Hydration Packs for Any Distance

NAKED HIGH CAPACITY VEST

Fitted vests that don’t bounce are hard to come by. Naked’s High Capacity Vest does just that with a light load and snug fit. The vest is a minimal 3.5oz without any fluid, and comes with two 500mL flasks which rest inside the front mesh pockets. Each full-length pocket includes a cord which secures the flasks in place, and we found they worked quite well, even when partially full. Smaller pockets for gels sit in front of the bottles. The back of the vest includes a full-length storage compartment with a clasp at the top that works well for small jackets or a phone, which is what we used it for during long runs. The entire vest is made with lightweight Naked Exopower mesh fabric which is very breathable and prevents your phone and other gear from being saturated in sweat. This vest design is unique and was the only model we tested with a zipper that fastens the front of the vest, like a piece of outerwear. While the sizing runs pretty snug, this feature was obviously helpful with reducing the bounce when carrying full bottles.

This was also the lightest vest we tested, but it has 3L of storage, including a sleeve for holding extra clothing items on the outside of the back pocket. There are also pole carriers on either side, allowing for additional gear to be stored
