Race 8L Hydration Vest

Super Happy

Crazy how much space I had for everything I was carrying and no bouncing. I was concerned about the fit as a 5'0 woman and I couldn't be any happier. It fit with my tank top and no chafing.

THIS IS THE BEST VEST!!!

I’ve spent more than a week looking at all the vests out there - almost all of the name brands and came across Haimont. All the other brands which are more expensive didn’t have as much pockets as Haimont has. I also liked the style and fit as seen on the pictures. I’ve read some reviews that says it’s a really good vest so I ordered this one. I’ve already tried using it and really love this vest. The material is great quality and looks really durable. I ordered small size and I’m usually a small and the fit is great, I used it with no jacket on but if I needed to put one, there’s still enough space. Unlike some other vests out there that looks so tight on the body even with just a shirt on, this one fits great. I’ve filled both 500ml flasks and didn’t feel restrictive at all. I was worried my Iphone promax would be hard to take in and out of the pocket if the bottle was full, but to my surprise, I can access my phone anytime with ease. I really like the small additions that actually makes a difference - the whistle (would come handy esp. hiking), the small garbage pouch that I used to put my empty gel and electrolytes mix in (I hate littering). I anticipate using this vest for running more than 10K and when hiking with my family. If you’re looking for a vest and couldn’t decide, choose this one and you will not go wrong. Don’t fall for the more expensive ones out there. Haimont quality is same if not better than all of the other vests out there and it has more space than you think you would need.

Something different

In trying something different, the flasks in front. It is some getting used to but I think I may use this in my upcoming 50k. A bit snug but after 5 miles or so it is welcome as my other vest start bouncing around.
