Review on Nathan VaporAir Running Vest with 2L Hydration Bladder Reservoir for Men - Hydration Pack by Derrick Milkie

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Love the vest and how light it is

Love the vest and how light it is. However, I have a few questions/concerns. First, accessing the side pockets is a little awkward and I found the material wasn't as good as I expected. Even the front compartments - bottle pockets and the front ones - don't open as wide as we'd like. There may be a reason for this, but in my opinion it shouldn't be, especially since the suggested bottles that come up front aren't soft bottles and make those pockets difficult to access (I have soft bottles). , I didn't know its top wasn't sealed in some way. I haven't had to run in the rain with it, but I'm concerned about what might happen to my clothes - it's not a waterproof vest. Maybe that can be retrofitted to the next model? Overall the vest is great. It is light and comfortable and meets my expectations. I like when he sits snugly against me to make sure he doesn't move at all - the movement is VERY minimal, just the bladder is filled to the brim. So, the pockets and the top opening are my only dislikes(?) about the vest, but I'm happy with the purchase.

Pros
  • Two front easy access bottle pockets
Cons
  • Only available in black
