The running vest must match your needs

The running vest has become an integral part of many athletes in recent years. It is an important piece of equipment for a runner, just as, for example running shoes. This accessory is not about fashion or providing warmth. You really don't need that when you run. The vest has a completely different role.

• It becomes a water reservoir
• Provides storage space
• It plays a practical role

Thanks to the running vest, you don't have to hold anything in your hand while running. Even if you don't need as much while running, you can store all the essentials in it, especially in terms of sufficient fluid supply.

Running vest and its capacity

Yes, when choosing any sportswear, make sure you choose the right size. However, a running vest requires a slightly different approach. Focus on how big it will be capacity for water. This parameter depends on the length of the regular run.

Capacity of the vest	Length of run
2 l	1 to 2 hours
2 to 5 l	3 to 4 hours
4 to 11 l	4 to 6 hours
6 to 15 l	More than 6 hours

The hydration running vest contains a special bag located on the back. A hose with a mouthpiece leads from it to the front. During your run, you can drink quickly and easily without stopping.

Other parameters of the running vest

The hydrovac is not the only way to carry water through the vest. There are models of vests designed for drinking bottles located in the front. The specific choice is therefore up to you, also taking into account the type of running race. However, the truth remains that the special hydrovacs on the back can hold more water.

Every runner demands maximum comfort when running, and this is also true in the case of a running vest. Choose a fit that won't weigh you down, whether it's the size of the vest, the width of the straps, the plastic snaps, etc. The vest should be just the right size so that it doesn't restrict you in any way and fits you perfectly when you run. Any flopping or bouncing is undesirable. Ideal is a cut directly on the body.
