N NEVO RHINO Running Vest for Women, Water Backpack, Hydration Running Vest for Hiking, Trail Marathon Race, Ideal for Women and Men (Pack with 1.5L Water Bladder)

In full disclosure, this was my first running vest purchase, but it’s been great so far. I’ve used it on about 6 long runs (10 mi+) and I’m pleased with its function and performance. The pockets are great for storing gels, bars, keys, etc. , plus the bungee cord on the back for a towel, if you so choose. The water bladder seems to have a thoughtful design, both preventing it from leaking and with a divider to help with the “sloshing” sound — as another reviewer mentioned, YouTube how to reduce the sloshing noise from the bladder. The nozzle itself is intuitive to use and no leaks thus far, though the tube is a bit long for my liking (could just be me, as I’m on the shorter side), but definitely not a deal breaker. It’s also lightweight and I could definitely see traveling with it easily. Overall very pleased and I would say to give it a try if you’re on the fence.

I was looking to pull the trigger on a more expensive vest but only needed it for a few runs in the summer months. For the price, this vest worked well. The water bag can hold a lot of water-drinking from it is fine but the cap on the hose is a bit large and annoying. I thought of cutting it off. Plenty of pocket space for all your gels, etc. they are a bit deep but worked fine. Vest is very comfortable and easy to adjust for a perfect fit. After a few hot and sweaty runs, I had to wash it and chose a delicate wash and air dried. Looked like new!! Highly recommend!

I have loved this vest so far! It has gotten me through 4 months of hikes and long runs! I use it mostly for marathon training and having hydration and more storage for energy gels, keys, layers of clothing, phone etc. has been a GAME CHANGER. My one issue is the mouth piece. The dust cover broke a couple weeks ago and yesterday the mouthpiece came off while I was trying to open the valve. I think the valve has gotten tighter and tighter with time so I’ve had to pull harder to get it open and it finally snapped. Everything else about it is so awesome (easy to clean, lightweight, not a lot of jiggling, cute) and I have gotten a lot of use out of it the past few months. I wish I could get another mouthpiece and or hose!

After not loving any waist or handle held hydration packs, I decided to give the vests a try but didn’t want to spend a ton. I am on the petite side (5’1” and ~110lbs) and was worried about it being one size fits all, it fits perfect at pretty much the tightest setting. There is tons of storage to fit gels, phone, two 8 oz bladders (may even be able to go with bigger ones), the back bladder included, plus anything else you may need. I like that the two front clasps adjust up and down, they do slide sometimes while running but not a huge deal. I’ve had the vest about three months and the only issues I’ve had is that the mouth cap broke off, it can still be used you just have to hold it while it’s off and sometimes the rubber mouth piece pulls off, neither are deal breakers though. For the price, the fit, and features I am very satisfied with this vest. One piece of advice to avoid water bounce is to turn the bladder upside down and suck out the air through the tube before inserting it in the back. Happy running!

On the fence? Just buy the darn thing! I researched for HOURS and went back and forth on all the vest and belt styles. Ended up going with this since I wanted a water bladder and liked the pocket placements. I’ve now taken this hiking, horseback riding, and running. The water bladder works great, no leaking. Easy to adjust so it fits snug both on me and my husband and takes zero time to adjust between us. Love the 4 pockets in the front, great easy access for gels, nutrition bars, phone, etc. the zip is great for cards and keys. Surprisingly lightweight even full of water and you don’t feel like you’re running like a turtle - it distributes the weight well so it’s never awkward. Definitely look up a video on how to make water bladders not slosh! Makes so much difference!

I love how this vest never bounces; it stays secure and comfortable through long miles! Tons of pockets to carry everything! The only thing I would change, is the feel of the mesh should straps; they are a little stiff and would likely not be comfortable with a tank on (but I haven’t tried it yet). Works great with short sleeves! Love the color too!

This is my first hydration vest. It's very comfortable and light. Holds all my things on my long runs

Works great until you need to refill! My face expression shows it all - a struggle! I was also left with chafe marks around my stomach. Maybe better for shorter runs, not a marathon.
