UTOBEST Running Vest, Running Backpacks 5L for Men & Women, Lightweight Adjustable Hydration Pack for Marathon, Running, Hiking

This is a great running pack - the fit is excellent on the back with it not bouncing up and down when running. Pockets are the perfect size for holding gels on a long run and easy to access. Water capacity is easily enough for 2-3hrs of running. While it might not necessarily feel as premium as others (which can be up to 2-3x the price) having used this for a number of months there is no sign of wear and the water pack is working perfectly still so great value for money too. I’d recommend this to all.

This bag is definitely fit for purpose and it now accompanies me on every run. I have removed the water bladder as I felt it was more of a nuisance than anything else however the quality of it was top notch and I did test it out on my first run with said bag. The bag fits snug and is extremely comfy to wear with plenty of interior space. I like the addition of a safety whistle in one of the front pockets so you’ll always have easy access to it, this could genuinely save a life and I think this has been really well thought out. The bags quality is very good, no loose threads, holes or damage upon arrival and all zips function smoothly. The pockets on the straps are too small to hold anything other than your keys or and small headphone case. I would have like a slightly thicker strap so these pockets could fit a smart phone. When on a run, the bag sit still and hugs your back, it does not bounce around or cause problems and I also feel it doesn’t create a heat pocket which is nice.

I really like this, adjustable straps, comfy anf breathable. Unlike many others, I've had no issues with the water holder re splitting or leakage however I can absolutely confirm that the firdt coiple of times you use it yes it tastes like plastic, it does fade though. The negative: The zipper in it's side would hold a phone...if it were 2005 and phones were tiny again, I have a samsung galaxy 6 inch phone and it won't zip up. Cleaning the tube can be a bit of a bugger, but kid of to be expected, I just dry mine out afterwards to prevent mould growth, easier than trying to fully clean it. Overall I would recommend this. If you are sensible with the water holder and don't handle it roughly on cleaning or placing into the vest you won't have any issues however if you want one thay can carry a modern phone 6 inch screen or bigger (probably even smaller with a case) this isn't the vest for you!

Amazing! I am a uk size 10/12, 5ft 7, and was worried about the fit, but no need at all, the straps sate on the smallest adjustment but plenty of length left. The chest straps also move up and down, so the fit is great. Bladder is good and multiple pockets. Very happy indeed

Fantastic item, holds everything I need for my longer runs. I’ve never had one of these before so nothing to compare against but I was very impressed with the quality!

The backpack is so comfortable and lightweight that I was prepared to give it a 5 star review, but the hydration pack ruined everything. I used it for one day with no issue, but on the next day, not even half full, it started leaking everywhere, drenching my t-shirt and leaving me pretty miserable. I threw it away and made it through 35km without water. Not a great experience, but can't fault the backpack itself.

Just bought my second one to keep at work. Love it, took me a couple of runs to get used to it being on compared to just wearing a running tshirt/vest But now part of the kit. Pockets for gels, small wallet/ annoying jangly keys, i Bought the Collapsible x2 bottles with the longer bite straws so now i can sip whilst still running. Found the standard bite bottles i had to stop and fanny about removing from the vest to drink then more messing about as liquid reduces trying to put the Collapsible bottle back in the vest. The bladder pocket is perfect for my iphone 14 pro with 360 case slightly to big for largest front pockets Plenty of ventilation and where the vest Actually touches your skin the Vapour wicks away really fast just like dry fit Material. I’m 6ft 2 and 95 kg and theres plenty of Adjustment but not to much where theres webbing straps hanging around and flapping like a rucksac! Everything neat and none Jingle because that does my head in whilst running. It got a few reflective strips Subtle on the back of it for when the night start closing in Made really high Quality I’d say it should be worth more money for what your getting!! Made up

All good, look out for spare o rings supplied for the hydration pipe. I almost threw them away. Left zip pocket just big enough for 6.7 inch phone with protective case , would have been a pain to have to remove case each time you use the vest.
