Review on πŸƒ TRIWONDER Deluxe Lightweight Hydration Pack Backpack for Marathon Runners - Race Hydration Vest Water Pack by Brian Barnes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Amazingly great vest

I've only run about 50 miles in this vest so its durability has yet to be tested, but so far I'm really impressed for a number of reasons: 1. SUPER light weight - I I think I have weighed it on my cradles at around 12 ounces (without bladder) - meaning it's as light as many of the leading brands. 2. It's a very breathable material and given the humidity in my area, it does a great job of keeping me as cool as possible. 3. Lots of storage space - my 2.5 liter bottle easily fits in a backpack; and everything is affordable here; that fits my phone and plenty of fuel for my long runs4. Surprisingly comfortable - fits snugly and doesn't rub in odd places5. The bladder stays fairly stable, it doesn't bounce or wobble off the vest which is good as this has always been my least favorite part of running with a backpack/vest. There are only a couple of cons though: 1. Since I was basically between the sizes I chose for the vest and the ends of the straps were tightened to get very long and dangling, I could just cut them off. 2. It's a bit overloaded in places, the presence of a whistle and various puffs really just means it's hanging more stuff than it needs (and a little bit, but more weight). Other than that, it's a great vest that seems to be quite durable and can handle any kind of stress. the best running brands at half the price.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Very expensive
