Review on TRIWONDER 5.5L Hydration Vest For Running, Cycling, Hiking - Water Backpack For Trail Races And Marathons by Richard Edwar

This is the first time I’ve tried a hydration vest. I was looking for a way to stay hands free while running. The vest looks and fits great. Love the color. Very adjustable. The mesh pocket in the back is great for extras that don’t need to be within easy reach. Like my gloves after I’m warmed up and want to take them off. A couple of concerns - as other have mentioned, the phone pocket is too small for larger phones. I have an iPhone XR and it does not fit into the zippered pocket. I have put it in the water bottle pocket if I’m running a shorter distance and not carrying water, or in the back if I am carrying water. So it works, but it’s not ideal. Also, I find it very hard to get the water bottle into its pocket when it’s full. It’s so snug that it’s certainly not going anywhere once it’s in, but it’s time consuming to squish it down in there. I’ve not used it for a race yet, so not sure how it will work out to refill on the go. No other reviews mentioned this problem, so perhaps mine is a fluke. I’m overall happy with the vest, but a couple of improvements in pocket sizes would make it totally perfect.
