“Love this item. It has space for everything and everything is accessible. I’ve had a few different race vests and this is definitely the best one yet.”

“This was a bit of a last minute purchase before this year's Lakeland 50. I kind of did what you shouldn't do and used it properly for the first time on the event! But I needn't have worried, the pack worked flawlessly. So, so comfortable and nicely fitted in all the mandatory kit, plus a few extras. Probably the best range of pockets on any race vest I looked at and I'm really impressed with the quality, not what I was expecting given the price. Will definitely be recommending to others.”

“This is a nice well made running vest, however I don't get on with it personally. It is well made and extremely competitive price wise so no complaint there! Positives Good general storage, plenty of options including the external bungees which is nice to see. Zero bounce or chafing, I agree, again well made with good strap width and padding Large back compartment, split into two to for kit and water bladder and the basics like built in whistle and reflective decals Pole holder is excellent for carrying a jacket etc. and can be easily accessed on the move Good fluid carrying capacity Negatives (for me) Fit - The medium is too big, I'm accurately about 38.5/39 round the chest but had to have the buckles on their minimum setting and then it only really fits when loaded! Width and height adjustable elastic front straps that tuck away neatly - I'm at the bottom of the medium size (mens)and the straps don't tuck away, they're on the minimum length and flap about annoyingly Zipped and water resistant phone pocket - only if you using a really, really small phone, otherwise you have to go for one of the lower zipped pockets and they barely fit a modern smartphone through the opening (as per Lloyds comments in the Run4adventure review) Stretchy, large, zipped, mesh side pockets - as above, opening are not big enough and do you really need 3 zipped pockets? should have gone with more mesh Front stuff pockets with silicon grippers - very small, almost useless Pole holders are reinforced and secure. True, but see below You can carry your z-poles across the back horizontally, but I found due to where they sit my elbows bashed the poles when running, very uncomfortable! There is supposed to be a vertical option but this is not demonstrated and I imagine would not be secure. Two bladder tube thread options plus hang loop in the back, the hanging loop works with my salomon bladder (just), but I could only run the tube over the shoulder with nowhere to secure the teet. Not sure how the underarm routing would work! Perhaps you need to buy the Harrier bladder which is a bit of a shame with so many after-market bladders out there. All in all a good product but not for me, so try before you buy. It's nice but I think they've been a bit overambitious with design features”

“I took my new Kinder 10L Race Vest and Catbells Z Poles out for their first jaunt the other day over Pen-Y-Ghent. The vest was great, no rubbing, annoying noises, great snug fit. Running with poles was a revelation too - also v comfy to run with - no sore hands etc for 10 / 11 miles.”
