IBTXO Running Race Hydration Vest 10L Outdoors Hydration Pack Backpack for Marathon Running Cycling Hiking Fits Men and Women (Black)

I had been looking for a decent hydration vest for my longer running sessions as well as using it in Spartan races. I liked this black and neon green combo and this design was very similar to another major name brand for a fraction of the price. I received it and it was a sharp looking pack. It even fit my soft flask bottles from another brand. Nice!You will love all the pockets and storage available. Why did I return it? After two runs, I had 2 main issues that I could not figure out. You have two sternum straps that keep sliding up and down until they meet towards the middle rendering the bottom of the pack to be a bit unstable. Wished it was able to remain locked at intervals to secure the straps. In terms of the straps, they do not flex and are very long. I am somewhere between 41-42 inches chest and there is excess straps on this pack as you can see on the picture attached. It only comes in L/LX. You can tape the excess strap to avoid it flying everywhere. 2nd issue I have is that my soft flask flew out of the front chest pocket. You have to cinch the pockets tight after putting the flask back in each time. Sort of an inconvenience. It will be nice if it had a bungee retainer on both front pockets in the future. Overall, I think this pack is fine for most for the price and general use. If they can just resolve the sternum strap to be lockable at various points, only then will it be a clear win win.

This is the most useful and comfortable running item I have ever purchased SERIOUSLY. I have a garage full of this stuff and keep coming back to this one nearly every run. This is my second vest of the same make and model and I have thrown the other in the was about 30 or more times and hung it to dry and it stays in perfect shape. All the zippers and cords also still work and have no damage. The vest has MANY pockets in the front which is what I need while running. Pockets in the back are useless to me. This is the only vest I have found that fits tightly to my chest and back without bumping up and down or chafing or sliding around to the side. The deal I just got for this on Amazon was awesome. I highly recommend this item for distance running in warm climates.

The pack does as advertised. Used it for 6months and tried it out on a few Ultra Marathons.Pros: I was able to carry a 3l bladder and all the gels and powders I needed for a few Ultra Marathons. I also loved the bungee on the back to hold a quick access top.Cons. Not very durable. The pack started falling apart after a couple races. The mesh on the right chest pocket ripped open at the bottom. The bungee used to secure the pocket ripped off on one end making that whole compartment unusable. It grately reduced the carry capacity of the packConclusion: Good cheap option. If you only have $35 get it, but know that if you use it several times a week you'll need to eventually replace it. In my case after ONLY 6months of use. Nathan, Osprey, and Ultimate Direction are more expensive options that last longer.

Great fit. Stays put. Lots of pockets. Love it for hot/humid runs and long runs when a handheld won’t be enough.

This works great! I use it for long runs and can usually take up to 5 liters of water, snacks, sunscreen, etc with me. It’s comfy and adjustable. I have a U.S. size 2 torso and I have it tightened almost all the way down, but it fits well.

Zipper busted and string popped within first 3 times using it. Cheaply made

Great for running. Very breathable materials. Decent construction for the price. Light weight and has plenty of space for everything you need.

good vest but i don't recommend it if you 6 feet or taller
