Best is one of the lightest on the market.
Very lightweight. Comfortable with many pockets and even back storage. Water bottles need a redesign in my opinion. Too low to drink from without kinking neck and when they are less than halfway full, they move too much. I replaced with aftermarket ones. Best is 10/10. Water bottles are 3/10.

Be Aware
I ordered a women's small. I received a male small. That is not what I wanted or expected. The fit cut my neck on both sides while running a marathon and was very uncomfortable.

Large Logos Suck
Why Do you have to have a gigantic logo on the back? This isn't a TNF advertisement. No Logo on back, and front logo should be all blacked out, so not noticeable. Stop being a mall-brand, and be an athlete-led brand. No one wants to be a walking billboard.

Super comfy adaptable bag
The perfect pack I was looking for. Versatile enough for my long and short runs, also for carrying anything I don't want in my hands. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect distance vest
Used for first time this past weekend. Water bottle are super nice design. vest bounced a bit on my run but might need to tighten straps a bit.

Def worth buying!!
I use this vest for my daily runs and races. Plenty of pockets and the attached water bottles are great.

Great vest, just check the sizing
Great materials all around, the flasks are slim and longer than other brands, because of this they are easier to reach. If you plan to use it only with the flasks I will recommend going one size down, the fabric stretches so the best will move around if it's not loaded enough. Other than that great vest.

Not a bad vest but not a great one either...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this vest a couple of weeks before the race and ran into an issue right away; no bottles. Long story short, there are no workable extra soft flasks at the house but I do have a workaround so I figured I could make things work for the race...customer service was great and went above and beyond to get me what I needed before the race. The big issue I ran into was the amount of bounce the vest had when the bottles were full. The Perrier bottles I use seemed bounce less than the soft flasks which was my only real complaint; I'm 5' 10" and 165-170...maybe I should have gotten a medium rather than the large. There was also a little rubbing between my skin, shirt and vest on the upper shoulder/lower neck area...a change of shirts may have fixed that...it didn't seem to occur when I wore it without a shirt which was weird so probably the shirt and not the vest. Kind of like I said in the title: it isn't a bad vest; it's light is has enough pockets and they are easily accessible (I wore it for 30 miles of a 50 miler; it got hot and I lost the vest and carried bottles), the drawstring to secure the bottles is a novel idea but takes a bit of getting used to; when the fingers quit working it gets pretty tough...great idea but just didn't seem too practical unless your hands are fully functional which can get frustrating. It did the job and worked but it will take some practice to get comfortable with.

Great marathon item
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it when runnin 3-10 miles five plus times per week. Easy to load, soak it with oxyclean for a few hours each week, rinse and lay out to dry. A few months in, great investment.
