This is my first FlipBelt vest and I wore it for my 12hr ultra over the weekend and from toeing the line to crossing the finish line 12hrs later I absolutely loved it.. very comfortable, easy access pockets, fit my torso perfectly. Also love the fun pretty colors!!!

Not too bad
Let me start off by saying all the pockets are awesome and very roomy. The strap hook system is very tricky to lock down. It does take a lot of adjustments. Definitely not like some of the other hydration vest I have used. I do like the water bottles with straws although the straws do bump you in the neck. I found that just rotating them outward helps a little bit. I wish they could just change the chest straps to something easier.
I really wanted to love this vest. I have tried many over the years. I might switch out the water bottles for other soft flasks that I have. It is a great hydration best. Bladder in the back works well also. I do tend to use the soft flask bottles more often.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your detailed feedback! We're glad you like the pockets and the bladder. We appreciate your input on the strap system and the bottles, your suggestions help us improve! If you have any more ideas or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy adventures!

It's a very cool vest! Super comfortable, fits true to the size chart, lots of pockets. I bought this vest because the old one I had made accessing some items on the fly inconvenient if not impossible and this definitely solves that problem. I had a minor issue with a loop that broke immediately, not one I planned to use so it's not a critical matter, and customer service addressing the issue was very fast and satisfactory, A+.

Great but not perfect
I really like this vest. It’s small enough to stay compact and snug, but roomy enough for some storage. I like the hydration bladder that came with it too. I did have one of the little elastic loops break on me on my first run with it. Otherwise it does the job and seems to be designed well. The front chest attachments are a bit of a pain to attach but they are definitely secure.
Hi, thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad you like the vest and its design. Sorry to hear about the elastic loop issue. If you need any assistance or a replacement, feel free to reach out. Happy running!
