Osprey always delivers. I went with these ones for my daily running on the road. When reviewing, everyone recommended Salomon running vests but I have had few Osprey gears in the past and I love their workmanship and their life long warranty. So I got to be loyal to them when I can as they have fixed stuff for me in the past with their bags agws after I bought them and a used them.
This one is super comfortable and great ventilation to run in Texas summer heat. The longest run j did is 10 miles in 94F weather and this worked great for me.
This is made by a well known company and the product is a quality product. The material is soft, strong, breathable; has good hooks to hold well in place. For the price though, am not sure it is to my liking. The water on the front needs to be balanced between two bottles, if you drink more from one then you can feel the other side. Running with this was not comfortable.
This vest is more durable than the average running vest. The material and construction is high quality, typical for Osprey. The water bladders are easy to use; the bite valve works well. I’m not sure how safe the pouch material is, I can taste it even after being washed and soaked with baking soda. I was using them in bed because they’re so convenient, but I stopped after noticing I was having a reaction to it. It doesn’t seem to be chemically neutral to me. The pockets accommodate most water bottles, so it’s not a big issue. I like the versatility of the pockets, it can carry a lot of stuff comfortably. There are pockets everywhere that fit, everywhere I reach. The front closure works better than most vests with the elastic straps. These don’t get all tangled, I can remove and adjust them, and the little hooks easily grab the little loops. It’s a lightweight vest. Not the lightest one compared to minimal designs, but very light for its capacity, and the weight of a full vest feels well-distributed. Solid value, especially with the Osprey guarantee. I like that it matches their other accessories with the sand and green colors.
I got this for my husband to try out on short hikes as sometimes he’s reluctant to bring a large water bottle and does’t want to bring a backpack. This is great for a short hike or run because you can have a little water, a couple snacks and maybe a light layer without the bulk of a backpack. The design is fairly sleek too with the stretch adjustable straps adding stability. It fits well and is comfortable , he usually wears a Large size in shirts so I got him a large. As with all Osprey products the materials and workmanship are excellent.
