Review on πŸƒ Optimized for SEO: Osprey Duro 6 Hydration Running Vest by Alex Montgomery

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great long distance running vest and day pack

I bought this vest to run a half marathon. It was difficult to choose between Osprey Pack's Duro 6 and 1.5. In the end, I'm glad I chose the Duro 6, especially since I also use it as a daypack. For races where you pick up the backpack right in front of him, you can grab all the goodies. It was also difficult to choose a size (s/m or m/l) as my bust is right in between the sizes. I chose size S/M and I think it was the best choice because it fits tighter and you can use all pockets. Pros: * Super light (empty). * Comfortable, I had no sores (I was wearing a shirt). * A 1.5 liter water bag lasted the entire race so I never had to stop to drink water. Filling is pretty easy as there is a quick release clip on the hose that allows you to detach the bag from the hose. * The pockets had enough space for my running jacket (which I never used), GoPro Hero 7 with selfie stick, remote control, spare batteries, granola bars, a fully filled 1.5L water bag, energy bars, iPhone 11 Max. (the fits nicely in the front zip pocket), a few things I packed after the race, a race jersey, medals. I was amazed at how much she can hold! * Nothing was mixed during the run. I used all the bags. Even the GoPro Hero 7+ selfie stick that was in the front pocket didn't move. I used a hiking pole strap to make it more secure. * Cons: * It was warmer in the back and the water warmed up quickly, but that wasn't a problem for me. * The top pocket where the keys should be was sometimes awkward to close because the zip was closed, see photo. The osprey does a great job with detail, but they fell short on this one. Other Thoughts: I have also used this bag as a daypack on international trips. Takes up very little space in hand luggage. As I walked around the cities, it was possible to carry cameras, selfie sticks, batteries, a wallet, a cell phone, and so on. I took off my water bag.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • So so
