Running vest FAQs.
Is it worth getting a running vest?
It's definitely worth getting a running vest, particularly if you value staying hydrated and comfortable during your runs. Our running vests are designed to minimise bounce and provide a secure fit, making them ideal for long-distance and short runs.
They come equipped with features such as front pockets, elasticated water bottle holders and highly breathable back systems, ensuring you stay hydrated and cool throughout your journey.
What is better, a running vest or a belt?
Both running vests and belt packs offer unique advantages depending on your needs. Running vests are ideal for long-distance runs where hydration and carrying capacity are crucial. They come with multiple pockets, water bottle holders, and highly breathable back systems to keep you cool and comfortable.
On the other hand, Belt packs are perfect for shorter distances and minimalistic runs. They offer a lightweight and compact solution to carry essentials without extra bulk.
Ultimately, choosing between a running vest and a belt pack depends on the duration and nature of your activity and personal preferences for comfort and storage.
Should a running vest be tight or loose?
When choosing a running vest, it needs to fit snugly but not too tightly. A secure fit minimises bounce and ensures the vest stays in place during your runs, providing comfort and stability.
Wearing a vest should feel like an extension of your body, allowing you to move freely without chafing or breathing restriction. Our adjustable, elasticated components can help achieve the right fit, whilst our S, M, and L sizing options accommodate different body shapes and sizes.
