Review on ๐ŸŽ’ 17oz CamelBak Ultra Pro Hydration Vest with Quick Stow Feature by Mark Turner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

lightweight, comfortable: hydration packs and bladders

I bought this UltraPro running vest to replace the tank belt and I'm glad I did have done. Much less bounce and no effect on my stride like a belt. The vest itself is very light, sits comfortably on the shoulders and does not open. My own two complaints are that (a) the bottles themselves don't slide easily in and out of the holders, so actually drinking from them isn't as smooth as taking the bottle off the strap and putting it back in (and I'm making mine slightly worried about the flexible bottle's stiff seam cutting through the bag from the inside, although it hasn't yet) and (b) the material isn't odorless (and since I soak it when it's hot outside, which of course, if I need moisture I have to wash it every time I use it). But I will happily continue to use the vest on long-distance travel days.

Pros
  • Dual adjustable sternum straps add stability and offer a range of adjustment options for personalization
Cons
  • Folds
