Race vests/hydro packs

[Tsheps]

Hello!!

Currently using a running belt but hard to find one that doesn't slip and slide everywhere.... I've tried a hydro pack before but it just bounced up and down.... Super annoying!!

Anyone got any decent recommendations on what they use??

Thanks!

Punishingly expensive but very good. http://www.salomon.com/uk/product/s-...opping_tr_fw14

Depending how much kit you're wanting to carry, I've loved the Inov8 race ultra vest. Fits a fair amount in if you pack it well and use the bottles rather than bladder. They have bigger versions coming out soon too.

I'm with Alan on the S-Lab skinset packs, tried and tested. Although I opt for the smaller 5 pack rather than the 12.

I have the Inov8 Ultra Vest for races but for normal day to day running, and when I need to carry more kit, I use the Kalenji Trail Bag that I got from Decathlon for £26, used it for the Lakeland 100 recce in November and thought it was excellent for the price.

Very popular with the ultra crowd are the Ultimate Direction vests. http://www.ultimatedirection.com/c-s...re-series.aspx

Three volume sizes ( male ) named after sponsored athletes - AK - 4L ( Anton Krupicka ), SJ - 7L ( Scott Jurek ) and PB - 11L ( Pete Bakwin )

They just come with 2 bottles to be carried up front, but you can fit a bladder in the back if you want

I have the S-Lab 5 and find it works well for me. Very stable and comfortable. Much more so than a Camelback I used previously. Not cheap though. The Kalenji copy from Decathlon looks like it would be worth a shot - especially for the great price.

Think I'll have a shot at the s-lab

Awesome advise guys cheers

I got a mountain hardware one for £35 and its brill. Going to use it for some ultras this year. Cant fault it for the money.
