There are only a few things to mention. It's been updated. The pros are The *br- This is a superlightweight. The *br- Adjustments on the fly were a surprise to me, as I never thought I would like them so much. My first thought is to set it and forget it, but I find, during a run, that breathing changes and the weight of my pack changes as it holds more/less water and gear. The *br- I'll elaborate on the bottles below, but for now, just know they're pretty good. Their design doesn't leak, and they stay open after they're used so they can dry out. They also fit nicely into the pack. The *br- I have hard time finding a perfect vest, but this one is a very good one. The cons are The *br- Since I wore it without a shirt, I have an open wound from where the vest connecter scraped against It took me only four miles to reach this point. It's time to tape that piece up so I can The *br- There are no problems with the pockets. Because I sweat all over my phone, I cannot put it in the side pocket. It is possible to reach into the back of one without removing the back, but it is challenging due to the cords that get in the way. Even though I would likely complain about the cords, perhaps they will come in useful at some point? The *br- Bottles flop around a lot, and that is one of the main complaints. I notice that the pocket on the right side of the bottle is an inch shorter than the one on the left, and that inch makes a big difference in the lid flipping up and down once I drink some of it. Basically, it's annoying to flop around because a lot of the time you feel like it will come out, or that the bottle is There could be just a tad more depth to those bottle pockets. ******UPDATE*******
I have run with this vest for a number of miles and the bag has held up very well. The longest run was 20 miles with 4500ft of vert, and I love it. As a result of user error, I was able to solve the bottle issue. When you put the bottle in the pocket, be sure the bottom is all the way down, otherwise, it will fall out. the cord at the top of your pocket needs to be cinched. My usual method of drinking from the pockets with the bottles still in them is to bend my neck while drinking with the bottles still in the pockets, which works just fine. I really like the bite and pull feature, keeping the bottles from leaking! This feature makes it so easy to adjust the tightness anywhere at any time. Despite tightening more during the run, I feel like I need to tighten up more. In terms of ease of zipping and unzipping the pockets on the back, I wish the vest could be taken off without the pockets becoming loose. Eventually, I do find the zipper, but it takes a lot of fumbling around and stretching my arm for it. Because of the elastic straps there, it is easy for me to get lost.
In comparison to the previous version, these headphones are lighter and more comfortable. I have been running for a few days and everything has kept The problem with the bag is that it is too heavy, it has small pockets, and it doesn't seem like it will stand for a long time. Already one of the cords that holds the back broke, and other parts are fraying. The general consensus is in my opinion that this is a good product, but do not expect it will last for a long time

In about a month, the bottles developed small holes, probably due to the size differences between the pockets. Although it was a size medium, I thought it was a little small. I wish I had gone up a size to a The size of my clothes is usually in between. One of the best things is how lightweight it is. Once I inserted a two-liter bladder into the vest, I felt I had no room for anything else. In about a month of use, the vest developed holes in the soft bottles. I returned it because of the discomfort it provided. It is also noticeable that the bottles jiggle. A lot of people have trouble getting used to that.
Running is one of my favorite activities. Ultimate Direction has been making well-known products for a long time. This vest is a great addition to a vest they have been making well for years, and it is also a great upgrade. It is however a joke to have Body Bottles. Check out the reviews of the bottles alone. Adding the Clutch handheld to the Body Bottles, I was running three of them in just over a month before two of them began leaking. While the seams do not leak, the sections that bend when the bottles are filled with liquid leak. I am in awe of your work. Years after buying the older generation of drink bottles, I still have them in excellent shape. I truly apologize for the way you handled these bottles, UD.
Having just completed my 50K race, I bought this pack since it seemed like a good fit. As I knew there would be few aid stations due to the race's strict safety measures, I made sure to carry everything I would need. When I looked down, I saw that the stitching on my flask had come out at the bottom, and the bottle had fallen out. When I was running, I felt something hit me in the leg, and I realized it was my flask on the left side. The fact that I was forced to carry the bottle the rest of the way was very disappointing.
Running pack is very cool and functional but not at all comfortable without a shirt. I ran 11 miles without a shirt and had welts on my shoulders and arms. No matter what I wear, my $20 Aoijine vest is adequate for running. Back of this pack there are some materials that are not easy to deal with. It is hard for me to imagine what it would feel like to travel longer distances.
UD vests used to be one of my favorites back in the day, so I thought I would bite the bullet and get back to them. A bottle that shipped with a defect caused the vest to leak, but the vest itself has been great. How terrible the customer service has been has really taken me by surprise. I just need a replacement bottle, but since they never answer the phone, I have no choice You use the email address or FB message I sent and I am not sure if a replacement bottle has been sent (I had expected more from you.
The fit is excellent. It is easy to adjust. This is a lightweight, comfortable bag. You'll find a great deal of storage here.
