DESCRIPTION

When every second counts and every ounce matters, the Ultimate Direction Race Vest delivers what serious trail and ultra runners need most: ultra-lightweight hydration, smart storage, and bounce-free performance. Designed for speed, this minimalist hydration vest strips away unnecessary bulk and replaces it with everything essential to help you go farther, faster.

With a streamlined 6L of storage and two included 500ml Body Bottles, the Race Vest gives you quick access to hydration while allowing room for energy gels, nutrition, and essentials in multiple easy-to-reach pockets. The newly updated fit hugs your torso with a breathable monomesh liner and air mesh bottle zones that maximize airflow and reduce chafing — even in the heat of race day.

A dynamic bungee sternum strap system with adjustable hooks provides a secure, custom fit that moves with you. Whether you're dialing in for your next trail race, ultra marathon, or fastpacking adventure, the Race Vest is built to help you stay hydrated, organized, and focused on the finish line.
