I’m looking for a running vest to carry water on long runs. I am fine up to 14 miles with nothing but worry that for the multiple 20 milers I’m planning I’ll either have to run loops or carry.
Anyone got experience with these ones (currently on sale?) Or have recommendations for a similarly cheap something.
Osprey duro 6 for me and i love it. Best piece of kit i’ve bought in years.
2 soft flasks and fits brilliantly.
To be honest, i don’t think there is a huge difference between brands these days, certainly not at the pricier level. I’m guessing the cheaper ones may have less ‘extras’ like handy pockets and the like, and are probably a bit heavier/cheaper materials etc.
If you like thieving, then buy one with a bladder.
Take the bladder out.
Take it back.
Then buy the one without the bladder and put your stolen bladder in there
Or just do it in the store…”Oh, sorry, I forgot about that - I was testing out how they worked to decide on my best option…”
They are sometimes cheaper than the Kalenji stuff and identical.
This is what I have and it’s AMAZING
Fits my wetsuit in and a bladder of drink.
Accessible Dry pocket for my phone and a mesh one for gels.
Emergency whistle and moveable straps.
I followed GB’s advice on the Osprey Duro, superb bit of kit and I use it fairly regularly for long runs if I want to take some safety kit etc., also used it on the ultra in March, no problems running in it at all.
