SLS3 Hydration Vests for Running Women/Men - Hydration Back Packs for Running - 2 Bottles - Hydration Pack for Running - Running Backpack Women Men 19oz (Lime)

Quality seems nice. I did my first run today with it and there are a few tweaks to the design I would do. The bottles are a bit hard to remove while running. If they had an elastic string go around the neck of the bottle and lift off it would be an easy to remove option. Also the vest pocket won't fit my iPhone 6 Plus so you have to tuck it behind the water bottle.I am 6ft but I felt the vest bouncing and bunching up after running for awhile so you have to pull it back down and tighten the strap more to keep it from moving. This was with one bottle and a phone and Bluetooth speaker in the front. I'm guessing if you have a hydration bladder and both bottles this won't happen as much but you've got the extra weight.Overall I think the quality is good. There just needs to be different sizing or more adjustments for a longer upper body.

I really wanted to like this vest due to cost and favorable reviews but it just didn't fit right on me. The back of the vest rode pretty high against my neck and the material was too rough causing irritation during my hike. I had to keep either pulling the vest down from the back or hiking up my shirt around my neck. Additionally, I thought I saw one review where the iPhone 6 Plus fit in the front pocket ...it does not. My goal was to have the phone accessible from the front versus the back like my other hydration packs. SLS3 and Amazon were very gracious and accepted my return. This was my first exploration into a vest style hydration pack ... I'll keep looking for the one that fits me best.

I wanted a basic running vest that could hold handheld water bottles, but also provide some easy-to-access pockets for keys, phone, etc. I have another hydration vest that holds a bladder on my back with the hose/nozzle. This vest is really nice and does exactly what I wanted. It has a zip pocket on the back that's big enough for a light shell jacket folded up or rain jacket, or even some food. The front has two pockets that hold the water bottles - they tie tight. It comes with the two hard hand-sized bottles. You could also put a soft water bottle in there if you want. There's also two zip pockets in the front. I put keys in one and my phone in the other. Very handy vest.

I almost sent this back since I hate wearing a water beltIt's made of mesh and felt kind of cheapBut I had a longer race and would need water.I have DD and so these don't always fit great and I didn't want to spend $100 plusWorked great and I am glad I gave it more of a try than a short runI use ultimate direction bottles that collapse and they fit perfectPlenty of room for my iPhone if I wanted some shock blocks or a power barThe back has a small pocket in the back alsoIf you want something that works without spending a lotTry it, I'm not an ultra runnerHalf marathons and trail runningWorks fine and I don't have to spend a ton of $

The SLS3 Hydration vest is a fantastic product. It is really light, comfortable, and practical. It fits perfectly: the two front straps make it easier to fit than the previous hydration vest that I had, a Nathan HPL 028 Vest. I had been looking for a replacement for the Nathan vest for a while, for close to a year, but was reluctant to try out the newer Nathan models, all of which are designed for water bladders. I wanted something simpler, lighter, like their HPL 028, which they no longer make. Also, their newer models are prohibitively expensive, and in addition to only having the option of water bladders, they do not seem to have enough pockets for other things (keys, id, credit card, phone). I took a chance, after about a year of research, on the SLS3. It has pockets for everything, including two water bottles, phone, id/cc, keys, has a back pouch where I usually carry a small hand towel and band aids, and its price is the best for this type of product that I have found anywhere. I've used it for several weeks now, and it is definitely an excellent product, and a much better fit than the Nathan vest I had before. I would highly recommend it to runners, traceurs, and other movement athletes who like to carry water, phone, id/cc with them but have their hands free for vaulting, climbing trees or walls, etc.

This vest stated it was not for smaller runners so me being a larger guy inquired about the sizing .I am broad shouldered but not fat by any means and thought this vest would be a perfect fit but turned out it was way to small for any normal sized adult. also the wrong vest was sent even though i was informed they were all the same vest but two different ones were pictured i was told they were all the same which they weren't . overall the quality looked good as did the vest just wish i would have got what i ordered and it would have fit.

I've only been on a couple of runs with the vest so far, but I've been really happy with this vest. I'm medium build (6'2", 195lbs) and the vest fits nicely. I can tighten the vest so that the water bottles don't jostle around much without having to tighten so much that my breathing or range of motion is constricted. The vest is quite adjustable and should fit someone larger or smaller than myself easily.I bought the version with two 9.5oz water bottles because I already own many 24oz water bottles for cycling; and the water bottle pockets on this easily fit my 24oz water bottles.The vest has a few small to medium-sized pockets on the front that are suitable for snacks, keys, and a small phone, while the larger pocket in the back can fit larger accessories (small jacket, hat, small water bladder, etc.).I can't comment on durability, but the vest appears to be very well made.All in all, a great product at a great price.

Good

I wasn't expecting too much as $39.99 is too good of a price on this sort of thing. I'm really happy with it. The fit is great and is adjustable. I'm about 6', 180lbs. If I was 20lbs lighter it might be too big. Everything stays in place while running.

Very good
