INOXTO Running Hydration Vest Backpack,Lightweight Insulated Pack with 1.5L Water Bladder Bag Daypack for Hiking Trail Running Cycling Race Marathon for Women Men

I recently bought this running hydration vest for my half marathon, but here’s the twist—I didn’t get it to carry water. Marathons usually have water stations, so my main concern was figuring out how to carry my phone and a few essentials. I debated between getting a Walkman or a portable music player because I love listening to music or podcasts while running, but I decided to give this vest a try instead, and I’m so glad I did.It was not only cheaper but also way more practical. The vest is super comfortable, and I could fit my phone (which is pretty big) and some other small items in the front pockets. (Adding a picture of the front pocket and my hands next to it for size reference; the zipper in the vest is also good quality ). My phone stayed secure and didn’t bounce around—honestly, I barely noticed it was there, which was a huge win. Running with the vest packed or with water does cause a bit of movement when you are running, but nothing too annoying, and it’s definitely better than using a fanny pack or waist belt.Another bonus? It looks pretty cool and doesn’t feel like an extra thing to worry about when you’re focused on your run. For anyone looking for a convenient and affordable way to carry stuff while running, I highly recommend it.

The best purchase I have made so far! Im on my running era and this has been so helpful. No more going back to the car for water or leaving the keys inside and having to carry my phone on my hand. This vest has it all. Water bag, key and phone holder. It is worth your money. The size is perfect! The color is pretty nice. Also really lightweight , not heavy at all.

Super lightweight and fits perfectly — it almost disappears once it’s on. This pack easily holds everything I need and replaced a previous one that didn’t offer the same versatility, especially when it comes to pocket layout. I specifically wanted a spot for my phone that I could access without taking the pack off, and this one delivers — no more awkward rear-access pockets.It features two adjustable chest straps and side straps for a customizable, bounce-free fit. Because it’s so light, it does feel a bit flimsy, and I’m skeptical about how well it’ll survive a full wash cycle (which it’ll definitely need eventually — it soaks up sweat like a sponge).My biggest gripe is with the newer-style bladder design — the fold-over top with a clip. It basically forces you to remove the entire bladder to refill it, which is a pain if, like me, you fill it straight from the fridge. I have to hold the bladder open with one hand and use the other to press the fridge dispenser — it’s awkward and kind of a hassle. Also, the drinking tube is very long out of the box, so expect to trim and re-route it.All that said, I’m happy with the pack overall. It’s a great fit, super comfortable, and does what I need — just wish the bladder system was a little less fiddly.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:As a trail runner / mountain biker I have tried a lot of hydration systems. I tried this out looking for alternatives. This works very well and can accommodate a cell phone / keys / nylon windbreaker. It really is the best option I have found for biking / jogging / hiking. Very comfortable and rests high on the shoulders. After trying it out my wife had to have one as well. I love the way it seals up & does not leak.

This vest is such an amazing design and many different colors to choose from for the beginning to expert runner. The straps ate adjustable to your figure where no bounce when in motion. Has 2 front pockets one with a zipper that can secure your phone. Keys or etc.The second can fit a waterbottle. The water bladder feels cool on your back when filled up and comfortable. The water nozzle is easy to handle while in motion. Material is dri fit and light weight.

Got this after needing to replace my camelbak I had for 5+ years. Only used it for about a month now but it is just as comfortable, similar storage for run fuel/phone, and much much cheaper. Highly recommend.

I received the product in perfect condition, wrapped in plastic so I know it’s safe considering it comes with a waterbag and straw! It has a small whistle attached and reflective stripes for safety, adjustable, and has smart minimal storage 🙂!

Nice looking vest, and easy to run long distances with. However, I had to return the first one because it started to leak after my first run. Now, with the second one, the bottom of the bag in the back rubs my lower back raw on long distances, no matter what I wear.
