afterbite. I could reach the hip belt zipper just fine and they are roomy, plus having a sleeve undeneath. It stays in place even after a few modifications. That said, the overall fit is SMALL, and I am a 5'2" female with 38B on top but broad shoulders. The whole pack and arm straps have an elastic piping sewn to make the fit somewhat elastic but close fitting, and essentially gathered the edges so that they are smaller than the compartment sizes would be. I ended up loosening the fit around the bottom torso by cutting through the outside elastic in the 4 places where no pouch would be damaged, on either side of the "hip" belt, which actually hits at my bottom ribs after the cuts, still well above hip bones, but cutting the piping allowed the mesh to stretch as it should. The rear compartment has a mesh divider with a pocket for an included metallic-looking emergency blanket, and a removable insulating sleeve to prevent condensation from a hydration bladder (not included but we have many around) from wetting other contents. With a filled water bladder though, there is barely space for a packable jacket. The only poor design is that the straps around the bottom that would seem to allow lengthening of the lower torso circumference are sewn in a way that doesn't allow it; and while the perforated mesh fabric against your back is form-fitting to help keep it in place and breathable, I'd rather see some stiffness or structure. When not worn, the whole thing flops; it is best hung in a hook to avoid some items falling out of those compartments that are open.

1 bottle was defective but the company had great communication and refunded the cost of the bottle. This is a great vest. Preparing for the No Business 100 mile ultra, I train with a Nathan camelback but wanted front bottles that were easily refilled at aid stations, I'm buying so many shoes I couldn't afford another high priced pack. I love the ease of these bottles in front, they slip in and out nicely and you can tighten up the pocket and push them inside as you drink. My Samsung phone fits in the front pocket but it hurts my ribs after about 10 miles, but there's plenty of room in the side pockets which are pretty easily accessible, leaving that front pocket to load with electrolytes, salt tabs etc that aren't rigid. Two top front pockets hold pepper spray, spare batteries, gum, candies etc. There is so much storage space in this thing and that's what I really wanted. I packed side pockets full with 30+ miles worth of snacks, the back has space for all my first aid, spare socks, female supplies, emergency blanket, extra snacks, a jacket, etc etc and I could still fit in a hydration bladder with water/ice if I needed it. My knife is easily balanced with one of the stretchy loops on the side/front, a place for trekking poles on the back, and space to tuck a face towel under the vest around my waist. It fits securely, no bouncing at all, lots of strap to adjust to size. (Just tuck away or they'll flap around!) Overall seems great. Material not as high quality as my Nathan but hoping if I handle the zippers gently that it will last a long time. I don't like hunching over to drink so I boost the bottles out of the pocket a bit to drink.

I never received the bottles that were supposed to come with the package I bought

Super light weight and comfortable

I've had a great time using the hydration vest during my recent trail runs.I typically run 8-15 miles. Compared to smaller more traditional packs, this thing fits and feels great while running. My biggest gripe with other packs was it seemed I had to tighten it down so much it was just too uncomfortable. The hydration vest fits like a jacket, a snug one. It had very minimal bounce and movement while I was running. Now I've only used it a couple times, so the verdict is still out on the durability. But the build quality feels top notch and not cheap at all. My favorite thing about this vest is the pockets. It has 9 outer pockets to stash away anything you could imagine. Phone (I have an iPhone 7 Plus), gel packs, energy bars, sunscreen, etc. And that's not counting the huge pocket where the reservoir is stored. I could even see me using this for hikes with my family. And I will definitely be using this when I run the Spartan Ultra Beast next year. I would have to say that I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this product to any trail runner.

So far it's held up very well. The pouches all work with no zipper issues. Breaths nicely when running in peak heat conditions. Glad I spent the money on this off brand lookalike rather that 150 dollars more on the name brand.

Love this hydration pack! With so many options out there and the high cost of the majority of them I was unsure of what to buy. I went back and forth with some of the name brand options but without having ever run with a pack, I didn't want to risk spending a ton of money on something that wouldn't work for me. I found this pack that seemed affordable and had solid reviews already. So glad I found it! I purchased this pack back in May and have run about 250 miles with it since and have had no issues with it at all. The amount of pockets on this thing is awesome for carrying just about anything you might need for your longer runs. I already had a bladder that I purchased from Amazon previously and it fits perfectly without issue. I rotate between the bladder and the bottles that came with it, as well as a few water bottles I already owned that also fit into the font pockets. There is a pocket for your phone and my iPhone XS Plus barely fits, but does. Love being able to pull it out quickly and easily to take a photo or shoot off a text if needed. I highly recommend this vest if you are in the market to try one out, or looking for a second vest and don't want to spend an arm and a leg.

Absolutely loved it! Comfortable and with lots of pockets to put all I need for my runs. My phone fits perfectly in all the pockets. I total recommend this product! And I love the vibrant color! Btw! If you are wondering what size product I’ve got. I am a 5 feet girl with big boobs (38 B) I don’t know how to say this without sounding improper. But we, girls know this piece of information is important. (Lol) I’ve got a Medium Size hydration backpack and it fits perfectly on my chest and it gives you room with the straps to make additional adjustments.
