New running vest works great!
I got this vest to start running. Having this vest makes me motivated to continue running. I love the functionality of the vest. I. Have yet to try to the trekking pole holders, I will on my next hike!

Function is 10/10, color is waaay off.
Functionality wise, awesome vest. Feels good running. I wore mine for 46 miles. It doesn't have a huge capacity and that's fine, it's right there in the description, so understand this is a solid choice if you are gonna have lots of aid station visits. Might not be best if you've got tons of miles to go without aid. The reason it's getting 3 stars from me is the color. I'm sorry but the color shown in the picture isn't even CLOSE to the actual color. The Carbon is navy blue. Like. . . just google navy blue. That's the carbon. I really wanted that lighter grey color as the picture shows. I decided to keep the vest and just use it as my "stay in the car go pack" for light runs or walks. Bummed about the color though.

Good vest
This was my first running vest and picked BD after reading all the reviews. Really like it. Got the medium and used the size chart measurement. I was near the bottom of medium and upper of small. It has a little bounce and I have to tighten pretty much all the way for it to feel comfortable. Overall though it performs really well.

A VEST for my MOM
The vest was a gift for my mom, and like a true mom, she’s always extra prepared for any situation—so she really loved how many compartments it has. They’re not just practical, they’re also sturdy and spacious. She ran over 20km with it and said it was comfortable the whole time, with no chafing at all.

Lightweight vest with all the
Lightweight vest with all the pockets you could need. Snug fit keeps your shirt in check to cut down on chafing.

Best vest for the trail!
I upgraded to the Distance 4 after using an older style pack-vest by another company. The vest fit right out the box. No complaints! I love it!

Great Running Vest
From the moment I got this vest I knew it was perfect. Sizing was awesome, I wear a L. I’m 6’ exactly and 200lbs. This fits perfectly snug and it doesn’t ride up. I have the previous generation in the High - Vis green color and it’s been with me on miles of training, as well as my vest of choice for the Cirque series trail races. The bottles it comes with are exactly what I needed to de-bulk my gear. I love being able to stash my car keys in the vest pocket so they don’t bounce in my pockets anymore. It’s the little things that a vest like this solves that allows you to really focus on the run. I picked this up in person at a cirque series event last year for the same price and I don’t regret it at all. This vest has also come in suprisingly handy for concerts, and I may even use it for a few leisurely biking adventures, who knows!
