Review on ๐ŸŒฐ CamelBak Medium Nano Vest (2 X 500ml) Quick Stow Flask - Autumn-Winter 2018 by Jason Ballard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bottles bounce as you walk

Not bad for the price but I'm already in the market for another vest after using this one maybe 20 times. It has plenty of storage space - I usually have a phone, various energy gels, keys (and even sandals and swimming trunks once). Despite everything, it is light and comfortable. The main problem, and it's huge, is that the vest bounces like crazy with full water bottles - to the point where I usually only wear one at a time and use the other hand to support the one that's still on. Vest. My main purpose for acquiring the vest was to store water for longer runs, so it's basically useless. I've adjusted the position of all the straps, they're as tight as possible etc, so I'm really not sure what else to do. Maybe I should have gone down a size, but even then I think it should be sturdier than it is with straps as tight as possible. For the price I'm not too disappointed, it was worth it. for $40, while most other options cost at least $100. I still use it for longer runs but just need to know that I hold one bottle in my hand and support the other until I finish the first bottle. But I'm already looking to get better.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
