During my longer runs this vest has honestly been a lifesaver! It comes with two soft water bottles that each hold 500ml of water. As someone who tends to drink a lot, I find this vest holds the perfect amount of water.
Although it is small it does hold a lot of stuff, you'd also be surprised at all the different compartments. I can easily get my phone (iPhone X), money, running snacks, car keys, a waterproof jacket and so much more and the vest doesn't bounce around when I run.
There is also a whistle attached which I know is mandatory kit in some trail races. The only downside to this vest is there is no where to tuck the whistle into. I try and push it down where the water flasks are but it does sneak out and rattle around.
The chest straps are tied together by a elasticated code and can be tightened to fit you securely. They can be slightly fiddly to adjust but I don't find them too bad.
The vest washes really well and is dry in a crack.
Overall I am absolutely over the moon with Salomon hydration vest and it is so handy to have during my longer runs.
The vest isn't cheap, coming in at £150 it is a pretty expensive bit of kit but I honestly wouldn't leave the house on a long run with out it.
