“I love this vest so much. It fits perfectly, and only moves with me as I run, it doesn't chafe or rub anywhere and is really lightweight and sturdy. It has pockets galore (makes up for the rest of my wardrobe!) which I initially thought I might find annoying, but in reality it makes it much easier to go straight to the item you need (lip balm, phone, gels/jelly babies, etc.) without endless rummaging about. The 5l capacity is perfect for my run commute home, with plenty of room for an extra layer in the colder months. I had been hankering after a vest for years and am so pleased I bought one now, it's really given my running a boost.”

“I’ve taken the Curbar out on a couple of adventures so far and I’ve found it so comfortable and lightweight. The pockets and straps are SO useful and versatile; I’m amazed at how much I could fit in the back compartment. I didn’t find myself getting too sweaty with it on either. The only thing I’ve tweaked is tucking the side underarm zip toggles in as they rubbed my bare arm as I ran, but sorted easily. It would also have been great to have another colour to choose from in XXS - red please! But overall such a quality vest and at a great price. I’m going to get so much use out of it! My one regret is that I didn’t buy the Harrier water bottles…I used cheap bottles from elsewhere and ended up with wet boobs. Lesson learned. But the Curbar vest dried really quickly so it was fine in the end.”

“Been through three different vests from bigger companies, some of which left me with terrible chafing. Took a chance on the Harrier and I’m so glad I did - it fits like a dream, finally a vest designed for women that doesn’t chafe! The holy grail! Tested on a marathon and it was flawless - looking forward to many more miles (and purchasing the 10L pack!)”

“Great value for money, half price in the sale. Only used it once but seems great quality and lots of pockets/features. Excellent buy!”

“I really like the running vest (Curbar 5L), I got the beginners kit. There’s a great amount of pockets, and handy features like the race number loops so you don’t have to use safety pins on your clothes. The slot to store your hiking sticks is also really handy (but I don’t have hiking sticks yet ). The water bottles are great- I love that you can choose different colours because now I have one for electrolytes/flavoured water and one for plain water, and I can tell the difference so that my plain water one won’t get a funny taste. It’s really comfortable to wear and the adjustable straps are so handy for when I’ve almost finished my water, I can tighten it up as I go along. Definitely would buy again”

“I recently purchased a 5ltr curbar race vest. I really struggle with finding race vests I like due to fit and issues with pockets. I’ve tried pretty much everyone on the market. I’ve ran most of my longer races in the montane one and was looking for a smaller size one for the summer. I purchased this one in the sale and I absolutely love it. I’m 5’2 and very slim. I went for the xxs. It’s probably the only bag I’ve owned that hasn’t chaffed at all. It’s so comfy and think I could probably fit all the kit I’d need in for a 50 mile race due to how well it expands. I’m very happy with it”
