USWE Pace 8

Used for an Ultra 25K (but was almost 30K in the end).

I used this and had only two training runs before. It was fantastic. There was so much space, for an extra jacket, Emergency blanket, TP, goo, all kinds of stuff. To include the water. I had an extra water container that I was able to clip onto the outside. I’m really so happy that I bought this.

Much better than a running belt.

I've been rockin a running belt for the past 14 years. Hydration space was limited for longer runs. The USWE Pace 8 is working great so far. The bladder (purchased separately) for the rear pocket is large enough for my longest runs. The front pockets are spacious enough for a phone and several gel packs. The zippered pocket in the back is nice for keys, ID, and anything you can't lose. The vest is comfortable and doesn't bounce around. Stylish as well. This is a good solution for staying hydrated on long runs without having to stop.

Hesitant to splurge on myself

Very hesitant to spend the amount I did on this vest, but I'm glad I did. I'm 5'10 195lbs and I went with the XL and it fits great. No dancing monkey! LOL. The flasks are good, I will order the water bladder next. Thank you
