Chase 50oz Bike Vest - Women's

Bladder loop broke :-(

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I liked this vest and found the multiple pockets useful. I have used it about 3 times in the last month since receiving it, unfortunately as a few others reported recently, the loop used to hold the bladder is fraying and not a durable as it should be - which limits the use of the hydration part of a hydration vest. Now it's just a good vest(??)

Good — except for an important part

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Generally works well, but after just a few weeks of use the blue rope that holds up the bladder frayed. I've used a safety pin to reattach but am not counting on this to hold for the longterm. I'm disappointed that that critical piece broke so soon, since the rest of the vest feels like good quality.

Perfect fit and function

This pack is a great complement to my new bike with not quite enough room for a water bottle. And with late summer dusty trails, it’s so much better than a dirt covered water bottle. It’s got a nice mesh lining to allow for air flow, great zippered pockets, including front ones that fit a phone. Holds plenty of water and fits comfortably and securely.

How did i live life so long without this

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

Women's specific fit

Incredible fit, versatility, simplicity, and multifunctionality while being roomy, fashionable, easy to clean, and perfectly compact. Got it in gray, absolutely adore it and truly ponder how I lived so long without it!? I use on long gravel rides, traul runs, hikes, and for sup sessions. Having a pocket for everything I'd need to take on those outdoor-ventures. Was debating on buying the camlbak frame hydro bag for extra water storage on the bike for long rides, do happy I got this instead.

Great size, broke on fiat use

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Lightweight pack with lots of places to stash snacks for easy access. Unfortunately it’s not welll made. The loop that holds the camelbak bladder broke on fiat use. Bummer!
