Water BuffaloHydration Running Vest - Quiver Hydration Vest - Running Hydration Vest with Dual Water Bottles - Lightweight Water Backpack for Running,

The media could not be loaded. I have been looking for a reliable, functional and light-weight vest at with a reasonable price tag. I believe I have landed on a practically working one. After walking it from my work to home, here are my take aways:Pros:1. Tight fit, comfortable wear, light weight2. Breathable material, even at 95 degree outdoor environment3. Decent bottles, sturdy and no smell4. Right size of phone pocket in the front - finally someone figured it out.Cons:Nothing major found yet, but it will be great if a more female color is offered for my GF.

I like this vest. It's lightweight, and fits me like a glove (I have a bigger frame though). It carries all my essentials; I can fit gels in one front pouch, and my phone in the other. One water bottle does sometimes leak a little bit, you kind of have to fiddle with the lid, but overall it's been great!

This will do just fine for short trail runs. I barely fit my packable windbreaker in the big back pocket, but it fits. Enough room for a phone (pro max users, your phone might not fit), gels, food and snacks and a spot for your keys. The top pocket has a cinch close, must be for gloves. I haven’t been on a trail run yet, but it’s not much different than my $100 Solomon running vest. For $25, just buy it. Could be much worse for the price.Update: went on first trail run. Full water bottles make the vest bouncy on me. The vest is tightened all the way, but larger frame persons shouldn’t have an issue with the bounce. The vest worked awesome until down hills where I could feel the collar pushing into my neck. Again, this could be fixed if you’re larger frame.5’4 130 for reference.

Love how practical it is and light weight. Not a super fan of the bottles but they work! Also has a mini card slot with zipper.

This vest looks to be well made. The stiching is good, the fabric lightweight and breathable, but sturdy.I am 5' 11", 182 lbs with a athlethic build (42' chest, 33" waist). The vest sits up high, but comfortably so. It reaches just shy of half-way down my sides.Unfortunately neither of the zippered pockets on the front hold my phone (Motorola 5G Stylus). This is an immediate deal breaker for me as I use my phone a lot during a trail run to keep on track with trail apps.There are two other places the phone will fit - I could leave a water bottle out and put the phone there. I tested this and it works well enough, but now I'm down a water bottle. I could also place it in the large back pocket, it just fits in there, but I can't reach it while wearing the vest as it sits too high up my back.Lastly, the two water bottles leak. They leak from under the cap once it's screwed on (tested multiple times adn asked my wife to test in case i just wasn't seating it correctly), and they leak from the nozzle when fully seated. One of the bottles leaks from the base of the spout so that you have water squirting or dribbling out of the side whole you're drinking. - This is not a deal breaker as you can buy different bottles, but since the bottles are figured into the price of the product, you are paying for more than you get.I really like the rest of the vest, it just doesn't mee my needs (or admittedly low standards for water bottles). If you have a small phone, and/or already have other water bottles you may really like this vest.

fully adjustable, very comfortable to wear.

It's a great product to be used on race day, it has 2 small 12 oz bottles. The only problem I have is the nozzles tend to leak a bit. Overall it's very light and comfortable.

The media could not be loaded. Overall the split vest is a great design for carrying enough water for long run but the only down side both of the bottle have crappy seal causing the push pull mouth piece to leak as you run is my only issue. What is the point of carrying water if it leaks all over you with only half a bottle left of water?
