Review on Optimized for SEO: Osprey Duro 1.5 Running Hydration Vest by Steve Harris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect vest for long or short runs!

I bought this vest after trying a top brand vest that didn't work for me. What I like about this vest is that it is lightweight and has all the necessary pockets for my use. I used to wear a running belt that could hold a water bottle, cell phone, and garage remote, but after a while, the weight and movement around my waist when running bothered me. So I decided to try a running vest. It works better! I'd rather have some weight on my torso than on my waist. Haven't used the included hydration pack yet because I bought a soft flask to store water in the vest's front pocket. I plan to use a hydrator for longer runs. Sizing Note: Follow the sizing guide provided. If you want a snug fit, please order one size down (S/M). My bust is much smaller than the recommended S/M, but I ordered a size M/L anyway because I found out from a previous brand I bought that it was too tight! It has adjustable straps in the front vest to dial in the best fit. Below are my pros and cons of the vest. Pros: Comes with a hydration pack, light vest, zip pocket that fits my XS Max, nice overall design. Disadvantages: two small pockets (left and right) on the front are too small and things can fall out during work, the magnet for holding the bite valve is blocked by an additional tightening strap.

Pros
  • Zippered reservoir sleeve with included Hydrapak LT Hydrapak 1.5L reservoir with QuickConnect and chest magnet included
Cons
  • Nothing here
